PROMISE GIVEN REGARDING STREET
RAILROAD SITUATION.

A conference was held ct Norway Sat
urday afternoon between Walter 8. Wy
man, treasurer Of the Central Maine
Power Co., the committees Of Paris and
Norway in charge of the cement road
matter, and number Of citizens inter-
ested In the matter Of the operation of
the street railroad between the two
towns.
This conference was necessary because
IL must be very soon decided what 10 to
be done about the street railroad track
when the cement road is built. The
Central Maine Power Co., by its pur-
chase of the Oxford Electric Co., has be-
come the owner of the street railroad.
As every one knows, while the operation
OF the road has been discontinued, and
the Public Utilities Commission has re-
fused to order q resumption of operation,
the same commission has refused to
sanction permanent discontinuance.
Since the property was acquired by the
Central Maine Power Co., that corpora
ton has shown disposition to listen to
the requests of the citizens for resump-
ton OF service on the street railroad, and
there has been more or less informal ne
gotiation regarding the matter In various
phases, such a. the possibility Of taking
over the Grand Trunk business. Satur-
days conference Is the first time that
definite proposition has been made.
In brief, Mr.. Wyman's proposition
made Saturday Is substantially this:
When the cement road Is built, the
Central Maine Power Co. will operate
over IL an automobile bus on q regular
schedule. They will have two Of these
cars, one to be In reserve 80 that one or
the other will be in commission all the
time. These cars will be warmed In
cold weather, and made ss comfortable
as an electric street car. The fare will
be fixed ut what proves to be the best
6gure-very likely straight ten-cent
fare.
This service will be maintained by the
company during 1921, to show what 1t
will do. The Central Maine Power Co.
expresses q desire to maintain service of
some kind permanently, If 1t can be done
without loss, even though 1t may yield
no profit. It even declares itself willing
to rehsbilitste the electric
road and run II, II events should make 1t
appear possible to do so.
Citizens who attended Saturdays con-
ference felt that Mr.. Wyman was mani
testing, on behalf of the company, sim
,ere desire to give these communities
street railroad service IL possible.
