The condition of the various railroads
Of the State will fully appear in the able
and exhaustive report of the Railroad
commissioners The statistics and re.
which it contains are
worthy Of your thoughtful attention. Con-
siderable has been done during the year in
the construction of new roads and the
Improvement of old ones. The State is
now fairly supplied with railroad communi
cation.
There Is, nevertheless. field for further
enterprise in this direction. Nowhere is
this more apparent than in the great fertile
county of AroOstook, whose varied pro-
ducts are now forced 10 seek market

Maine territory, affording Aroostook a
convenient outlet to the great markets Of
the country, would give mighty impulse
to the development of the county and
