CONTINUE HEARING
ON LISBON ELECTRIC
LIGHT AND POWER

The continued hearing before the
legal affairs committee Thursday on
the proposition to allow the town OF
Lisbon to manufacture or buy and sell
electric light and power was a lively
one, although in some respects 1t was
a repetition of the one held a week
ago. The main bones Of contention
were TWO amendments, one proposing
that the town should buy the property
of the Lisbon Falls Gas & Electric
Co. at a fair price TO be set by three
appraisers, the other that the town,
after being granted the privilege,
should not enter into competition with
this company until it had gone before
the Pubic Utilities Commission Tor
authorization, as in the case of other
competitive utilities
- The first amendment was presented
by counsel for the existing company.
II had been submitted to many OF
the proponents of the measure anu
agreed to, but this consent was with
drawn by the latter after CONFER
ence with Rep. Albert W. Plummer
of Lisbon, ana L. A. Jack, Esq, coun-
sci for the townspeople, said they
would accept the original bill or moth
ing.
The second amendment. was present
ed by c. L. Andrews Of Augusta, rep
resenting the Maine Electrical Asso-
citation. who said it was on general
principles only, as the association had
no interest in this particular quarrel.
He thought the Legislature should not
grant to a town the privilege TO enter
into competition in public utilities
without going before the COMMISSION
and showing cause, as IN the case OF
all privaee utilities companies. MI.
Jack insisted that the town Would
have to do this anyway under the eA-
listing law, and refused TO accept the
amendment Other lawyers expressed
a doubt as to whether or not Ii the
LEGISLATURE passed such an act WITH
ont reference to the Public Utilities
Commission the utilities law would not
be amended SO far as that particular
instance was concerned.
Residents of the town rehearseo
their grievances, but admitted the!
had not brought these before the pub
lie utilities Commission. Lisbon peo-
rle who spoke were Samuel sylvester
G. r. Mann, Selectman A. Q. White
Fred K. Small and c. A. Jordan
Judge n. E Colidge Of Lisbon Falls
and Harry L. Cram Of Portland repre-
scented the existing company, Anc
Judge W. Fl. Newell of Lewiston also
appeared in opposition.

time to see their families. They work.
ed l. hours for ten hours pay at pres
ent he said. but were paid overtime
for all over u hours.

petition signed by IS Maine Central
employees. Arguments for the bill
were made by Nead Tolier, a firm
tender at the Waterville engine house,
BARLEY Riley, freight house foreman
for the Portland Terminal Co and
Rep. Welch Of East Machias. Mr..
Riley said the Maine Central had re-
fused 10 grant nine hour day. Rep.
Gerrish of Greenville. &. & A. station
agent there. said he didn't think the
bill would help telegraphers and sta
ton agents because it would cut down
their pay.
s. T. kimball. opposed the bill for
the Maine Central, Z. ". Wheeler Of
Brunswick for the Boston &, Maine,
and Joseph F. Gould and general man.
ager, J. E. Stewart for the Bangor &
Aroostook, They argued that il would
increase the expenses of the railroads
and that they were unable to stand
such increases at present. Mr.. Stew
art said the 3. & A. would only pay its
men i IL cents an hour for nine
hours if the bill became a law and
that ii would reduce the salaries of
the men. The road was losing money
now, he said, but had agreed with it's
men to increase their pay as soon as
conditions improved TO such an extent
that an increase waas possible.
