DECISION RESERVED.
Hearing on l., A. & w. Petition for
Feed Wire in Manchester.

The hearing on the petition Of the
Lewiston, Augusta & Waterville
Street Railway Co, who petiti0ned the
town of Manchester for the privilege
Of running a feed wire for the purpose
of transmitting power through that
town. was held Wednesday, afternoon
in the Town hall at Manchester before
the board Of selectmen. The matter
was contested by the citizens of the
town, represented by Fred Emery
Became, Hallowell. and Frank l.. Dut-
ton. Augusta After listening to both
sides of the matter the selec.men re-
served their decision. II. NJ Heath
Augusta, appeared for the petition
crs.
The story of the petition in a nut
shell is as follows: The Electric Rail
way people petitioned the selectmen OF
Manchester to allow them to run a
feed wire for the purpose Of transmit
ting power from the Manchester line
at the Winthrop road out to Manchcs-
ter Forks and from there due east to
the shores Of Lake Cobbosscncont,r
and the Manchester south line.
This was part of program to take
power from the Winslow dam and
transmit it over the entire line of the
Lewiston. Augusta & Waterv:lle
Street Railway Co. to SabattuS II was
proposed to strike across country for
the Sidney line through Ward 5.
through Manchester and West Gardi-
ner. In connection with taking the
power from the Winslow dam the
company proposes to build large
power house at I!alloWcll that VIII
produce as much electricity rs tho
water power 1T the WinsloW dam.
Should it b. necessary to u" he
steam plant at Hallowell power would
DE transmitted over the feed lin" from
UaIloweu to Manchester Forks.
The opposition to tn" proposed plan
was that the people did not want au-
other set of poles. II telephone line al
ready existing, as they claim that II
disiigures the adjoining property. and
also claimed that the high voltage
wires were dangerous.
The railway people asked the priv
ilege OF using the highway for tins
poles and three wires and stated that
they would be willing to set said poles
outside the highway wherever there
| was liability of danger from the wire'
to the public or abut,ing owners.
