ALLEGED POOR SERVICE
VINAL. & ROCK. sim. co.

A complaint against the NinalhaVen
& Roclland Steamboat Co, alleging
unsatisfactory service. was filed at the
office of the Public Utilities Commits
sion Wednesday by Is citizens Of North
Haven and notice has been served on
the steamboat company according to
law.
The complaint alleges that the SER
vice rendered by the steamboat COM
pany between North Haven and the
city of Rockland is unreasonable, in
sufficient and unjustly discriminatory
and inadequate and that the people of
North Haven cannot obtain from the
company satisfactory service that the
steamer Vinalhaven used by the COM
pany on the route between North Hav-
en- and Rockland Is not of suitable size
for efficient winter service between
these ports.
The compliments also claim that
the arrival and departure Of the Vinal
haven is unnecessarily uncertain and
irregular so that the delivery Of the
United States mail is delayed and when
the steamer Bodwell of the Vfnalhaven
e. Rockland Steamboat Co. is disabled,
the steamer NlndlHdteH COVciS lIlc ell
tire route usually covered by the two
boats, which so curtails the service be-
tween North Haven and Rockland that
business and passenger traffic between
North Haven and Rockland suffer to
great degree and the time Of departure
from Rockland is so short that a per-
son cannot go from North Haven to
that city for a little time to transact
any business which he may desire.
In closing their petition the com
plainants say:
wherefore. the compliments pray
that the aforesaid respondent be re-
uuired to answer the charges herein
and that after due hearing and investi-
CATION an order be made commanding
said respondent to cease and desist
from said violations Of the acts re-
ferred to in said petition, and for such
other and further order as the COM
mission may deem necessary and just
in the premises"
The complaint is signed by the fol-
lowing residents Of North Haven: Leon
