1t was for the completion of the railroad
system Of Maine that two-thirds of these
bonds were issued. Since 1869 the cities
named have aided in the construction of the
Bangor and Piscataquis, Knox and Lincoln
and Portland and Ogdensburg lines, and 10
the extension of the Portland and Rochester
road.
The figures, of course, show the gross debt
of the cities of Maine on railroad account
The value of the security which the cities
hold against that indebtedness does not ap-

rather more than e-third the amount of
municipal aid bonds, for which it is wholly
