Shore Line Railroad,

AT meeting of the Directors OF the
Shore Line Railroad Company held on the
22d, it was voted unanimously-there
being no hope of this city taking any
action TO aid the road-to make Bucksport
the Penobscot terminus OF the line. A
vote was also unanimously adopted to
petition the Legislature for a railroad
bridge acress the Penobscot at Bucksport
The leading men of Bucksport were pres

will soon be held there to vote aid TO the
road TO the extent of five per cent. of the
town valuation. All the towns on the line

take the required action-of which there
is little doubt-the construction of the road
will be Immediately put under contract.
The Calais Times is enthusiastic over the
matter and says
