WATERVILlE.
The CONTRACT SIGNED
And Men Will Be Here Soon in Regard TO the
Railroads Location.

Judge W. c. Philbrook returned from
New York, Saturday, having with him
signed contract for the kennebec Con-
structien Co. to build the Waterville &
Niscasset railroad. The contract is to
be presented to the directors of the road
at meeting. this evening.
Judge Philhrook in speaking of the trim
10 New York, said that ne had not the
slightest difficulty in coming to terms
with the members of the company and
that they had stood by the original offer
to do the work as outlined in the draf,
OF the contract presented at the meeting
of the directors a short time ago.
AS yet 1t is not settled when the Ken
nebec Construction Co. will begin work
on the road. Members of the company
are to come here from New York. some
time during the coming week and will
then decide on the exact location of the
road.
Some of the officers of the company IN
speaking of the location said that the
road will probably cross the Kennebec
below the Messalonskee and run along
the southwest bank of the stream SO as
to connect with the Pennington road in
case ii is extended in this direction. as
now seems probable
In that case the stream will be bridged
near Its mouth and a spur track run into
the Lockwood mills yard. The greater
part OF the freight business will be car
rled on IN that part of the city, since the
freight station will be in that locality.
The officers of the Construction Co. will
come TO this city. some time next week.
probably. and then it will be decided
where the road is to be located AS ver
1t is not definitely decided where the road
IS TO be located, although 1t is understood
that the officers of the Construction Co.
have practically agreed on the location
mentioned
1t is not yet certain when work will be
commenced on the road. The constrnc-
ton Co. agrees by signing to contract 20
commence work within % days from tha
time the contract is signed As vet the
location for the road has not been fi,aa
nor the land damages adjusted. The In
cation of the road will not be filed until
after the officers of the Construction Ga
have looked over the ground. The sur
veys have already been made and Tho
data obtained so that when the Construc
uon Co mas decided where it wishes the.
: oau 10 De, "ork VIII De commenced to
make the location which is to be filed.
As all the data Is ready. the making nm
of the location will occupy but a com
paratiyely short time.
1t Is thought that there will noe be the
slightest trouble about building the
bridges this winter. as the piers can be
built this winter and the bridges put in. |
II is source of regret to the company
that work was not begun on the bridges |
during the summer. for the reason that
the river was then 80 low but slight aitii- !
