EASTERN AND MAINE CENTRAL
RAILROAD

A pertinent question at the pre- eat time ii, Is the
Maine Central railroad to share the fate of the
Eas ern;
1t is well kno gn that the present managers Of
the Eastern Railroad control the Maine Central
and dictate its management Tuey took charge
of the Ea, tern with its stock at l24, now it Is
selling at q l2 with its seven per cent bonds at
| TO- What will the Maine Central reach under
the same management, compared with the Eastern
as 50 to 1902 These parties found the Maine Cen
trail under judicous management, increasing its
earnings from month to month, and its road and
equipment in first class condition. They pro-
posed change in management, asserting that
the road was not properly managed, and that
they won Id show the people Of Maine how to run
a railroad. Acting on this policy they selected
their men. saying 10 the old managers you are not
the men to run a first class railroad.
| Who are the men who are thus ignored in the
coancils and mana cement of the Maine Central
Hon. Abner Coburn Of Skowhegan, Hon. Arson
P. Morrill, OF Readfeld, Hon. John B. Brown, II
n. Jose, Esq, and Lewis Pierce Esq. of Portland,
Hon. r. D. Rice and Darius Alden, Esq. of Au-
gusta, Geo. NJ. Patten Esq. Of d ltb. and Lysander
Strickland, Esq OF Bangor.
The Maine gentlemen who remain in the board
arc in a minority, and OF course poweriess. A
comparison Of the present with the past is Lot to
say the least, very pleasing or encouraging to the
stockholders, the public. 1t is to be hoped that
some method may be devised to restore the Maine
Central to the hands of its old managers, and thus
reinstate it in the confidence Of the public. What
the public desire is Independent management with
free, urrestrainea access to all connecting lines.
