To the Honorable, the Joint Committee of
the Legislature of Maine on Railroads:
Gknti.kmkn :—As Stock-holder, Bond
holder, I>ireetor and Counsel of the l’ort
land and Oxford < Vntral Kail road Corpor
ation, by reason of my inability to address
you in person, I ask the privilege offbeing
heard, briefly, by yon, in writing, pj-se
ly to the petitioners tor the incorporation
of u Railroad Company to construct a rail
road from Lewiston to Kumford Falls.
For one quarter of a century past—that
is from a period anterior to the date of the
original charter of the Buekfield Branch
Railroad in 1847, the people living along
the route, from Mechanic Falls to the An
droscoggin River have been struggling to
secure the construction of a Railroad to
accomodate the industry of that region,
and against manifold, and almost innum
erable opposing difficulties. But they
have never despaired, nor ever ceased
their efforts in the enterprise.
The Legislature of the State lias hither
to encouraged this stniggle, not-only lu
its incipieney, but during all these years
of protracted hope and effort, by conform
ing its legislation to the necessities of
these people. But, not until the com
mencement of the current year, have they
succeeded in waking up the solitudes of
hills and valleys to be traversed, by the
sound of the locomotive whistle, and the
rumbling responses of the traffic train of
ears, f util it became an established fact,
the pecuniary weakness of the population
interested, and the limited productiveness
of the region to be tints accommodated,
rendered the enterprise a dubious one; and
even yet the problem remains to be solved
whether it will be in any degree compen
satory to the capital invested in it, pro
vided it shall escape the threatened inva
sion of its promised business in which
the Legislature is now invoked to join.
Certain it must he to every intelligent and
thinking mind, that the valley of the An
droscoggin, north and west of the existing
line ot the Androscoggin Railroad, cannot
support two distinct Ilailroads, although
extending to two distinct markets. And
if there can be any Railroad State policy
Invested with suicidal attributes, it will be
found in legislation which so encourages
a multiplicity of roads, that each is made
to dragon an impoverished existence, and
rendered too enfeebled to meet the public
wants or to compensate the enterprise and
capital improvidently expended in them.
The Portland and Oxford Railroad,
which became the legal assignee of the
former Bucklield Branch Road is now con
structed to Canton village, from its junc
tion at Mechanic Falls, with the Grand
Trunk Railway.
j ne t'JM in tiif enure siruciure, 01 noout;
twenty-nine miles, has exceeded the sum
of $.j(K),000 : and rests upon a first mort
gage bonded debt, of principal and inter
est at this time, of about jldOO.OOO, and a
class of preferred stock, held by towns
and private citizens, and for purposes of
additional equipment of the road of 81U0,
000; and nou-preferred stock ol $100,000.
The estimated cost of the proposed road
from Lewiston to Rumford Falls, whatever
it mat/ be before your committee, if added
to the above cost already incurred, will
make an aggregate of expenditure, which
no man of practical common sense will
difte predict capable of returning to the
owners two per c< nt. per annum, from all
the business traffic which the regions of
the two roads can possibly furnish, during
the next half century.
With a fact, and a result so patent to
the understanding of every member of the
Legi.-lature, as well as as to every thought
ful citizen, can it btf wise, or even fust
for the Legislature to concede a grant so
full of destruction to private interests, and
especially to xj.WXl of capital already
invested, and already accomplishing all
the name ends u /u li a duplicate of roads
can seel.- to accomplish for the valley of the
Androscoyyin Hirer, namely, a direct rail
road connection with the metropolitan
market of the State?
Nine-tenths of the expense of grading
for an extension of the Portland and Ox
ford Central from Canton village to the
Androscoggin River, on the direct route
to Rumford Falls, has already been incur
red ; and an ultimate extension of the
road to those Falls has been notorious
ly contemplated for years, waiting the
hard earned completion now effected, of
tlie road to Canton \ illage. And it is to
this same point the new charter asks for a
new and competing road to be granted.
Could a greater blunder be incurred for
weakening, instead of adding to the
wealth ot that region, provided an im
providence equal to the required expendi
ture, could be excited among capitalists
aim 'ju riuiiuu? nu un* pui jmrc.
One of the cardinal attributes of legis
lative power, surrendered by the people
to their Representative* and to the Execu
tive conjoined, i' to guard both the gener
al welfare and the interests and property
of private citizens against improvident
and visionary scemes, inaugurated by
over-sanguine theorists, under the varied
disguises of public improvements and
speculative enterprises.
The hard-fought conflict of mental forces,
which has hut recently been witnessed in the
councils of your legislative body, over a pro
posed enfranchisement of any given number
of citizens to locate and construct a line of
railroad wherever they might elect so to do,
upon certain conditions precedent, brought
into instructive display this great and neces
sary sanitary attribute of the legislature, in
the exercise of a wise guardianship over pub
lic and private interests.
And the irresistible reasonableness of one
limitation upon such a wdd enfranchisement
of speculative capital, which, as L am inform
ed. the discussion alluded to developed, viz:
That no such railroad should be located with
in the limit of ten miles of any pre-existing
road, furnishes the strongest legislative ex
pression that could be enunciated, against
the entire scheme that is involved in the peti
tions for the new road to liumlord.
Shall the Portland and Oxford Central Hail
road be made an exception to that legislative
protection, which is tiius admitted to be both
wise and just towards all other corporations
in the State? It so, front what motive and
for what reason ?
is this existing road to be a victim to any
personal prejudices, or to any political re
sentment? No legislator will own up an obei
sance to so unworthy impulses, nor assent to
an act which would prove the denial ol them
to be a mere subterfuge.
