work under the immediate super
vision of the Public Utilities Com

Rantoul go fully and deeply into TINS

railroads themselves, and the commls-
sion may be fully informed in regard
to every phase of property transporta-
ton.

criticism of any particular rate or rate
situation. 1t is rather to be UNDER
stood as voicing somewhat unlNer-
sal belief that a considerable portion
Of the rate structure in Maine is not
Eased on proper foundation and that
this condition has not resulted SO much
from design or mismanagement as 1t
has from an accumulation of unfor-
tunate conditions for which the rail-
read is partly responsible. various ship
pers and receivers of freight are part
~ responsible, and an almost entire
absence of the application of any sci
entific principles is responsible for
great deal.
Mr. RantOul VIII give ms entlre time
to the matter. travelling over the state
and entirely famiiarizin. himself with
the physical conditions existing upon
the various railroads. make his report
to the attorney general and to the com
mission and in event of complaint
or complaints being initiated by the
&C mmission, give in the form of tes-
timony and suggestions his advice in
regard to the proper remedies to be
applied. 1t is believed that the rail-
roads will welcome the assistance of
Mr. Rantoul and that the final result
will he benefit to all interested par
ties.
