The argument as n whole, however. re-

Witnesses in favor of the stand taken
by the city agreed that the extension
as proposed would iniure the city in MI

on the steamers would have no time to

cars running upon it would offer a con-

The arguments in favor of tho extern
Sions were to the effect that the con-
venicnce of the people who travelled in
Eennebec county demands the extension,
that the extension would not injure the
city in any way. and that if it did provo
slightly annoying to Gardiner people this
unfortunate condition would be slight
when compared with the great con-
venience the addition would be to the vast
number of people VINO come to tn" cotn-
