TO PAY OR NOT TO PAL.
Citizens Wonder While the City Fathers
Are in Doubt.

10 pay or not to pay still seems
to be question with the city fathers
in regard to the city's subscription to
the narrow Suage road and the sub
ject is one of great interest in the city
at present. Considerable surprise has
been manifested because no action was
taken at the meeting after City So
licitor Foster had made his report that
it was his opinion that the city was
surely liable. No one doubts that the
little road will be a great benefit to the
city and few now doubt that the city
is legally held to its agreement. and
under these conditions the majority
seem to think that there is no course
open to the city but to pay. however
inconvenient or difficult it may be at
the present time.
Said prominent lawyer in the city:
IF | was managing the affairs of the
railroad should bring suit at once
for the money. but l sincerely hope
that this will not be done, as the city
has certainly had enough of litigation.
It is understood that the subscription
or that part still unpaid is in uncollect-
ed taxes, and those who are in favor
of paying would like to see the city
go ahead and collect the taxes and pay
the subscription.
According to Mr.. Fosters opinion.
the only possible chance for an ar
sunlent is in the action taken at the
meeting of the stockholders when the
matter of the consolidation of The roads
WAS under discussion. Just what hap
pened is wholly matter of recollec-
ton among these who were present.
rs no record of the point in dispute
was made There arc sorae differences
in the recoliections. so that an abso-
lutely correct version of the affair is
difficult tc get at now. But Mr. Fos-
ter says this is matter on which
Daily Kennebec journal., 1902-08-09

lawyers may differ and which the court
would have to decide. w. I. Haines
has called it personal affair and one
that is not material. Neither seem
to think that it would be good grounds
for il defence for the city in not paying
the money.
Mr.. Foster. after going over the
ground, carefully from the start, found
that every step had been properly
taken and was legal up to the time
of the meeting already mentioned. 1t
is understood also that II. M. Heath,
the attorney for the railroad, has eX-
pressed the opinion that the city VIII
nave TO pay and. that he is perfectly
willing to take the case into court if
necessary.
Mr.. Haines stated in his speech at
the city government meeting that the
attitude of the city up to the present
time made one of the hardest obstacles
for President Atwood Of the road to
contend with. One of the first qucS-
rions asked him, said Mr.. Haines, when
he attempted to sell the bonds, was
how Waterville felt toward the road.
Waterville is the largest place reached
by the little road and its attitude
toward it is of course important. If
Mr.. Atwood is obliged, therefore, to
say that the city is unwilling to pay
its subscription, it puts damper on
the whole thing.

ITO MY PEOPLE,"
King Edward Sends Them a
Heartfelt Message.
Appreciation of the Sympathy Shown
During His Severe Illness.
Deepest Gratitude to Divine Providence
for His Life.

London, Aug. S.-The following mes
sage from King Edward to his people
was made public, Thursday night.
ITO my people: On the eve of my
coronation, an event which | look upon
as one Of the most solemn and impor-
tant of my life, am anxious to express
to my people at home and in the colo
nies and India, my heartfelt apprecia
ton of the deep sympathy they have
manifested toward me during a time in
my life of such imminent danger.
THE postponement of the coronation
ceremony, owing to my illness, has
caused. L fear, much inconvenience and
trouble to all who intended to celebrate
it. But their disappointment has been
borne by them with admirable patience
and temper.
THE prayers of my people for my
recovery were heard and / now offer
up my deepest gratitude to Divine
Providence for having preserved my
life and given me strength to fulfil the
important duties which devolve upon
me as sovereign of this great empire.
(SignedD EDWARD r. & /.
buckingham Palace, Aug. s."
King Edwards proclamation is per-
soEal and spontaneous expression of
His Majesty's feelings. 1t was con-
ceived and written by himself in an au-
tograph letter to the home secretary,
G. T. Ritchie. In addressing this COM
munication to the home secretary, the
King is following the traditions OBJ
served by the late Queen Victoria,
when she addressed personal messages
% the nation.
King Edward did not drive out Thurs
day. A large crowd had gathered out
side buckingham palace in expectation
of Their Majesties taking a drive, and
the King, who was lunching in one of
the front rooms of the building, came
to window in full view of the people,
who cheered him enthusiastically. The
King bowed his acknowledgements.
An official bulletin issued, Thursday,
says:
King Edward bore the journey to
London, Wednesday, without the least
fatigue. His Majesty had a good night
and is in excellent health. The wound
practically is healed. A bulletin will
be issued on Sunday next. Sundays s
bulletin will be the last and it will be
issued only with the object of placing
on record how the King bore the coro-
nation ceremony.
