Declares Mileage Change Within Jurisdic=
ton of Interstate Commerce and
Should Not Wait for the
Utilities Commission
INCREASED COST OF
OPERATION MAKES The
new RATES NECESSARY

President Mcdonald of the Maine
Central r. r. Co, has answered the
letter of Governor Haines, declaring
that the road is ready for and would
welcome the fullest investigation of
its affairs: that the mileage change
is within the Jurisdiction of the Inter
state Commerce Commission, and that
the act was necessary to the roads
maintenance of its financial position.
Following Mr.. McDonald's letter is
given the last monthly statement of
the roads operations covering eight
months, and, following that long de-
tailed explanation and declaration by
the roads attorney, Hon. Seth NJ. Car
ter. In this statement ii is declared
that increased cost of operation neces-
states an increase in rates. 1t deals
lengthily with the relation of the mile
age book to revenue and with tho
impracticabllity of reducing expenses.

Honorable William T. Haines,
Governor,
Augusta, Maine.
Dear Sir:
I am in receipt of your letter of
yesterday in relation to change of
mileage rate on Maine Central Rail-
road.
note your suggestion that the Pub
lie Utilities Law passed by the last
Legislature viii be voted upon by the
people in September, and your belief
that the law will be accepted by them.
But as I understand the matter if it
were so accepted we could hardly ex-
pect the Commission TO be organized
and ready to take up matters for &C.
ton before the very last days of the
year.
I note also your further suggestion
that even If the present law is re-
jected by the people the coming Legis-
lature will undoubtedly pass some such
law, but any action to be hoped for

Built in Secrecy

The Defiance S being built under
the roof of the big ship shed, the
sides of which are all boarded in, with
windows high above the gaze of pub
lie eyes. AS one enters and obtains
for the first time glance of the Won
derful marine structure the sight is
peculiar. Far above ones head he
may see the steel frames and a long,
shallow overhang while farther down
is to be seen the massive lead kee
with what appears to be wooden
end. The \ lew is mystifying, all oaus-
ed by the fact that the Defiance is to
be launched bow foremost, which in
itself is a novelty, and what one first
gazes upon is a stern view of her.
What appears to be the wooden tip of
the keel is in reality the rudder of teak
wood.
Bowl First Launching
Launching bow foremost is some
thing of a novelty for yachting craft
and in fact, is seldom Witnessed IN the
construction of merchant vessels in
this city. 1t is a hobby, however,
with the designer, George Owen, who
has had other racing yachts built upon
the ways to laanch DOW foremost anu
they have proved successful racers
too. At any rate there is the added
advantage that the possibility of harm
to the rudder when she slides down
the ways to enter the water is lessen
ed. The Defiance will be launched in
her cradle, which will be pushed to
the waters edge the day before the
great event is to take place, and the

Mr.. Rea declared that present rates

that unless the downward trend were
