Last month the town OF Goulds boro
voted not to build carriage road from
West Gouids boro, running north to con-
meet with the Washington county rail-
road, a distance of four miles, but some Of
the influential citizens now say they will
go ahead and build the road by private
su Inscription. 1t is believed that John G.
Moore, and perhaps other capitalists,
VIII construct an electric road through
Goulds boro to Winter Harbor, connecting
with the Washington county railroad at
point near Tunk pond. Now that Mr..
Moore has come into possession of all the
property of the Gou boro land com
pany at Winter Harbor. it is expected
that he will do everything necessary to
improve the property, and put it in closer
connection with the outside world.
People in Winter Harbor say that they
will not be surprised to see the eectrics
running over the proposed route before
he end OF another year.

An interesting rumor is revived by the
statement that the Castine Railway and
Navigation Co. will apply to the next
legislature for a renewal OF its charter and
for right to build bridge across the
Union river to Ellsworth, and to connect
with the Washington county railroad.
In this connection it may be we'll to quote
the statement credited to one OF the
officials of the Washington county road
that it would be a matter of only q few
years when the Washington county road
will be extended across Hancock county
and through the southern part of the
State to a connection with the Grand
Trunk at Lewiston, thus making it part
of that great system and affording 1t the
long-desired outlet to the eastern prov
inces.
