COLONEL GREEN AND THE RAIL
gs ROAD.
1t is largely due to six weeks of hard
work by Representative Mccullough of
Calais, that the Washington county rail-
road strife has been settled to every
body's satisfaction. Mr.. Mccullough
has finally made an arrangement which
gives the Washington County Railway
Company the great object it had i'll
view, that is the extension of it's char
er and the refusal of a renewal OF the
Shore Line charter controlled by Col.
Green. AT the same time, Mr.. McCul-
Tough has looked after the claims which
Col. Green hss SO stringentiy presented.
By the plan which WAS reported from
the railroad committee today, the one
charter is extended and the other is not,
but Colonel Green is to have the exclu
Sive right for three months to raise the
money to build under the county char
Fer Failing in that he is to have an
equal chance with every body elsa. to
build the road, and if he does not build
It he is to be paid $685. 900 to reimburse
him for the claim he has had to the en-
terprise. Many mem bers who anticipat-
ed fight ON the floor Of the House and
Senate over the matter, have congTatu-
lated Mr.. Mccullough on his success in
bringing about this harmonious arrange
ment, which makes it look as if the
Washington county people might at last
get their railroad.
