Mr.. DAVIS moved to reconsider the vote
whereby the Senate passed to be engrossed
the act in relation to the establishment of the
Portland, Saco and Portsmouth Railroad Co.
He made this motion because he had voted
for the bill under a Misrepresentation.
Mr.. BUTLER opposed the motion. The
whole opposition to this bill is melted by the
Boston and Maine Railroad Co., the manag-
ing director of which, this very morning, had
attacked and threatened him. The question
is whether you will give the same terminal
facilities to the p, s. and p. road, as are OK
| tended to the Boston and Maine road in Port
land.
Mr.. BuRaEss did not stand here as the rep
resentative of any railroad, but in the interests
of the city Of Portland. The motion to re-
| consider was made at his request, 80 that he
could offer the following amendment, which
| he believed would afford better protection to
| the safety of travel in the streets of Portland
than is provided for in the bill:
Amend by adding to section l., the follow
| ing: "And it is further provided that said
railroad shall not pass along or cross any
street in said city without the consent of the
city council, but this provision shall not ap-
ply to any tracks now authorized by law"

Ter, Burgess and Hadlock.
