Steamboat Service Planned for Bath to Boston and Boothbay
Revival of steamship travel is anticipated this summer with Bath to Boston and Bath to Boothbay Harbor routes under consideration. Repairs begin at the Bath wharf and other piers may follow as officials note possible service returning after two seasons without steamers. Freight capacity may drive full loads to offset high crew salaries, while circulation of inquiries from vacationers rises.

Highways to See Major Summer Construction Rush
Sargent, chief engineer of the state highway commission, announced plans for extensive summer work as funds allow. The system covers 100 to 1400 miles, about five and a half percent of the state total, with around 400 miles completed as state highways and about 500 miles aided through state and local cooperation. With federal funds starting July 1 and a forthcoming bond issue, officials expect enough to finish about 700 miles within four to five years, plus ongoing cooperative work on 3,000 miles of state aid. Annual state aid spending runs near 500,000 with bridge reconstructions at 400,000, and patrol maintenance across 4250 miles handled by 4800 patrolmen in 467 towns. Lewiston votes to install a new police signal system.

Civil War era prices compared with modern meat costs
A reader recalls Civil War staples prices and contrasts them with current costs. He notes 3.25 pounds of chicken at 12 cents per pound totaling 39 cents and pork steak at 11 cents per pound with a similar small total, arguing today’s prices feel higher than those wartime rates.
