Bangor Talks Against
Rail Consolidation

Bangor, Me-, Sept. 10-At meet
ing of Bangor business men at the
Chamber of Commerce today Percy
r. Todd, president Of the Bangor
and Aroostook Railroad. spoke at
length on the proposed forms of rail-
road consolidation as affecting Maine
and New England, and opposed both
the consolidation of the New Eng
land Lines and the trunk line pro-
iect advocated by President McDon-
aid of the Maine Central.
These resolutions were adopted:
Resolved, that there is nothing in
the present railroad situation in the
state of Maine, or in the relations OF
the principal railroads OF the state
of Maine to other railroads in New
England or elsewhere. that requires
or iustifics any consolidation what
soever of the Maine Central or Ban
ger and Aroostook with any other
railroads or railroad systems; that
the transportation needs of the agri-
cultural. industrial and other inter-
csts of the state of Maine will best
he served by continuation OF the
nresent arrangement of the Maine
Central Railroad and Bangor ana
Aroostook Railroad: that If any con-
solidation of The Maine Central or
Bangor and Aroostook with other
railroads is required in the future
by mandate of congress the trans,
portation needs of the. state OF
Maine will best be served by a con-
solidation of those railroads with the
other railroads of New England as
recommended in the report of the
Joint New England commission 70
the governors of the New England
states.
