way to know, says that it is undoubtedly the
policy of the Maine Central directors living out
of the state to make their administration popu-
lar by reducing the tariffs in the hope of in
creasing the business. He fears that this may
be done even to the detriment of the track and
equipment of the road.
The statement that Pullman parlor cars are
to be run Immediately over the Maine Central,
is without foundation. These cars were dis
continued by vote of the directors and can
only be replaced by another vote. Those who
have the most experience in connection
with the road, are opposed to the use of such
cars on the ground that they can .only be run
at great pecuniary loss and damage to the
track
