MAY COME HERE. Branch of Bath Iron Works May Be Established In South Portland. ' X Representatives Looked Over Lovell Arms Plant Friday. Location Struck Them Favorably It Is Said. Proposition To Knil«l Spur Track of Maine Central to Works. The abandonment of the John P. Lovell bicycle factory, giving employment, as It did, to hundred* of worthy artificer!, was a hard blow to South Poitland and to Portland as well. It will be remembered that under the stroke of the auctioneer s hammer the plant was sold not long ago, and the purchaser has held it In the market as au inviting opportunity for the promoters of various industries, suoh as automobiles, etc . which are springing up with surprising rapidity In various sections of the coun try. Since the time of the assignee’s sale rumors have been widespread that the valuable plant would fall Into the hands of suoh and such companies, whose rep resentatives have from time to time come to South Portland to inspect the prem ises, but nothing up to yesterday had taken suoh tangible shape as to be wor thy of speolal note. Yesterdav, President E. W. Hyde and others representing the Path Iron Works, in company with J. F. Proctor of Port land, visltel the old Lovell plant with a view of establishing a branch of the Hath Iron Works there. It is understood that the location was considered in mcs respeota favorable, but that it would bo necessary to Increase the number of a.res of land which now belong to the origi nal plant The parties even went so far as to consider the iallroad connec tions which it w ould be necessary to establish in order to facilitate their busi ness, and consulted with lieorge F. l-.vans, vice president and general mana ger of the Maine Central railroad as to the feasibility of constructing a spur traok which would connect the proposed works with the main line The increasing business of the works of which Mr. Hyde Is president, havlug the contract of a new United States battleship, has rendered necessary the enlargement of the works at Hath, and it has been found almost Impracticable to enlarge the plant In that city to meet present necessities i ne coming 01 President Hyde an his party to South Portland excited the liveliest Interest, and n path through the snow from the main road to the rormer bloycle factory was hurriedly made on information that the visit was expected, for It was seen at once tnat It the result of his visit should be the establishment of a branob of the Hath iron Works In South Port land that It would be fraught with great material interest to South Port land and Portland as well. in this connection it can be stated on good authority that negotiations having in view the establishment of a branch of the Hath Iron Works In Portland or vi cinity have been in progress since Decem ber last. CONFIRMED IN RATH. TlirLotrll I'laut strikes Iron Work* Folks Fntotaltly. Hath, Me., February S.—The Hath Iron Works received contracts for the con struction of a United States battleship, to be named the Georgia, from the Navy Department at Washington this aftar noon. President H. W. Hyde was in Port land today looking over various sites with a view to establishing a branch of the Hath Irou Works there. The Lovell plant, containing several aeres at bouth Portland, is considered a good location. President Hyde says that more room must be obtained for their bn lid log . .. ; operations, anil that a branch estab lished elsewhere will not interfere with tbe Bath plant. STEALING GRAIN. (toys Holing Holes Into G. T. Cert At least Brerlng. More boys have been engaging In the business of stealing grain from the Urand Trunk oars In Kast Bearing. The com I-any has been missing grain and on In vestigating discovered that the hoys had be eli taring holes In the bottom of oars and thus securing about twenty bushels of Bialn. The guilty parties have not yet been caught. In connection with the matter the po lloe authorities sold last evening that they hod for several years been aoous tum?d to receive complaints of boys steal ing grain from the Urand 'Trunk oars bnt that for the fast ala months tbess com plaints had not been so numerous. About a year ago a gang of boys were arrested on this oharge und oouvloted. Since then the depredations In this line have not been as numerous as formerly. BOAHU OF AI.UKBMKN.
