Hear Complaint
Against New Train
Schedule of Sandy
River Railroad Co.

Hearing was held Thursday after
noon before the Public Utilities Com
mission at the State House on the
complaint. signed by D. f. Field of
Phillips and nine other residents of
that town, against the Sandy River
, d Rangeley Lakes Railroad.
The petitioners complain that only
! one passenger and mail train has
been operated each day between
! Phillips and Pennington for several
years; that new schedule was adj
Vert1sei effective Dec. 10, 1925, which
seems unnecessary, unreasonable, In
sufficient and inadequate; that ac-
cording to such schedule train would
leave Phillips more than three hours
necessary to connect with the Maine
! Central Railroad train at Farming
ton and make a long and unneces-
sary wait for passengers at Far
mington.
The petitioners furthers set form
! that the new schedule cancels train
to Phillips and way stations connect
ing at Harrington with the Maine
central train arriving at 5.25 p. NJ,
ana that cancellation of this train
will deprive Phillips and other pat
rons of the Sandy River & Rangeley
Lakes Railroad patrons from MAX
ing trip to Portland and return,
giving any part of a business day in
Portland, in less than three days.
The desire of the petitioners Is
that the old schedule be restored and
that the freight train schedule be ar
ranged so to do It's shifting on the
down trip and run as a mixed train
from Phillips to Pennington, con-
Meeting with the Maine Central train
arriving at Pennington at 1920 p.
M.
| According to the new schedu,e
complained of the morning train on
the Sandy River Railroad leaves
Phillips at 9 o'clock and arrives ut
Pennington at 1905 and the Maine
Central train leaves Pennington at
100 II. NJ. The afternoon train on
the Maine Central road arrives at
Pennington at 1920, the Sandy
River road train leaves Pennington
at 12.45 p. NJ, and arrives at Phil
| lips at 1.40 z. M. A Maine Central
train arrives at Pennington at 52o
! 2. NJ. and the Sandy River road
train is cancelled.
The petitioners present a new
schedule which seems seasonable to
them: That train leave Phillips a.
II noon arriving at Pennington at
LOS p. M, connecting there with the
100 train on the Maine Central; that
whereas the Maine Central train in
the afternoon arrives at Pennington
at 5.25 o'clock, a train on the Sandy
River road should leave Pennington
at $50 p. NJ, and arrive at Phillips
at 6.25 p. M. That was the schedule
that was in force Dec. 6, 1924.
Attorney Cyrus n. Blanchard of
Wilton presented the case of the pc
petitioners and called as a witness
Daniel +. Field, a pulpwood dealer
at Phillips, who stated that If the
Sandy River & Rangeley Lakes Rail-
road runs only one train a day it
ought to connect with something. 1t

savings banks making any move
whatever to bring it about. On the
other hand, as understand 1t. they
have expressly, and 1 believe proper
Nv placed themselves on record as
believing that the protection or trust
company depositors is not one OF
their functions. / am aware that one
or two savings bank officials 1eel
otherwise, but they are distinctly
in the minority.
Il think you and I are not far apart
in the conviction that savings banks
and the savings department OF COM
mercial banks ought to operate under
substantially identical restrictions
but we differ in the means to be TAX
en- to bring that about. To my nina,
if such a move should be sponsored
by the savings banks in spirit OF
hostility. based upon the argument
that they are unfairly treated, II
would operate to delay, if not to de-
feat the end to be accomplished:
las a matter of fact, the depositor
who is likely to suffer from any de-
feet in the present trust company
laws is not the owner of a savings
account, but the demand deposltor.
This is abundantly illustrated in the
case of the Wiscasset institution to
which you refer, in which. under
stand from the receivers that the
savings depositors will probably re-
ceive a hundred cents on the dollar,
while the demand depositors are
likely to fare rather poorly.
This results from the operation OF
our segregation statute, under which
savings depositors are made in effect
preferred creditors. This segrega-
ton statute was the work of for
mer commissioner whose picture Is
among those which you say hangs
on the walls of my office as con-
slant reminder to me of the fact that
these officials had to keep an eye on
the future to avoid offending their
personal trust company friends. It
is the most effective protection which
is given to savings dcpositors in any
Maine banking institution and since
it's passage in 1911 no savings depos-
itor in any Maine trust company has
lost n dollar Of principal.
There is one important element In
the situation which You entirely ig-
more. No state law can regulate ma
tional bank investments. The ma
tonal banks are the real COMPETE
tors of the trust companies. If the
present condition Is unfair to saw
ings banks. would it not follow by
the same logic that Your remedy
would be unfair to trust companies"

Criticism of Maine
Savings Bank Laws

Hon. Fred f. Lawrence of Show
hogan, state bank commissioner,
Thursday sent letter to Frank p.
Bennett, publisher of the Banker and
Investor at Boston in reply to a crit
icism which appeared in that paper
recently to the laws of Maine rela-
tive to savings banks and trust COM
panies.
"You state that the savings banks
Of Maine" said Commissioner Law
renee IN his letter, ARE abused by
the Legislature, neglected by the
newspapers and left to shift for
tors have been turned loose on them
by the public. authorities and even
encouraged to prey upon them that
their pleas to public authorities for
help have fallen upon deaf ears and
that they are fighting single hand
ed for the welfare of the people of
Maine
Il cannot understand what led you
to draw this picture. In 1921 the
Maine legislature appointed a recess
committee of five to codify and re-
wise the banking laws, of which only
one member was trust company Of
fetal. The widest publicity was Civ
en- to its deliberations and public
hearings were held, of which every
savings bank received due notice.
The savings bank investment law
which was enacted as the result of
the work Of that committee is one of
the most liberal in the country and
incorporated practically everything
the savings banks asked for. The
savings banks did not then and have
not since asked for any restrictions
on trust company investments. On
the other hand. they have distinctly
refused to do so. The sub
ject was brought up at the last
meeting of the executive council of
the savings banks association and
they refused, by a very large MAORI
ty, to sponsor any such legislation.
The only action taken was to ask the
executive committee or legislative
committee to confer with a similar
committee from the trust companies
with view to the passage of legis-
lation that might be satisfactory to
both. I am informed that no move
| has been made to bring these COM
| mittees together.
1.-THE only step, to my knowledge,
that has been taken to secure legis-
lation restricting trust company in
veStments has been made by this de-
rartment. In my last report, CALL
ed attention to the laxity of our laws
regarding trust company investments
and this was supplemented by more
effective action which took later
