The completion OF the Bangor Bar Har-
Dor highway will be the first work under
taken by the State highway commission
following the successful outcome of the
highway bond issue at the special elec-
ton in September. This was the state

Bangor chamber of commerce last Thurs
day evening. Gov. Milliken said he had
had a conference with Chief Engineer
Paul d. Sargent of the highway commits
sion and that Mr.. Sargent stated that the
first piece of work to be undertaken, fol-
lowing the successful issue of the high
way bond question at the polls, will be the

The work OF tearing down the shoe fac
tory Building at the corner of School and
Church streets will be commenced next
week by Lyndon McGown, unless the
offer of the owners to sell the property for
3, 800 is accepted before that time. A few
weeks ago the owners of the building
submitted to the board of trade propo-
sition to sell the building and land for
that sum, to be retained as an inducement
for the location here of some industry,
The building is falling into disrepair, and
will no longer be accepted by the insur-
ance companies, in its present condition,
as fire risk. 1t seems too bad that Ellis
worth is to lose this building. The price
at which it is offered is less than the
owners expect to realize from salvage
Of lumber and equipment, and it is hoped
that in the short time remaining before
be found who will take over the building
for manufacturing purposes.
Ellsworth friends of I. William Wad-
man were shocked to learn OF his sudden
death OF heart failure at his home in
Brownville Sunday morning. Mr.. Wad-
man married Miss Mabel Lord of Ellis
worth, who survives him, with three chill
dren. Mr.. Wsdman had represented the
u. s. Pegwood & Shank Co. in Boston
eleven years, coming to the Brownville
office OF the company little over a year
ago, thinking the change would benefit |
his health. The Brownville correspondent
of the Bangor Commercial says of him:
"Although Mr.. Wadman had been living
in Brow nville for only little over year, |
he had esta blished place for himself IN
the community that cannot easily be |
filled. He recently became a member OF |
the Congregational church and had |
reputation for being present at all COM
munity gatherings" Martin L. Adams |
