Immediately after the adjournment
OF the morning session the committee
on railroads met in its room to con-
unuc its hearing of Wednesday after
noon on the extension of the Portland
Railroads lines to Gorham and to
Saco- There was a large attendance to
hear the arguments Of the eminent
counsel. Judge Symonds, representing
the Boston x Maine. opposed the
granting of the authority to make the
proposed extension, partly on the
ground that it would parallel an exist
ing line but mainly because the grant
ing Of such charters is unconstitutional
and the matter should be settled in the
courts. Hon. G. f. Libby for the Port
land Company made the closing argu-
ment for his side, summing up the
abundant testimony of Wednes1 lay
afternoon as to the public need of the
extension and making an appeal full of
eioquence and wit.
