General Railroad Law.

This bill has been discussed and comes
up again Wednesday this week. On FRI
day Mr.. Reed of Waldoboro. offered an
amendment that no city or town shall take
stock or loan its credit 10 any railroad
company until certain amount of its
stock. say $40 200. has been actually paid
in and expended in the construction Of
sad road Mr. Porter offered an amend
nent thst cities and towns may take stock
&c, when one half the amount required in
the first section of the bill has been actu-
ally paid in &c, &C. Mr.. Pike in his re-
marks said people wanting TO build rail-
road are required TO have $4,000 per mile
subscribed. It don't require the money
70 be put up. II requires that amount 10 be
subscribed, and then as an earnest that
five per cent shall be paid Of the $4,000.
Another point in the bill as We gather
it from the remarks Of Mr. Pike. Is chat
the minority party in the State is TO have
one of the three railroad commits sioners
contemplated by the act. This is to be
accomplished in this way: No man is
allowed to vote for more than two out OF
the three commissioners. SO that each
party nominating three. each voter Of each
party may have his choice of two of the
three.
These commissioners are TO do just what
the Legislature now does. determine upon
the request for new railroad charters,
transferring this prolific cause for new
Legislation each winter from the Legis-
lation to these commissioners.
