Railroad. asking the approval by the
board of the location of proposed
branch railroad track extending from
the companys main line in the town
of Phillips. Franklin county. to the
mill of the Custer Manufacturing Co.

the decision by the commissioners is
as follows:
eve hereby decree that said branch
track may be constructed and main
tanned as provided in said petition, and
that public convenience requires the
same. We also hereby allow the eros
sing of said highway, as prayed for
in said petition, to be made at grade.
"The approaches on said highway,
on each side of said railroad within
the limits of the right of way Of said
railroad company, shall be upon a
grade not exceeding five per cent.
'"The work shall be done by said rail-
road company and the said crossing
shall hereafter be maintained by said
company at it's expense, all in such
manner as to be safe and convenient
for all travellers on said way. Suitable
provision shall be made for surface
drainage"

ton of the Bridgton and Saco River
Railroad Co. and asks the approval by
the commissioners of the location of
