matter was thoroughly discussed. The
decision of the Central Maine Power

power or the erection of a plant and
the vote of the citizens of Skowhe-

abatement are important factors rul-
ing the decision. Mr.. Brooks. who left

Augusta to confer with the Central
Maine officials but the result of that
conference is bot made public only
to the extent that nothing definite has
as yet been decided. A prominent
shareholder in Skowhegan, in an inter
view with the Reporter yesterday stat
ed that in his opinion the mill would
be built in Skowhegan. Plans for the
new plant have been made and il it is
erected, its location will be probably
on Skowhegan Island occupying space
between the Steward d Smiley Grist
