The Journal says: When the d.
rectors of the Boston and Maine and
Eastern had decided upon the first lease of
the latter corporation to the former, the
measure was readily approved by the larger
proportion of the stockholders of the res
pective companies. And although there are
at present indications that the lease in its
present form will meet with some opposition
at the stockholders meeting called for
December ., it is quite certain, say the
friends of the lease, that it will be favorably
considered, and unless the courts or legisla-
ture of Maine interfere, be carried into effect.
Owners of Eastern stocks and bonds claim
that the lease will be Of great benefit to their
security, as the saving in operating the two
roads as one will be considerable. and by
means of the union much needed funds can
be secured for the future improvement and
development of the Eastern Railroad.
