Kahn Not to Build at Islesboro

H. p. Farrow, c. E., of Belfast, is
subdividing the Islesboro property
known as Grindle's Point into cot
tage lots which will be placed on the
market by its owner, Otto Kahn. the
well known banker. When Mr.. Kahn
bought the property of some Is
acres in the winter Of 1916, after
spending the Summer at Dark Har-
Dor. it was believed that he was to
build Summer home upon it. The
property is extremely we'll located,
commanding wonderful view and
had been for many years in the
Grindle family. Mr.. Kahn bought it
Of Capt ]. F. Grindle. While moth
ing special has been announced as to
Mr.. Kahn's plans, the fact that he
is cutting the property up into iors
would indicate that he has no inten-
ton Of building at Islesboro. 1t is
regretted that this is so for he Is
one Of the Wealthiest men in Amer
lea, and has national reputation.
Although of German birth his SYM
pathies have been wholly with his
adopted country and his money and
time were given freely during the
war for the American and Allied
cause. His London house was used
as a recreation centre for the soldiers
and on both sides of the water his
money and influence was felt.
