The Railroad Commissioners yesterday, a
Belfast, in relation to the Belfast g. Moose.
heal Lake Railroad Company and the Maine
Central Railroad Company, rendered the
following
DECISION.
In the matter arising out of the Contract for
Lease" entered into between the Belfast
Moosehead Lake Railroad Company and
the Maine Central Railroad Company, on
the 10th day of June A. ID. 1869 -
Upon the application of said Belfast &
Moosehead Lake Railroad Company to us.
under the 9th article of said contract, to de-
eide difference alleged to have arisen be-
tween said parties in relation to the building
the road-that is the subject matter of said
contract,-and after due notice to both par
ties, and their appearance by counsel and di-
rectors, at BurDham, on the Eth instant, we
proceeded in company with said directors and
counsel, to personally inspect and examine
said road from its connection with the Maine
Central at Burnham to Belfast. And after
having viewed the same pc Iar es was necess-
airy to the understanding its true condition,
we appointed Monday, the 2lst November
instant, at o'clock p. NJ, at Belfast, as the
time and place for further hearing of the
adjourned thereto. AT which time and place
we met at the Court House in said Belfast
and heard evidence under oath sin relation
to the building the road" and the said matter
in difference between said parties.
And now after view of the road, and due
consideration of the suggestions of counsel on
both sides, and of directors made when to-
gether, IN the progress of our view of it, and
after mature consideration of the contract
aforesaid between the parties, we have come
to determination of the questions in differ
ence between them, touching the con-
struction of said road that have been present
ed to us, and this is our opinion and decision
in the premises:
That said railroad from Belfast to the Me-
Central road at Burnham was built and ready
for the rolling stock on the l>t day of Novem-
Der, A. ID. 1870, as required by the contract
for Lease" of said road, entered into by the
Belfast Moosehead Lake Railroad Company
and the Maine Central Railroad Company, on
the 10Th June, 1869, and in the manner as so
required for the reception of its rolling stock.
That said railroad from Belfast 10 the ME-
Central road at Burnham. in its organic con-
structlon and in its general character, was on
the first day of November aforesaid and is
now "a first class railroad" and such as is
called for by the contract aforesaid between
the parties. But in some minor respects we
think it fails to come up to the requisition OF
said contract for Lease.h AS a completed
road. 1t is so tar finished and agreeably to
the contract as to be ready for the rolling
stock, and in fit condition to be operated
