that means them all-because the States
business is merely a consolidation of the

TO carry out the additional pan. the
Governor has invited each town to send

looking after the forestry units. The
attorney general has a large amount of
extra work, because it is in touch with
every department. The District In
emption boards take a large amount OF
printed matter. The auditors depart
ment has speeded up to care for the
increased amount of business and has
also entered into new system OF
bookkeeping for State institutions,
which requires a complete new set of
blanks and loose leaves bookkeeping

department has had numerous special
bulletins to soldiers in camps and re

THAT the business of the Executive

goes without saying. War matters
have piled in upon it in a multitude of
forms. each requiring something in the

B. & NJ. RECEIVERSHIP
HEARING ON FEB. 25

The Public Utilities Commission on
Tuesday ordered a hearing to take
place in the supreme judicial court
room at Portland Monday. Feb. IS, at
y. NJ, on the petition of James H.
lIustis. temporary receiver of the
Boston e Maine Railroad, for the de-
termination of the proportions in which
the use of the facilities of the Port
land Terminal Co. shall be hiune.
The petitioner presents that under
an act passed by the Legislature of 1911
the name of the Portland Union Rail-
way Station Company was changed to
the portland Terminal Company" and
it's powers extended through a railway
terminal; that the Boston & Maine
Railroad and the Maine Central Rail-
have used the railway terminal and the
facilities of the Portland Terminal 60.
since its establishment and that no
other railroad company has used them;
that it is provided in the act that each
of such railroad companies shall pay
for such use Of the terminal and it's
facilities in the proportion TO which
it has the use thereof, the same to be
fixed by the written agreement of all
such railroad companies, and in case
they fail to agree. the board of rail-
road commissioners shall determine
such proportions upon the application
of said terminal company or of any
of said railroad companies" and no
written agreement in regard to such
use has been made; that for more than
three years. representatives of the
railroads have been in negotiation with
the effort to make such written agree
ment, but have been and are unable
to agree: and that the Portland Ter
minal Company has kept no records
from which can be compiled the sta
tistics necessary to show the proper
ton in which the railroads use the
terminals and facilities.
