ceived from Director p. c. Nc
Gouldrick of the State laboratory on
the condition of Ellsworths public
water supply: ''Analysis of the sam
pie of water taken from your public
supply which you sent us on Janu-
airy 6 shows this water to be free
from all evidence of having been in
contact with pollution of any kind.
AS long as the water continues in it's
present condition, it can be consid-
| cred a safe and satisfactory one to
use LOT all purposes.

The Ellsworth hardwood factory,
| which has been running with a half
i crew for short time, has now shut
down because of lack of orders. The
polishing and boring rooms are fin
! ishing up work in hand. The shut
| down will be but temporary, proba-
, bly, not more than two weeks, Mr..
| Stiles thinks. Business came to
dead stop in December, buyers stay
| ing out of the market in anticipa-
ton of falling prices, but on every
hand now there is more optimistic
| feeling, and Mr.. Stiles thinks bust
ness will get back to normal in few
weeks. During the shutdown of the
factory. opportunity will be taken
for alterations in machinery and
power to increase efficiency. In the
spring extensive additions to the
plant will probably be made.
BY the division of the Portland
agency, the c. l.. Morang garage Of
Ellsworth becomes the largest Ford
agency in Maine. Mr.. MOrang has
contracted for 306 cars this year.
Mr.. Morang has never been able to
| get cars enough to meet the demand
in his territory. He expects to sell
this year close to 400 cars. Last
month he sold forty-three cars. Mr..
Morang foresees a shortage in cars
again this year, production having
been curtailed by shutting down the
factory Mr.. Ford was in advance
of the procession when he made the
big reduction in the price of cars
last year, and price of the material
entering into his cars has not
dropped correspondingly as he an
ticipated. Mr.. Morang has the as
surance of the company that Ford
cars will not be any cheaper this
spring, but he is not equally sure that
there will not be an advance in
price in February or March.
