With the beginning of the new
year, the handling of the express
business in Ellsworth will be taken
over by the Maine Central railroad,
being handled much as the freight
business is now handled, but with
free collections and deliveries as at
present. Station Agent c. D. Wig
gin will be express agent by virtue
of his office, but will be allowed an
additional clerk to handle the extra
work The collection and delivery
it is understood, will be let by con-
tract In anticipation of the change,
extensive alterations are planned at
the Maine Central station here.
Plans for this work have already
been made. Roughly, it is pro-
posed to convert the present mems

ing the entire northern end of the
building. The present ticket office
will be thrown into the present
women's waiting room, making one
general waiting room, only slightly
