Railroads and EXPRESSES.

\ hill providing that the Washington
Comfy Railroad GO. shall sell 1000
iieaGc books good for bearer for so
WAS considered, yesterday afternoon.
by the committee on railroads and eX-
presses. The bill which further pro-
Nided that fares should not in general,
tie higher that fare for like distances
on the Maine Central Railroad, Was
accompanied by many petitnons from
prominent citizens of Washington
county and from all over the State and
the Commercial Travellers Association.
Hon. Herbert NJ. Heath. who APP
reared in behalf Of the bill. Withdrew
that section of the bill III regard to To-
cal fares so that the question OF Il ,
cent mileage remained the bone of con-
tcntion.
Mr.. Heath stated that in 1903. after
four and one-half fiscal years of opera
ton, after charging up to operating eX-
pensea what they could. they had Il net
earning capacity of $1O7 900. He said at
the road Was s2,9oOOOO. Then came the
foreclosure proceedings to give the
bondhOlderS a clean title.
Mr.. Heath said that it had practical-
~ been impossible to ascertain how
much money had been put into the
road. This he inferred from the state
ments in court that the sum could not
have been less than Sl.300.000 and not
ever 81 SOC 900. To this he added the
interest for four years bringing up the
actual cash investment to about $1,000
OcO.
He said further that the road was
earning 100000 per year enough to
give ; per cent. upon every dollar Of
investment and accrued interest. Mr..
Heath said that the people of Wash
ington county put III 100000 and gets
back nothing. That New York gentle
men put in S.. 900, 900 and go out of the
transaction with s225O,0 CO in bonds
guaranteed by the Maine Central and
interest thereon at 3l2 per cent.
Nj. Heath argued that the Legisla-
ture has the right and ought to cstab-
lish reasonable rates for freight and
passenger transportation. That ii was
question for the court 10 decide what
is reasonable. He said that , cents per
II lie is the general rate on railroads
Of the state and this road should be no
exception to the general rule.
1.-The patrons OF the Maine Central
system known as the Washington
County road is now being discriminate
Ell against by being obliged to pay "a
cents per mile" Mr.. Heath said fur
Their that should the opponents of the
bill argue that reduction would hurt
the road financially he should with the
consent of the committee. show up the
manner in which the rates are built up
in Maine.
Hon. s. Nj. Carter of Auburn. ap-
rcared as counsel for the opponents OF
the bill.
