Gardiner people say that q report Is
being circulated to the effect that the pro.
posed Kennebec & Franklin or Farmin gton
railroad is to end in two terminal points,
one st Augusta and the other at Gardiner.
Such . report they say has no foundation
in fact. This report hasn't reached this
city a. yet, though some may have thought
that Gardiner would desire branch to the
road. which, according to present indica-
tons, will soon be built from Augusta to
Pennington. GARDENERS interested parties
say they can see Go use in two terminal
points; neither can Augusta; the former
profess to believe Gardiner should be the
terminus from force Of natural circum-
stances. while Augusta people hold the
came belief regarding this city. But fur
thermore. the Gardiner projectors claim
that the Franklin county people regard thst
city o. the natural outlet Of the road and
will co ltribute to have il come there rather
than to any other place on the river. Here
tofore the people of franklin county have
bee considered capable Of doing their
es thinking on such matters. OF
