Timely Discovery
Averts Damaging
Fire in Wood Plant

The Augusta fire department was
called out at 80 Saturday afternoon to
fight a fire in the shed attached to the
building on upper state street formerly
occupied by the Wesserunsett Garage
Co. and now occupied by Frank Ma
dore as a wood working shop.
The fire was discovered by people
living in n neighboring house and the
alarm was at once runG in. Before
the fire apparatus arrived a lawn nose
had been turned upon the blaze ana
when the firemeu arrived they were
able to extinguish the blaze with the
large chemical tank on the truck ana
the smaller ones which are also carried
by the truck.
The shed was partly full OF dried
lumber and a few minutes start would
have made this bad fire. A singular
coincidence is that Mr.. Madore was
completely burned out about month
ago when the Shaw mill, near the gas
house, was destroyed by fire.

New Type of Single
Operator Cars in
Service Local Lines

One of the new one-man cars Whlcn
are to be used by the y. & X. railroad
arrived Sunday morning in this city
and was Immediately put on the Car
local run. This car seems
to be very satisfactory and is but one
of five that will be used here. Two
others arrived Sunday night and two
more are expected today. They Will
also be put onto this local run.
The cars are much larger than the
cne-man cars now in use on the VIM
throp line. as they seat 80 passengers.
This is more than the cars at present
used on that local run. They resem-
bic. both in size. color and design. the
cars now being used on the WaterVilie-
Lewiston run and are eisht-wheel cars
instead of four as are the one-man cars
that have been in use here. They
are automatic and will prove a great
addition to the electric service of this
CT and surrounding towns.
