The sound Industrial conditions in
Maine were never better exemplified
than by the remarkable growth of
power output shown by Central
Maine Power Company through 1929.
While the year st;ll has a few days
to run, it is possible to estimate that
the growth Of generated power in
1922 compared with 1921 was at
least 100000 kilowatt hours.
On Tuesday, December 10 the
company produced the greatest daily
output of it's history-mOre than a
half million kilowatt hours. This is
over 22Go more electrical energy than
was ever produced by the Company
in any one day prior to this year.
The present season has furnished
one Of the most severe tests of the
PAST ~ years for Maine organiza-
lions that are dependent on water
power Central Maine Power Com
pany Is fortunate in that the smaller
streams upon which 1t depends for
some of its power, notably the Sebas-
ticook and the Messalonskee. are in
good condition at present. The two
larger rivers on which it has power,
tho Kennebcc and the Androscoggin,
thanks to, their very considerable
storage, are in fairly good condition
considerably better than such
rivers as the Saco.

HALL0WELL MAN
HAS CLOSE CALL
FROM DROWNING

Prompt action upon the part of
employees of the Purinton Coal Co,
and of Lawrence Purinton undoubt-
edly saved the life of Leslie Meserve
Of Hallowell who fell through the ice
in the KeAnebec River, about
o'clock Wednesday afternoon.
Tile accident occurred about 80 feet
from the Purinton coal wharf and
might not have been discovered if a
crew of men had not been working in
the coal yard at the time. AS Mr..
Meserve broke through the ice he
called for help nd the men, hearing
him, rushed to his aid
Plarks were quickly procured and
with their aid, q man went out and
tossed him rein, which had been
taken from the harness of one of the
horses in the yard. He was then
drawn ashore.
Mr.. Meservc was taken to the
boiler room Of the Purinton block
where he was warmed up and dried
out as well as possible. He has been

was coming to Augusta at the time Of
the accident and after he had recov-
cred from the effects Of the exposure
he continued on his way to the Of
flee of the doctor. He was in the
water about Is minutes.
Four things were really response
BILE for Mr.. Meserve reaching the
shore in safety. One was that when
he fell through the ice it broke a
hole only large enough to allow his
body to fall through. and he remained
with his head and shoulders above
the ice. supported by his arms. Then
too, If the accident had occurred later
in the afternoon it is doubtful if he
would have been discovered. The
fact that the men were present at the
yard at that time was also fortunate
and finally it was extremely fortunate
that the rein of the harness was
Strong enough to. support him.
