Urge Waterville
Folks to Assist in
Sunset Home Fund

If the people of Waterville who are
interested in the Sunset Home Asso-
cia ton project to take over the COL
oneI Frederic +. Boothby estate on
College avenue and who have not yet
subscribed will show their interest by
mailing checks to the Chamber OF
Commerce office or to Herbert l.. I'm
cry made payable TO Edward w.
Heath the project will be a success
according to the opinion of the MEM
bers of the Association who attended
q meeting of the Sunset Home Assoc
cia yesterday afternoon.
Everyone will remember that a
short time ago the press carried a
story concerning the requirements or
the trustees of the Colonel Boothby
estate to the effect that the full
amount of $4,000 must be raised or
at least $45, 900 and at that time 1885,
600 had already been paid or pledged
leaving q balance Of $4,000. Since
that time $500 has come in in large
leaving n balance OF approximately
$4,000. with the goal so near the mem
bers of the Association feel sure that
Watcrville citizens will not allow
such a worthy project to fail for lack
of funds.
