say that vessels will not 60 to Wscasset

get load out, or rather they will not
do 50 for a price which will reduce

ers can load both ways all right. If the
track could hit the Somerset it would be
IA great thing for us for we could put
our paving blocks on board the vessels
as eheaply as some of the concerns on
the coast, which have to haul theirs
from one to three miles by team. Ion
see we load ours practically in the quar-
ry, and the difference in the haul to tide
water if this road was built to Oakland,
would make great difference in the
freight rate. We would send thousands
of tons down in course of a season.
