RAILROAD CONSOLIDATION.
Especial Dispatch to Daily Press,l
AUGUSTA, Feb. 18.-An act to authorize the
consolidation of railroad corporations was re-
ported from the Railroad Committee for the
consideration of the Senate, this forenoon. 1t
differs from the original bill (which has already
appeared in the PREss), as follows:
Section is so changed that railroad corpo-
rations, to secure the advantages of the act,
must have their railroads wholy in the State.
Two additional sections have been added, as
follows:
Sec. Z. Provided that the said consolidated
corporations shall have their office, keep their
records, have their stockholders meeting in
this State, in which majority of the Directors
shall have their place of residence; and shall
continue to be corporation of this State
subject in all respects to the jurisdiction of the
courts of the State.
Sec. 8. Whenever any railroad company
shall avail itself of the provisions of this act, it
shall be held to waive and surrender all rights,
powers and reservations contained in its acts
ofincorporation or any acts amendatory there
of or additional thereto, inconsistent with the
provisions of this act.
In all other respects the act is Substantially
the same as originally reported. If it is likely
to fail, an effort will be made to so change the
provisions of the will as will bring about the
Maine Central Railroad Companies.
