WILL MATHEWS MILL LEAVE BELFAST?
O. E. Frost, proprietor of Mathews mill,
one of Belfast's most dependable indust-
ries, left Tuesday noon on business trip
and will also investigate several locations
that have been offered him including
Portsmouth, N. H., New Bedford and
Chelsea, Mass. Mr.. Frost says the fact
that he must move his business off of the
lines of the M. C. R. R. is his only reason
of even thinking of moving. He says .he
M. C. r. R. and the Bangor & Aroostook
are the only ones in the country to refuse
to 60 into the rate reduction deal and
this is the effect it will have on one in
dustry at least. He has orders in for large
amounts of lumber that he cannot lind in
the State and is obliged to go west or
south for it. He has had IL cars arrive
since Jan. 1st and the rate now IN force
costs him $l00 extra each. He also has
81 cars more being loaded or on the way.
The total extra for the year would be be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000. Mr.. Frost
took the matter up with the Belfast
Chamber of Commerce at its meeting last
Thursday evening, when Mayor c. w.
Wescott and Morris L. Slugg were made
a committee to interview the M. C. R. r.
in an endeavor to have the present rate
reduced.
