in value of one third within the aoXt
two or three years. NO one ne
thought, would be willing to risk this
decrease in value, which on $4,000
proposition would mean a loss OF
$4,000 to the community.
Then there is the matter of nous
ing the help. Augusta, Halloween
and Gardiner are overcrowdcd ana
available rents are to be found no
where in this locality. There are not
even rooms for boarders and men
with families could not be accommo-
dated without much hardship. There
is no real building activity in this
CITY. only something like seven
houses being built in the present
season.
A third objection and a very inn
poltant one is the keen competition
for help that would follow the arrival
of the new concern in our CITY.
AS the speaker pointed out, the two
shoe factories of Augusta and the
four shoe concerns of Hallowell and
Gardiner are unable 10 secure sutf1-
cient female help at the present time
and il would be unfair to these con-
Germs and to the new concern to in
vito further competition. The pres
cnce of the Nickery & Hill and Can
nett publishing houses, the State
House. and the small mail order
houses means a continual shortage OF
female help in Augusta.
II is. moreover. a poor time for
business expansion. All over the
country business men are cutting
down and curtailing and the present
poor record of the summer hotels in
Maine for summer registrations is
good evidence of the fact that bust
ness men are finding it necessary 10
stay at homo. to give up vacations
and TO study their businesses as
never before 10 meet the uncertainty
Of the times. For these reasons. he
reported adversely on behalf OF the
committee.
In speaking Of the housing situn-
ton, Luther Straw of the Marston-
Brooks concern of Hallowell pointed
out that there is urgent need at the
present moment of 100 houses in
Hallowcll The help situation is
difficult and their factory is not

Secretary Clarke told OF recent

are willing to settle in Augusta for
this purpose. Moreover. there are
housing possibilities right under our
eyes that are going begging. There
is the Halolwell House looking for
tenant, a house that can be bought
at a ridicuousiy low figure and
made over into a first class apart

Church on Winthrop Hill and there

At the Capitol.

Critics have placed Maurice TourA
aeur's new picture, 1.-THE Last Of
The Mohican-," BY J. Fenimore
Cooper, in a new category Of film
production. It is called a perman-
ent photoplay classic, which means
that It will live when the ordinary
entertainment film has passed on.
This is for several reasons, the hrst
being that Tourneur proved he
could make an absorbing entertain
ment out Of Cooper's famous story,
and at the same time preserve the
historical and educational values.
The Capitol theatre offers his ex-
uayagant production.
