Fort Western Property
Arguments were made by counsel
Wednesday at the court house be-
fore the commissioners appointed by
the supreme judicial court to deter
mine the value Of the Fort Western
property taken by the city of Au-
gusta by condemnation for park pur-
poses. The commissioners, Hon.
George w. Heselton of Gardiner.
Hon. Josiah S. Maxcy of Gardiner.

port on the matter for the October
term of the supreme judicial court.
Hearing on the matter was held at
the court house on Tuesday. July 90
Henry Hill Of Augusta, civil en-
gineer, was the only witness who
gave testimony yesterday, and testi-
fed regarding the survey he had
made Of the property.
Attorney william r. Pattangall.
attorney for the owners Of the prop
erty. the Titcomb Real Estate Asso-
citation and Mary H Davies. argued
that a fair construction OF the citys
evidence, analysed and corrected
brought the value Of the property to
$4,000: that this was the least price
that the city could argue fairly; that
taking certain data would indicate the
value at $4,000. and other evidence
submitted would show the value at
$4,000.
City Solicitor NJ. E. Sawtelle, ap-
pearing for the city, argued in brief
that the city's original award Of about
$1,000 was enough to cover the fair
value Of the property.

ties where potatoes are growing in
the greatest abundance, between
Caribou and Pressure Isle, rust is
working enormous damage. Further
loss on big scale has been caused
by the frequent rains, which have
washed out the hills over large areas.
AS a consequence the farmers are
expecting big prices. The price that
one farmer had received for his en-
tire crop was five dollars a barrel
turned over'-that is. plowed out
of the ground, to be harvested by
