Nov - 70 the changing Of The con-
Meeting point Of the steamer J. r. Aofss.
As il IL now, The morse connscts with the
Boston steamer ct Rockland. They leave
Rockiand 1t about the same time. BY the
time tho Boston steamer arrives 1t Belfast
the Morse l. half ~sy to BAr hsrbor. II

length she would have to wait st Belfast
until The Boston steamer arrived there,
whereas, II abe had good straight run to
Rocklsnd, - abe dos now, she would be
taking on freight for BAr Harbor division
points ali The time the Boston steamer
was going up 70 Belfast.
Take the down trip. The Boston steam
er leaves Bangor and eoes down to Belfast,
touching there and then proceeding TO
RockiAnd where she meets the Morse.
They arrive there about the same time.
II the rumoscd change 10 made, and the
Morse meets the Boston steamer ct Bel
fast, the latter will have TO wait there
until the Aorss arrives This would, you
can easily -. b. great loss Of time, for
al present the two steamers are approach
ing Rockiand at tbs same timr, and neither
ioses any valuable minutes.
.'Of course, II tho schedule were changed
about, part Of the abcvc difficulties could
be eliminated; but they would Be elimi-
mated 1t the sxpsnss Of tbs present desir-
able and accommodating time table. Bangor
would suffer-. for the hours OF arriving and
leaving would b Of necessity much iess
convenient And the Bar Harbor patrons
would also Be inconvenienced. do not
relieve thst such change will b made. :"
