Govt. May Be Forced to
Effect Rail Mergers
TERMINALS GRAND
TRUNK RAILWAY AT
PORTLAND FOR SALE

Portland, Me-, Sept. 4-(AP)-The
Canadian National Railway is ready
to sell to the state of Maine the
Grand Trunk docks and grain eleva-
tors here. S. ]. Hungerford of Mon
treal, operating vice president of the
Canadian National Railways, at
conference today with Henry F. Mer-
ril1, chairman of the directors of the
Port of Portland, made inquiry as to
whether the purchase of the Grand
Trunk terminal here would be con-
sidered by the state pier officials.
Chairman Merrill assured the Can
adam Railway official that he would
bring the matter to the attention of
his associates on the pier directorate
and also to the other state authori-
ties who would have to pass upon
such a prposal Mr.. Hungerford will
submit complete details as to any
proposal which the Canadian Ma
tional Railway may wish to make re-
garding the sic of it's terminals here
to the state.
1t is known that the Canadian
maritime provinces have long been
opposed to further development and
improvement of the Grand Trunk ter
minals at this port and have urged
that future expenditures be made
upon water terminals within Canad-
ian territory.
The Grand Trunk terminal pro-
perty at Portland includes in addi-
ton to trackage, seven wharfs, two
grain elevators with combined capa-
city of 100000 bushels, Office build
ings and sheds. Its estimated value is
more than S3,000,000.
The Grand Trunk railroad has
owned terminal in Portland since
1874, when it took over the old At
lantic and st. Lawrence Railroad
holdings.

Lillian Sedwick. They do not know
whether they take office Jan. 1 or
the second Tuesday of January.
They take office as soon as they
meet after Jan. 1.
If they take office before Jan. 6,
the present board will not have an
opportunity to receive the bids on
Shortridge High School or on the
81 10000 bond issue. II they wait
until the second Tuesday the pres
ent board may be able to receive
both sets of bids, provided the dates
are definitely set at the meeting
Tuesday night.
The split Saturday occurred when
Adolph G.. Emhardt objected to re-
ceiving bids until the plans and
specifications for the new building
were received and approved by the
board. Business Director William
II. Book will ask the board to set
date for advertising the bids at
the meeting Tuesday. This was to
have been done today, but when the
board could not agree on dates for
receiving bids, it was postponed.
The amount to be spent on Short
