pie will take the other alternative. The
cry of monopoly, In bad sense, is idle.
The reader may ask why then somuch
oppositions The most strenuous oppo-
sition comes from those who think their
interest lies in having the roads remain
as now. Self interest lies at the bottom
of both the opposition and the favoring
of consolidation. The people who want
a railroad from Rockland to Winierport
oppose, because they think they may
have aid from one of these roads for
their scheme. Another section may ia
vor it because they think they see some
help for their pet scheme by consolida-
ton. The other day we said TO a Ban
gor gentleman. do you favor CONSOLE
dationr' He said "no. oppose, but il !
lived East I should favor it." This was
his view of il. To our mind we shall
not have road from Rockland 10 Ban
gor in the next 20 years. We certainly
cannot unless we can get state aid To
talk of the Bay and River Railroad be-
ing built without some such help. Rock
