MADISON

The regular monthly meeting of
the Madison Board of Trade was
held Wednesday evening in Fire
mans hall and in spite of the torid
temperature there was large at
tendance of members. Following the
disposal Of the routine business the
first matter Of Importance to come up
was the question of better hotel ac-
cOmmodations. In an informal dis
cussion it was generally agreed that
Madison does not have suitable hotel
facilities at present and that such
were badly needed. Owing to the in
ability of the members of a commit
tee appointed some weeks ago to
look into the matter to be present,
the secretary stated that Amadeo,
who has just begun the erection of
a new block at the corner of Madi-
son and Main streets, is willing to
make it three-story building, the
two upper stories to be used and fit
ted up as modern hotel if the bus
mess men of the town would sub
scribe $4,000 toward the same. A
letter was read from a well known
Portland man who was willing to
run such a house.
Another proposition discussed was
to form stock company and pur-
chase the property known as the
Weston house and thoroughly refit it
for a modern hotel. 1t was stated
that this property could be pur-
chased at reasonable figure. 1t
was voted to instruct the committee
to investigate and report at an ad-
Journed meeting what it would cost
to make the necessary changes.
Another proposition was to pur-
chase the old Hilton house lot and
build a 25-room hotel. Messrs.
Charles f. Davis, Harry s. Dyer and
ID. j. Corners were appointed to in
vestigate the cost of this proposition
and report at an adjourned meeting.
Mr.. Hamlin of the publicity com
mittee then presented a proposition
for the erection of 10 or more signs
about three feet square on the roads
approaching this village advertis-
ing Madison at cost of about $50
and after short discussion it was
voted to instruct the committee ia
procure and erect the signs. At this
time the meeting was adjourned for
one week with the understanding
that the Hotel committees will re-
port.
Mr. and Mrs. De Hetre, who have
been the guests of their son, John
DE Hetre for the past 10 days, re- |
turned to their home in Biddeford.

Spread to Alarm Public.

B. A. Worthington, president Of the

Railroad Company, in a statement is
sued today, declared railroad travel
absolutely safe. Statements that the
equipment in eastern territory is IN
safe are made to alarm the public and
" ithout foundation, he said.
THE condition of the equipment
can best be guaged by the fact that
in the week ended July % the volume
Of traffic handled, with the exception
Of coal, was the heaviest for this
season Of the year in the history of
American railroads. The traffic for
the week ended July 20 was very
nearly as great. Railroads with de-
fective or impaired equipment could
not have moved this traffic"
He says further on the strike: IF
strikes may be entered into with i'm
purity and without risk or loss to
the strikers; If there is TO be no re-
ward for loyal service, it will be ex-
tremely difficult. If not impossible, to
induce any employees to remain at
work, or hire new men, in case Of
