charcoal. Now, there is not the slight

would give one the impression that he
had ever lived upon farm, but his
apparent interest in the outfit from the
rural districts. aroused the reporter s
curiosity, and he asked the other$Qan

ton with the other part of the system.
The financial problem of building this
road has undoubtedly been studied by
the promoters.
There is no Precedent from which the
commissioners can forman opinion, for
there are no lines of electric railway
in this State which like this may be
termed rural lines.
This board approved three such lines
several years ago. The Pcnobscot Cen
trail Railway, from Bangor to Charles
ton, chartered in December. 1896, has
been mostly constructed, but not yet
opened for travel, and cannot as yet
furnish any precedent.

to Stoneham, which was chartered in
1897. was abandoned after a few miles
of the road ~ ncgraded

We have gfveMto it's solution our
best effort and Judgment. The Lcgis-
lature may see fit to solve it by addi-
tional legislation. The board of rail-
road commissioners will carry out to
the best of their ability any policy
which the Legislature in its wisdom
may see fit to adopt.
In this matter we have not lost sight
of the fact thai the proposed electric
railroad from Winthrop and Monmouth
to Sabattus and Lewiston would be to
some extent in competition with the
Maine Central Railroad. Our attention
has been called to a former decision
|of this board denying franchise for
street railroad from Westbrook to.
Gorham, which would parallel the
Portland & Rochester railroad.
In that case there We're six daily
passenger trains each ways .between!
Gorhan and Portland on the Bteam
railroad running in sight of the propoS
cd electric road. and the gross receipt
fer passenger traffic between Gorhakl4,
and Portland were only 81 per trat4,sX
In this case there are only two tT.aif
daily each way between Winthrdn
and Lewiston, and these are througH
trains and run at such times of day
that passengers from Winthrop and
Monmouth have but little time in Lew
iston for business if they desire to re-
turn the same day.
There is already a street railway
from Sabattus to Lewiston. This in
connection with the line from SabattuS
to Monmouth, Winthrop and Augusta
will therefore serve to give the people
along that portion of the line thor
ough route between Lewiston and Au-
guSta.
This Connection with the State capital
may furnish more traffic to the pro-
posed road than at present can be an
ticpated. ~
We have, Therefore, upder all the
circumstances of the case, decided. to
grant this franchise ana we therefore
find that public convenience requires
the building of the proposeaxeieetric
railroad as embraced in theShe tit ion
and articles of association. "a =.
