Messages and documents from the

ments.
To the Honorable House of Repre-
sentatives:
l have carefully examined House
Document No. 4o1 IAN Act to grant
additional corporate power to Maine
Title and Utility Company" and re
specially return the same herewith
without my approval.
This act grants to the above-nam-
ed corporation the right to build
construct and equip railroad lines
the right to operate such lines, and
the right to invest property in trus-
tees for any purposes ard in any
manner that will further the objects
Of it's Incorporation.
The right - construct railroad
lines is vested in RAILROAD companies
under our statutes and surrounded
by certain "lfeguards intended to
protect the public against over-cap-
italization.
l believe it is contrary to sound
public policy to grant to any general
corporation the broad powers pro-
posed in this act. The proposal is rem
dered still more Objectionable in this
instance by the fact that the corpor-
alton has included in it's corporate
name the name of the State.
Dated at the Executive Chamber
March %. 1919.
