A Maine Central Branch.
| Rep. Wilson of Portland-An Act to
authorize the Maine Central Railroad
company to build a branch line OF rail-
road from Bancroft to the Eastern
boundary Of the state. The act au-
thorizcs the Maine Central railroad COM
pany to build a branch line of railroad
from some point in the lire Of the Euro
pean and North American railway, Maine
/ Central railroad company lessee, in the
I town OF Bancroft running in general
northerly or northeasterly direction
through the towns Of Bancroft, Haynes
willie, Weston and Orient Or any of then,
( all being I'm the county Of Aroostook to
/ the easterly boundary line Of the State
| Of Maine, to connect with the railroad
to be built by the government railways
! Of Canada.
| This bin Is asked by the management
! Of the Maine Central railroad for the
purpose Of building a connecting link OF
about % miles which with another link
Of about the same length to be built by
the government railways Of Canada will
make a short and direct route from the
TERRITORY served by the 900 miles OF Ca
madam Government railways in the Pro-
vinces of New Brunswick. Nova Scotia
and Prince Edwards Island into New
England and will facilitate the exchange
Of commodities between this entire terri
torn and New England.
This proposed route will be much
shorter and easier to operate than any
route now available and will have from
the start an assured business sufncient
to fully warrant its construction.
The question Of Just how the Canadian
government railways should ERECT an
entrance into New England has been I'M
der consideration a year or two with the
result that this proposed route has been
decided upon as altogether the most
feasible and desirable. The business
coming over this route will be just 50
much new business for Maine, its rail-
roads now coming into New England by
route running around the State OF
Maine IN through to Sherbrooke thence
to Boston.
