fair. on the part of the Central Maine
Power Company and said that he
hoped the two organizations present
would feel as the Central Maine Realty
Company did on Friday night when
they expressed their willingness to do
all In their power to help the scheme
along.
Several gentlemen present offered
money in sums of $500 for the project
and DR.. F. c. Thayer and Horace Pur-
inton spoke in favor Of the Central
Maine Fair Association becoming own
ers of the fair grounds and buildings
which are now held by the Central
Maine Realty Co. Mr.. Eaton corrected
the impression that the Central Maine
Realty Co. was obligated to sell to the
fair association, he said that those
terms were not written into the con-
stitution but they simply were an
agreement to do so within five years
and this had run out in 1909
Hon. Martin Bartlett spoke against
the proposition. He said that he felt
that the investments would be safer if
the Realty company was holding the
grounds and buildings and might save
the fair association from disaster if
it incurred financial obligations. \. H
Barrows suggested that the whole thing
be left until after the war, but this
was put to vote and the sentiment of
the meeting was that it would be bet
ter to go ahead with it now.
The matter will now go to the Cham
Der Of Commerce, which will undertake
to raise the $4,000 for the enlargement
Of the fair.
