Bangor Hydro Electric News: March 1928, Volume 1, No.4 -- Veazie Station Issue

Introduction: The story of the Veazie Plant is almost the history of the whole development of hydro-electric plants in this country, for it is said to be the third to be put in commercial operation. Many years ago the vicinity of the present Veazie Plant was noted for its salmon fishing, the pool at the foot of the rapids which existed before the first dam was constructed being alive with the gamey fish during the season. Some of the old fishing rights which had been granted to the original settlers were still in existence when the present dam was constructed and proved a source of much trouble to our lawyers, too, in obtaining a perfect title to the necessary water rights. The exact date of the first development of the rapids at what is now called Veazie is not known, but a portion of the old timber dam which was displaced by the present dam was said to he over eighty years old.https://digicom.bpl.lib.me.us/bangorhydro_news/1051/thumbnail.jp

Bangor Hydro Electric News: November 1938: Volume 8, No.11, Bangor Meter Department Issue

There is something more than just training and education and environment that makes one man a good engineer and another man a clever merchant; one woman an accomplished seamstress and the next a cook with a reputation. Same are born engineers, born merchants or born cooks. Probably we all start thinking from the same point, the same zero hour or call it what you will. You think along one angle and I think along another, and, remember, there are 360 degrees on the compass. That doesn\u27t mean that we have to think in opposite directions. It may be that we just don\u27t quite see eye to eye. All of which leads to the statement that without doubt 99.9 per cent of our customers think that the meters we install in their homes or places of business are such complicated pieces of mechanism that a man must have six or eight University or Technical Institution diplomas before he can look a meter in the face without going dizzy.https://digicom.bpl.lib.me.us/bangorhydro_news/1023/thumbnail.jp
