PLAN
OF BOSTON 6 MAINE,
Opposition to Reorganization Bill Ex-
 pressed at Hearing.

Boston. Jan. 29.--Opposition to the bill for the reorganization of the Bos- ton & Maine railroad was voiced by several at the continuation today of the hearing before the legislative com mittee on railroads The bill, which was drafted by the Federal trustees of the road. provides for a merger of all the leased lines composing the sys- tenn.
 Junius T. Auerbach. a lawyer of Boston, criticised the bill on the ground that it gave unusual power to the trustees and to the Public Service commission.
 Opposition by Joseph Walker, ol Brookline, who was the progressive candidate for governor at the last eIec- tion, was based on his belief that by the passage of the bill the state would lose control of the railroad situation. He suggested, in tn event of a fa- vOrabIe report the measure, tae rn- corporation of 8 provision prohibiting savings banks from investing In the roads securities.
 F. T. Fuller of Boston, and C. w Crocker, of Reading, also spoke in op- position, MT. Fuller claiming that the bill was too drastic.
