STEAMBOAT PROJECT CAN
vASS AT $4,000 MARK

Slowly and steadily the merchants
of Augusta have begun to take hold
Of the steamboat project with their
usual vim and that determination to
see it through, that is characteristic
of this city. In place Of the I'll

vass, very definite Sure, put me
down for Ave hundred" was received
yesterday. Many of the men said
that these are doubtful times due to
the general liquidation Of stocks in
trade and the general money shortage
that always prevails Just before
Christmas, but that they want this
service and that the community needs
the river transportation in order to
grow. Men who had subscribed to
$500 worth Of the Kennebec Naviga-
ton stock promised to take more in
case Augusta should fall short Of her
quota. I'VE always do put over our
community matters and we shall not
fail in this" they said.
The total, at the end of the day.
however. was very gratifying and
shows the confidence that the public
has in the proposition. At p. NJ.
Wednesday the total had reached the
/ $4,000 mark.
It Is expected that many replies
will be received today from special
letters sent out to prospective inves-
tors. many Of whom cannot be reach
cd by personal soliciting in the
short time at the disposal of the
committee, An per cent security
protected from unfriendly control by
opposing interests is not placed on
the market everyday, and the fact
that this stock is being bought by
the business men up and down the
river adds to it's attractiveness to the
small investor. Telephone subscrip-
lions yesterday amounted to $1,000.
The canvass will be resumed today.
