Al he last meeting of the Maine Central drec
t..s, held in Portland. proposition was received
I om the European and North American Railway
60. for a change of gauge, from broad to narrow
that is tracks may correspond TO the American
,,>tem. 1t is understood that private parties will
furnish the sum of $50 900, for this purpose. and
ii The connecting roals. the Maine Central, Eas-
tern, and Boston and Maine, will provide some
further assistance the American directors will
caange the track to the narrow gauge between
Blngor and Vanceboro', and the English directors
ma, portion between Vanceboro' and st. John.
The Maine Central directors have the
matter un der consideration. The change
of gauge win he accomplished by the first
Of August surely, perhaps much sooner The
whole work, as in the case of the Grand Trunk
will be accomplished in a single day. This COM
ing down from the old brosl gauge of the Euro
pean road to the present broad gauge of the Maine
Central, is a recognition of the necessity of furth
er economy in the running of railroad trains. The
next step will be to come down to the three foot
gauge, chespening the cost Of running trains one
third Instead of pushing heavy locomotives,
weighing sixty tons each, wearing out the road,
aud rendering insecure the bridges the narrow
gauge locomotives, weighing but eighteen or
nineteen tons, capable of doing more work
st infinitely less expense. The three feet gauge
is destined to be the popular gauge of the future.
