The Portland Press is authority for
the declaration that the Maine Central
is not at all DESTROYS of getting control
of the Washington County railroad
nor has It ever wanted to buy that
road. 1t says for a number of years
periodical reports have been circulated
that the Washington County was on
| the market and that one of the prob
able purchasers would be the Maine
Central The stories that the Wash
| ington County was for sale have
doubtless been true but there has
never been any foundation for the re-
ports that the Maine Central would
| like to get it's control. Had the Maine
| Central wanted this road. it would
have doubtless secured it. But as a
| matter of fact the Maine Central in
stead of wanting it, has not and is not
now in favor of getting it.
