To the Editor Of the Press:

To the Editor Of the Press:
notice by proceedings of the Legislature
that some one has introduced an order to in
qure into the expediency of requiring agents
of foreign insurance companies located in
towns where there is a regularly organized fire
department, to pay into the town treasury a
small per centage of their premiums received
fIom risks received from those towns. to be
paid to the officers and men comprising the
tire department.
Heretofore there has been an effort m ade to
tax these agencies for the benefit of the State.
but it has failed. The proposition now made
appears emnently just, and one that should
commend Itself not only to the good Judgment
vi me LEGISLATURE put also to the several lnsnr-
throughout our State. To the firemen arc
they indebted for the saving of very large
amount OF property covered by policies of in
surance; hence it is Just that in some way thew
should IN part contribute for services rendered
and which ottentimes are extremely hazardous
since the Introduction of steam fire engines
IN the large towns and cities, it is necessary for
the authorities to largely increase the expendi-
lure LOT hre apparatus, requiring yearly an in
of department whose labors both of apparatus
ana men are tor the protection of property
covered by insurance Offices, who have not
heretofore contributed anything for their snn-
port. 1t would seem that the small per cent
age proposed to be reserved from premiums
ana PAID to the officers and men CON pr,sing
our several fire companies, while it is but an
act of justice to them, will not be considered a
hardship by those who are called upon to con-
tribute for the support of an institution from
which they derive such great benefits.

The Ii ostOn and Maine Railroad Exten-
PORTLAND Feb. 1, 1871.
Mr.. EDIroR.-I notice our Legislature is
overrun with applications for railway charters.
A railway mania appears to have taken pos
session of cur people, and il it is not checked
the result will be serious loss to our State
There ought to be no objections to granting
charters for opening up sections of the State
where railway facilities do not exist, or to ex.
isting lines for branches; but all charters for
constructing roads parallel with and near
existing lines ought to be refused. The Boston
& Maine applies for charter for line from
South Berwick to Portland. Such road if
constructed would run the whole distance
within two or three miles of the Portland,
Saco & Portsmouth, and in many places would
be crowded on 10 the same road bed. OF course
the Boston & Maine Company have no idea of
constructing such line, but desire charter
for the purpose of driving the Portland, Saco &
Portsmouth into an arrangement for through
business to Boston. But if a charter should
be granted, the towns through which the route
lay would be induced to loan their credits and
enter upon the construction of the road. The
Boston & Maine road would abandon the en-
terprise when they had accomplished their pur-
pose, leaving the road to be dragged through
after many years, when it would 1alf into the
hands of those controlling the other road
The public would be taxed on transportation
for constructing an additional road which is
not needed. The York & Cumberland (uow
Portland & Rochester kairoad) was started
by the Boston & Maine in this way. Citizens of
Maine were enlisted in the enterprise, with the
understanding that they were to be aided by
the Boston & Maine, and were to connect with
that road. The Portland, Saco & Portsmouth
changed its location, and made connection
with the Boston & Maine, the York & Cum.
berland being left on the hands of our citizens,
who lost more than million dollars by the
operation.
This application by the Boston and Maine
for charter to build from South Berwick to
Portland is a repetition OF the same tactics
Another such swindle should not be allowed.
The Boston and Maine and Eastern roads en-
tered into the arrangement with the Portland
Saco aud Portsmouth in defiance of our legis
lature, and the former corporation does not APP
pear at Augusta with clean hands.
There is no instance in the history of rail-
way legislation in this country, where char
ter has been granted for such parallel line as
that now asked for by the Boston and Maine
