( Railway on lower State street from
the westside 10 the center Of the
street leave TO withdraw their petit
ton. and with this action coupled the
following order:
1t is hereby ordered that the Lew
iston. Augusta and Waterville 81. r.
f. be and hereby is required TO prop
eriy ballast and align their tracks on
street between the State House
and the car barn. and to restrict the
speed of any and all their passenger

points mentioned to a rate not eX-
ceeding IS miles an hour. and 10 elm
mate all unnecessary and prolonged
whistling. After the track has been
hallasted and aligned as aforesaid
the track shall at all times be main
tanned to a high degree Of efficiency.
and subject to the approval OF the
board of municipal officers of this

General Manager Sweeney, Division
Superintendent Weymouth. and AT
torney John L. Nelson were present
10 represent the interests of the road.
! Among the complaints Of the ne
uuoners were that the cars-especi :
ally the freight cars-travel at an
excessive and dangerous rate Of
speed: that the Jar produced causes
serious damage TO property on the
street; that the lack OF room for
drainage facilities between the track
and the sidewalk causes water to ac-
cuhluIate TO a troublesome extent:
ana that the noise of whistles is dis
turblng to the neighborhood.
General Manager Sweeney said that
! he believed a better roadbed is pos
sioie where il Is not divided by a
track in the center Much of the
: jar ne believed can be eliminated bv
welding the joints and thus providing
ia smooth track surface. This the
railroad is willing to do. he said
: Mr.. Sweeney was asked bv one Of
the petitioners as to what he CON
sidered a reasonable rate of speed on
the particular grade under consider
alton and he replied that 10 or Is
miles an hour ne thought rea sonable

frequent.
