NEWS AND GOSSIP FROM ALL OVER THE STATE
THE RAILROAD ALLIANCE.

with the directors of the Eastern and Boston
n Maine in order to secure IAN equitable triple
alliance" of the roads. The subcommittee by
L vote of eight TO three suggested to the Eastern
and Boston x Maine that if the proposed lease
was carried into effect the Maine Central should
be a party to it and be guaranteed a proper
representation on the board of directors of the
consolidation. The Eastern 4 Boston and
Maine folks in reply say that consolidation of
these roads is desirable and "likely TO come in
the near future but that the consent of the
Maine x New Hampshire legislatures may
first be requred-and they cannot be blind to
the difficulties they are likely to encounter in
lobbying their business through these unwilling
legislatures. The Boston 4 Maine folks say
that in tn proposed lease of the Eastern the
interests of Maine Central will be cared for
and that they are willing further to guarantee
that the Maine Central shall be party to the
lease to the extent of its interest and its protec
lion. that the consent of seyen-eighths of the
whole stock of Maine Central, shall be neces-
>ary to effect any change il the traffic relations
of the Maine Central to the Eastern Boston
and Maine and 'that during the lease no dis
elimination in business or rates shall be made
against the Maine Central. and the expenses of
collecting and obtaining through business from
points beyond or off the line of the respective
parties proportionally to the benefits derived
therefrom." The probability is that the Maine
Contra. stockholders will to-day accept these
terms. and that the Boston aed Maine stock
holders IN due season will ratify them. And
mus every lnlng Is Pheasant ana the goose hangs
high. Lewiston journal.
