Bangor Bridge.

The hearing ON the Bangor an! Brewer
toll bridge was continued before the
judiciary committee, Friday afternoon.
Attorney Hutchins argued that the prop
crty of this corporation would revert to
.ho State when it's charter to run II toll
bridge expires. Gen. Mitchell appeared
for the city of Bangor asking for free
bridge and demonstrating against any
extension OF the bridge company S right to
take tolls County Commissioner Wood
asked the committee to not vote DOWN
all the PROPOSITIONS rs in that ease the
county would have to bear the expense OF
taking the bridge and laying out high
way over it and its approaches. Hon =.
+. Littlefcld made a strong argument
for the corporation. He contended that
there were two franchises granted by the
State to the bridge corporation, one the
right to acquire this property and the
other to take tolls of persons using it;
that expiration Of its right to take toils'
in no way effects it's franchise to own TINS
property. He made exhaustive citations
of decisions in support of his position.
