The Machias Union has this emphatic
reference 20 the Shore Line railroad scheme:
II is reported that eight engineers are to work

tai and do not care If only the road is built. 1t
is TO be sincerely hoped that the fiascO Of two
years ago at Machias will not occur In the
NarTaguagus valley or near the shores Of de-
ightful Frenchman's Bay. Too much survey
ing and engineering and two little building
seems TO be the sickness of the Shore Line.
