| bill. Thinks there is no other set of men in
Maine, except railroad men, who have be-
come bold by their operations, who would ask
for such bill. There has been but one SOL
itary petition in favor Of consolidation. Ban
gor, Lewiston, Portland and other cities nave
taken action against it. 1t was SAID oe1ore
the committee that railroads never compete
for business. but il is not so. The Portland
& Kennebec and the Maine Central competed
for the Belfast road and the Somerset road.
| Referred TO the Leeds and Pennington road,
and the action of the Maine Central Company.
The moment consolidation bill is passed the
news will go all over the country and the
shares will 90 up. These shares have been
bought for from SO to So per share, and the
original stockholders have lost their money.
Hopes the bill will be buried SO deep that it
never will come up again before this legls-
lature.
