Barge Searsport Launched at
Sandy Point.

The 250O-ton barge Searsport, built for
the U. S. Shipping Roard, was launched
at l. 80 Friday, Sept Goth, by the Sandy
Point Shipbuiloing Corporation. She was
the last of the four vessels built under
government contract, the Ferris steamers
Waukomis and Albrook and the barge
Sandy Point, her sister, launched August
29th. Friday was beautiful autumn dav
and large crowd came by train, auto and
team, to witness this pretty spectacle
There was large attendance from Sears
port as she bore Jheir towns name. The
barge slid gracefully and rapidly out into
the waters of the Penobscot with flags
flying and whistles saluting She was
hauled up to the wharf by the side of her
sister and will be made ready for sea. She
was christened by Mrs. Earl Ovington of
Boston, wife Of the president of the com
pany, who stood on landing stage at the
bow and used a gaily decorated bottle of
Sandy Point spring water and roses In
the party were the office force, Mr Or
Vlile omltn, treasurer, j. Waldo Bond
and Mr.. Dearborn of Boston, Immediately
following the launching Mr. Ovington
made short and appropriate address
from the landing stage. He gave brief
history of the yard which was started in
1917, and this was his first privilege to
see one of the vessels launched 1t is
most gratifying to the company, her
builders and all concerned, that Sandy
Point has the record at Washington for
building as well or even better than any
other yard on the coast. Mr.. Ovington
expressed hope that the immediate future
would bring new contracts, as American
shipping will have the lead on the high
seas. He graciously thanked all who had
been concerned with the company in any
manner, the people of the town who had
been helpful in many ways, and hoped
the cooperation would continue as Sandy
Point has an ideal location for future work
on large scale.

Special Election Friday, Oct 3rd
To Vote as 10 whether tlc City d Belfast Shall
BuY tlc Belfast Water Works PI0Der1

Arrangements have been made to buy the Bel
fast Water Works, including all real estate, water
privileges and property, for S163, 900 90.
1t is proposed to finance this through the Belfast
Water District authorized by the Legislature last
winter and available when accepted by vote of
the people, for which the election is called OCto-
Der 3rd.
The Belfast Water District is authorized by the
Legislature to buy the Belfast Water Works and
issue bonds therefor. The Belfast Water Com
pany is already bonded for SIS 900, which would
necessitate the Water District issuing bonds of
SoS,ooo to complete the purchase. Ninety thou
sand dollars of bonds should be the amount issued,
leaving $4,000 to spare to cover any emergency
that might arise.
1t is proposed to issue 100000 year term 4 IL
percent bonds for the above purchase. These
bonds will be tax exempt in Maine and readily
saable. The interest on these bonds will call for
$1,000 per year.

The Water Company had as Of January I, 1918,

OF interest on bonds gross income for 1913 being
S22,SS4.o7, and gross expense including interest
on bonds, S22,o97.7o.
In this summary of expense for the year 1918

Boston office salaries and wages, S2,4OS.56

$4,000 from the fuel expense, making total Of

The Water District and Water Company will
be under the management of three trustees elected
by the City Council, whose term of office will be
three years, one trustee being elected each wear
after the first election.
The income from the Water Company should
provide, in addition to the payment of interest on

revenue from the Water Company should con-
