TRUNK LINE SERVICE
FOR MAINE ROADS
MACOMBER ADVOCATES

The directors of the Augusta
Chamber of Commerce listened to an
address by Hon. George E. Macomber.
Friday, endorsing what is known as
the Mcdonald plan of railroad con-
solidation.
MIR. Macomber said:
II any excuse was necessary for
my being here this morning, it would
be the fact that I have been some
what connected with the Maine Cen
tral Railroad company for quite a
number of years and have known of
some of their difficulties and troubles
and this matter which is now pend
ing before them.
1T is matter in which the city of
Augusta is certainly largely interest
ed, If for no other reason than the
fact that there is more Maine Gen.
tral stock, l think, owned and con-
trolled in Augusta, than in any other
city in the State of Maine, except
Portland. The city of Augusta, it
seems to me. is very much interested
in being able to get its freight into
the western states without delays
AS you all know the steam railroads
of the United States, due very largely
to government operation during the
war, all got into various troubles and
difficulties. When they were turned
back to their owners they were
found to be not only in very bad con-
dition physically but in very bad
condition financially and the old
owners and operators have had no
end of difficulty in overcoming these
troubles.
lone of the efforts that have been
made by the Interstate. Commerce
Commission was a recommendation
some months ago that 1t was advis-
able to divide the country up into
districts and consolidate the roads
so as to have about twenty divisions.
Then the question arose just how
they should be divided. Different
people had different opinions. Among
one was Prof. Ripley of Harvard
college, and the Interstate Commerce
Commission authorized him to go
ahead and make some report, which
he finally did.
The governors of the states have
appointed a committee to investigate
and hear evidence and make their
report and as result of that investi-
CATION Mr.. Storrew's report is=before
you. That report provides that
there shall be a consolidation Of all
the New England roads, taking in the
Maine Central, the Boston and Maine,
the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford and all the Maine roads except
the Grand Trunk and the Canadian
Pacific which are outside the control
of the government. The Storrow re-
port goes into the conditions very
fully and one of the things l think

that will strike you Is the fact that
the physical condition Of the Maine
Central and the Boston and Albany
are very nearly alike.
There have been various PROPOSE
tons made outside this plan to con-
solidate all of the roads. One of them
was that the Boston and Maine
should tie up with the Maine Central
and the Bangor and Aroostook. The
objection to this is that the financial
condition is such that it would be a
serious handicap to. the State of
Maine.
There is to be a meeting of the
Interstate Commerce Commission
Sept. "a, at which time the Storrow
report will be presented and it is
hoped by Mr.. Mcdonald and the
Maine Central people that plan can
be presented which will be very much
more for the interest of the State Of
Maine and its shippers than any
consolidation which will include the
Boston and Maine and the New
Haven roads.
The plan is virtually this. The
Boston and Maine have a division
called the Worcester. Nashua and
Portland division and runs from
Portland to Worcester where it con-
meets with the Boston and Albany.
The plan is for the Maine Central
to acquire that road. The Boston
and Albany is owned entirely and
controlled by the New York Central.
The entire middle west is covered by
a system which is under control of
the New York Central.
'Mr. McDonald's plan is for the
Maine Central to acquire this road
from Portland to Worcester and then
make connections with the New York
Central"
Mr.. Macomber here read from the
plan as outlined by Mr.. Mcdonald,
as follows:
1.-THE Maine Central Railroad COM
pany should get direct connections
through to the trunk line territory,
New York City and the West via the
New York Central through its leased
line, the Boston and Albany railroad,
and this can be brought about by
taking over the Worcester, Nashua
and Portland division of the Boston
and Maine railroad between Portland
and Worcester and in this consolida-
ton the Bangor and Aroostook
should also be included.
1.-THE plan which is proposed has no
Objectionable features whatever from
financial, operating. or traffic view
point, but will very much. from the
point of service to the public. improve
the present conditions. From traffic
standpoint the saving in operation
and revenues now divided among sew
eral roads retained by one interest
will make for increased net earn
ings. Rate adjustments now depend
cnt upon approval of other New Eng
land Lines Will become much simpl-
traffic within New England. New York.
and the Wcst will be possible over
