On Monday the Boston gentlemen
whom MIR. Halman has succeeded in
interesting in the proposed electric
railroad from Ellsworth to Castine,
will come to Ellsworth. There is no
need to urge our people to treat them
hospitably-they could not do other
wise. But they should do more than
that. The visitors should be given the
freedom of the city, and the oppor
tunity to use it; they should be shown
our water powers, developed and I'M
developed; they should have placed
at their disposal all desired informa-
ton as to the resources of the city,
the population, summer and winter,
of the towns which the road would
reach directly or Indirectly, and above
all, they should be made to feel that
their interest in the electric road is
Ellsworth's interest-in short, that we
want the road, and are ready to do all
in our power to secure it.
