ROT ABRAMS HEAR UTILITIES
CHAIRMAN IN CLEAR talk ON
RAILROAD CONSOLIDATION PLAN

holding company be formed and the
stock parcelled out among the great
trunk lines Of the trunk line district
The objection to this is that it takes
the control Of New England railroads
from the New England people and
places it in the financial districts like
New York.
The answer 10 this objection at once
occurs to the Proponents Of the meas
ure, that the interstate commerce com
mission would prevent any unfair dis
elimination against New England in
terests. One of the great objections
to consolidation on too large scale is
that experience has shown a limited
system may be operated more eff
GENTLY than a system of so great
magnitude.
1t is very apparent to US that have
thought about it that a control of
| railroads by those not interested in
New England may easily bring about
conditions whose blighting influence

| Before this fine talk a supper was
served to the ROtarians putting them
| in the best of humor. During the
! course of the meal several selections
] were rendered by Miss Hazel Place
who has a charming voice. The Ro
tarians also joined in the singing of
! the various familiar songs and the
evening was one of joy and good
cheer throughout.
The question Of holding meetings
| in the evening or at noon came be-
! fore the meeting at this time and the
vote was nearly unanimous for the
evening session. Some time ago it
| was brought to the attention of the
! local club that the usual time for Ro-
| tary meetings was a noon and this
| plan has been tried out by the Au
gusta club for the preceding two
meetings, but did not meet with the

gathered and discussed some of the

AS a tribute to the leadership of
Secretary G. c. Clarke of the Angus
to Chamber of Commerce the Maine
Organization Secretaries elected him
to the presidency of their organiza =
ton at the annual meeting held in
Lewiston yesterday.
Secretary Clarke since taking up
his work in Augusta two and a half
years ago has won many friends both
in Augusta and elsewhere in the State
and it was largely due to his infiu-
erce that the State organization of
secretaries adopted the policy of
boosting for Maine rather than for
individual localities and in the course
of the past year the organization has
accepted the task of acting as advis-
ors to the State Chamber of Com
merce and as it's local agents. Thus
the work of developing Maine indus
trially and commercially is being
handled step by step in most intel
ligent manner by this arrangement.
During the coming year this organ
ization expects to work out State

against Edward Little at 10 y. NJ.

While in Auburn they will make their

The game has been scheduled for
the morning SO that the players of
both elevens may have an oppor-
tunity of witnessing the Bates-Colby
clash at Garcelon field, the first
Maine series game of the season.
Sewell Austin is off the Cony squad
because Of injuries to his knee cap.
He is the only experienced center
on the squad, but Leavitt, who has
acted as his understudy against
Lewiston will be given trial iii to-

to give a good accounting of himself.

every man making the trip before
the game is finished. The experience
gained by his second string men will
be very valuable next year When
Cony faces the prospect of building
an eleven minus the services of nine
of this years first string players.
1t was rumored on pretty good
authority last evening that a game
between Cony and South Portland
might lie pulled off in the near flu
ture. A meeting of the two teams
would strike an immediate chord of
response in the hearts of Maine foot
ball fans as they are undoubtedly
two of the strongest high school grid
aggregations on the field this fall.
