New STATE Debt-Fer Nhate
For two or three years past we have had
not little of controversy about railroad
line through Aroostook county. The ques-
ton seeming to be whether it should pass
through Houton and the other settled and
fertile towns on the east side Of the county
or through long tract OF unsettled timber
land further to the west. This has appeared
to be merely a local controversy between diff
ferent parts of that county-their senatorial
election being determined by it two years ago.
But now, the championship of the western
side of this question appears to be taken up
by new patty-though perhaps covertly in
the field before. The European and North
American Railroad Company-the most heav-
lily subsidized corporation in Maine is an ac
tual petitioner before the legislature fcra char
ter for an Aroostook railroad, to be tributary
to its own line, and evidently favoring the
western route among the timber townships,
and actually asking if newspaper reports
from Augusta can be relied on-that the
State will grant two millions of dollars to en-
able it to build this line! 1t is reported that
Mr.. G.. K. Jewett the President OF the Euro
peon and North American Company has ap-
peared before the Railroad Committee and
advocated such a grant for that purpose.
This is pretty strong. Nobody has ever
heard that any stockholders of this company
ever put any considerable amount of their own
money into the enterprise. They have had
large loans in aid from Bangor, and have just
| received as free gift from Massachusetts and
Maine six hundred and seventy-eight thous-
and dollars derived from the United States,
as interest on the old war claims.
They have also had, and now hold grant
from this State of about all the timber lands
that we had left when this grant was made.
Their present position and petition appears
to be, that they now want the State to build
them railroad TO those timber lands at a
cost TO the State of two millions of dollars
all to be owned by the stockholders p of the
European and North American Railway Com
pany when done!
Is not that about the state of the case? A
word to the wise is sufficient QUoD.
