To demonstrate the necessity of the
projected construction of the Northern
Maine Seaboard railroad from Lagrange
to some point Oh the Penobscot bay, so
as to have an open seaport for Aroos-
took county, the B. & A. officials have
compiled table OF figures showing the
great increase in the freight shipments
over the road.
In the seven months ending Jan. 81,
1904, and called here the 1904 shipments,
1,121, ss2,33 pounds of freight was car
ried by this road. For the correspond
ing seven months ending Jan. 81, 1908,
the amount was but SOS, 4O7, $40, while
in 1902 it was 9O6, ~, 976; in 1901, 1885,
296, O46; in 1900, 1892, 933, and in 1899
was 433, ST., ia.
The fact that in the past six years
the amount Of freight carried by this
railroad has increased the enormous
amount of 6S8, POS, 221 pounds, nearly
tripled, gives emphasis to the need OF
some place where freight can not only
be brought by vessels but also sent
