Log Driving Dispute Along St John River Not Critical
Woodstock New Brunswick June 5 The dispute over log driving along the St John River near St Leonard s and Van Buren is not seen as critical. Levi W Pond the log driving contractor left for the up river country after meeting Attorney General Pugsley and mill owners. Albion R Foster deputy sheriff accompanies Pond. The Maine Van Buren Lumber Company may modify booms to ease river passage. Allan Hammond manager says Pond s grievance is personal. Hammond notes a possible Maine legislative session to repeal the Madawaska Pond Boom and Pond Company charters. The dispute appears personal between Pond and Van Buren, not Maine and New Brunswick mills. Pond is American. Van Buren is a Maine corporation with Canadian employees. The broader issue involves the St John Lumber Company against whom Pugsley has filed in provincial equity court to address obstructions in the river.
