Nearly all students Of municipal re-
form favor the concentration OF authority
In the Mayor. The reason IL obvious;
the public cannot discriminate between
one official and another; they can only
reash a conclusion az to the character OF
their city governments as whole, ann
give expression to it By their attitude
toward the Mayor. The charter revision
commission is reported TO have taken
this view when considering the police
and several other departments; single
commissioners instead OF boards would
concentrate the responsibility, nrst upon
the commissioner, and then upon tine
Mayor who appointed him. AMI TO whom
it is understood that the power OF re-
moving him at any time Will be given
II the legislature adopts the recommen-
dations OF the commissioners. This rower
OF removal at any time. instead OF dur
ing the first six months only, is essen
tial to the Mayors responsibility. The
Mayor cannot be held Responsible for an
official whom he cannot get rid OF, and
the pablo cannot get at an official who
is an aprointee of the Mayor.

RAILROAD BUILDING.
The Question ofths Electric Read
From Portland 20 saeo.

John W. Deering has advertised his
sion of the Legislature for a charter to
build road to be operated by electricity
or by compressed air from Portland to
Saoo and Old Orchard. Perm ission will
be asked to locats ths road on Centre
street, up Danforth street and thus
across VauRhan's bridge into South
Portland and out the Saoo road.
1t will be remembered that year ago
or more the Portland Railroad company
applied for permission to build a road to
be operated by electricity from the end
OF their Cape Elizabeth system GUS the
Saco road to that city and also to Old
Orchard, This petition of the Portland
railroad was opposed by the Boston &
Maine railroad, and the railroad COM
luissioners refused to grant the location
asked for after several hearings. The
Portland railroad at once took an appeal
from this decision of the railroad CON-
mfssioners and carried the matter to the
supreme court under the law providing
for such an appeal which was passed by
the legislature OF 1897. Here the matter
rests at present, the Supreme court not
having rendered a decision on this case.
This appeal of the Portland railroad
relating to the Saco extension and also
the appeal relating Co the Gorham extern
sion, are In the court, the bench being
divided, so IL Is understood, on the ques-
ion arising from the act Of 1897 as to
whether IL il a judicial duty for them to
serve as referees in these appeal cases as
the law provides.
Saturday night Mr.. Desring was ssen
by a PRESS reporter and asked about
the proposed road. He had little to say
about the matter beyond what is given
in his notice as to thu proposed petition
for a charter, He said that the stock
holders were nearly all Portland and Bid
deford men. The corporation, which is
to be organized soon, has not yet selected
Its officers. MIR. Edward III. Rand, the
attorney, has the matter In charge.
1t was surmised that this proposed road
to Saoo from Centre street In Portland,
might nave some connection with the
Portland and Yarmouth electric road
and might be one link In the much
talked OF sen board electric road from
Bath to Boston.
With this petition for a charter to build
a road 60 $500 and the other railroad
the legislature there seems promise OF q
lively time for. the railroad committee
OF the next legislature.

STRANDED sEAMEN.

New York, December 2.-Ths steamer
Oilers, Capt. Braithwaite, which arrived
this morning from Brazilian ports. via
st. Lucia, brought Capt. Haakonson and
IA seamen of the Norwegian bark Bolivia.
which was abandoned at seas In water
logged condition, November 20. The
Bolivian left Darien November 20 and
sailed from Sapelo on the s3d for Hull.
On the Goth the vessel ran into gale
lasting 4S hours. The vessel labored and
strained badly, causing her to spring a
had leak. Heavy seas also boarded the
vessel and when the storm subsidized she
was water-logged. All hands were kept
at the pumps, but in spite OF their
efforts the water steadily poured into
her from the bows and stern where her
seams opened. On the 29th the steamer
Oilers was observed bearing down. She
stood by while the crew abandoned the
bark and took all hands safely on board.
The Bolivia was then seen to be fast set
thing in the water. She was an old
vessel, built In Nova Scotia In 1873. She
registered sSs tons and was owned at
Jonesherg.
