board, State House, on the petition of
the Lewiston, Augusta and waterville
Street Railway In which the petitioners
state that they deem the following
changes necessary and expedient and
pray that after notice and hearing un-
der the direction of the board such
changes may be recorded. where the
respective original loactions were re-
CURED by law to be recorded.
The first change is in the original
location of the Augusta, Winthrop g.
Gardiner road on Western avenue in
Augusta. The petitioners represent
that they do not present herewith the
written approval of the said proposed
route and location as to said Western
avenue of the municipal officers of Au-
gusta because the change has actually
been made upon the face of the earth
in accordance with an order adopted by
the municipal officers of the city of
Augusta made Sept. 10, 1912, directing
the said Lewiston, Augusta & Water
Vile Railroad to make such change in
the location of it's track from the north
side of Western avenue to the center
of Western avenue between the points
mentioned under and by Chapter 81 of
! the Public Laws of 1911.
! The second location to be abandoned
is on Rines Hill, so called. in the city
of Augusta. The location to be sub
stituted is as follows: Beginning at a
point in the present. location of the L.,
A. & w. Street Railway on Water street
at the intersection of the northerly line
of Court street with said Water street,
said point being marked station on
the plan accompanying; thence follow
/ ing the course of Water street south
erly parallel with the easterly curb line
of said street 50 feet to station plus
50; thence by curve east having a
radius of $50 feet a distance of IS feet
to station l plus 81; thence by a curve
to the west having a radius of $50 feet
distance of IS feet to station Q plus
/ 52; thence south Is degrees 20 minutes
west; 306 feet to station 8 plus SIS.
| thence by curve to the west having
radius of 80 feet distance of 81
feet to station plus As; thence south
SO degrees 20 minutes west to station
plus 10 and to the intersection of the
south line of Green street extended to
the old location. The above line is the
!
1t now exists on the face of the earth
and the width of SAID location is S feet
on each side OF said center line.
The petitioners state that said
change is rendered necessary on ac-
count of the changes made on Rines
hill partly through the change in cross
ing made by the Maine Central Rail-
road Company and partly by reason of
widening of Water street on Rines hill
by the city of Augusta. They present
also the written approval of the NUM-
cipal officers of the city of Augusta, and
further represent that public con-
venience requires both the foregoing
changes in the construction of its
road. Andrews & Nelson of Augusta
are the attorneys for the petitioners.
