Chairman Bcnj. F. Cleaves and Com
missioners Wm. B. Skelton and Her
bert W. Trafton, were present, with
Clerk George F. Gididngs. The elec
tric road was represented by General
Manager, A. S. Sweeney, Supt. W. G.
Bowie and Percy Weymouth of the
Augusta Division, with John E. Xel
son of Augusta as counsel. Mayor
Willis E. Swift and City Solicitor
M. E. Sawtelle represented the city,
with a number of citizens, including i
Supt. of Schools. H. H. Stuart, L. L.
Hight, D. W. Adams, O. O. Stetson. 1

Hall of the Vickery & Hill Publishing [
Co., E. A. Gray, superintendent of the j
C. A. Eaton Co. and others. H. E.
Foster of Winthrop was also in at- I
tendance.
Chairman Cleaves stated that r.w- i
lng to the complaints and criticism ,
of the service being given by the !
electric road the commission ha.l
thought best to get this gathering
here that the matter might be talked
over and to see if some sort or kind
of an arrangement be made for the
common good of all. He thought I
that the acute situation for this and !
all railroads was recognized by the !
public, but at the same time the pub- '
lie had its rights.
Mayor Swift said he was present
with formal complaints but had rep- j
resentatires of the schools, the press, {
the manufactories, the merchants
and citizens to voice their views. He
had heard little criticism of the in
1 crease of fare to 7 cents, but much
of the non-improvement in seivice,
as promised. The fact is, the serv
ice has not been as good since the in
crease as before.
The merchants criticize the two
hour service to Togus, the increased
fare tending to send the people to
Gardiner, with a 5-cent fare on the
Kennebec Central, and better serv
ice. Our electric service is only half
as often and costs 7 cents. The Win
throp service is very poor. A trip
now takes twice the usual time- He
asked City Solicitor Sawtelie to take
charge of the witnesses.
Counsel Nelson asked Mr. Swift if
he thought the service was porr or
infrequent and was told that in some
cases the service was very poor.

“Think the "skip stop’ system should
bo cut out?”
“No, but the Maine Central skip
I should be."
“You know there is a grade there?”
“Yes, but the Augusta people are
paying a 7-cent fare for it.”
Herman H. Stuart, superintendent
of Augusta schools, said the trans
portation of the Winthrop, Hallowcll
and Togus children was all right but
on the Waterville line some 36 chil
dren arrived long before the school
hour and couldn’t leave for home un
til long after the closing hour. Of
these children, 18 are High school and
18 of the Grade schools. He would
have a car that would land them at
school at 8.30 and take them at 3.30
P. M„ instead of the present 7.30 A.
M.. and 4.30 P. M. j
Charles F. Flynt. a resident of Union j
street, said that in cutting the stops be
low the U‘ate House, instead of leaving
the Scott street stop, which would be
practically the center of accommodation
for the 50-odd families of that section,
the extreme outside stop only is made,
accommodating but few and causing
long walks for the others. He thought
the Maine Central stop was more than
of local importance, the very nature of ;
the station and the amount of the steam :
railroad's business entitled It to recogni- j
tion. A railroad station was usually {
considered an important place In a town
or city.
Charles F Bilodeau represented the
Augusta Merchants' Association. He ;
said the merchants advertised and en
deavored to get their share of the Vas
salboro and vicinity trade, but cutting |
out the Saturday night 9.30 car had af
fected trade here. Some on the Win- ;
throp lire on account of the service also
went to I-ewiston arid likewise with the
Togus people, going to Gardlnar.
J. Frank Bilodeau thought the Torus 1
lervice was very poor. A resident over
here either had to so to dinner at 31.30
K. M. or 1.30 P. M., and he didn’t know
vhen he could set back. The roadbed
Kras bad and the service poor. The
school children were landed in Aususta
it such hours that they had to wait out
doors for school to begin.
Supt. E. A. Gray of the Eaton Co.
said his operatives were bothered most
jy the waits. Cars ran on such sched
ules that to set to work on time they
had to leave home very early and then
iwait w'orking time. The same on leav
ing* work at night. Finishing at 5 P.
M., it was wait for a 5.30 car. To get
to work at 7 A. Mi. must arrive at 6.30.
Ever since the 7-cent fare went into ef
fect the cars had been late. Could get
record to p-ove it. Think better sched
ule could be mad<* for the working peo
ple. mills, factories, schools and others.
Thought the “skin stops" not appli
cable to places the size of Augusta,
Hallowell an,: Gardiner to any appre
ciable degree, but intended for the con
gested traffic in large city centers.
Thought the cutting out of the con
venient stops in our small places un
wise. In winter it would cause old peo
ple to walk twice the distance in all the
bad weather, an entirely wrong plan.
Charles R. Hall of the Vickery & Hilt
Publishing House said Mr. Gray had
exactly voiced his views on the sebject.
Mr. Sawtelle read a letter of protest
from Etta H. Morrill, who lives below
the ear bam and who if the “skips”
were to be continued would lose present
employment.
The Electric Road’s Side
General Manager Albert S. Sweeney
of the L.. A. & W. then presented the
road's side of the case. The road ex
pected to increase its revenues by the
increase to a 7-cent fare, but conditions
had combined and the revenues were
falling off constantly. .lune showed a
little increase, July and August a de
creases and September a slight increase,
but October a great falling off. some
time 11000 a day. We have tried so fat
to keep faith with the public and im
prove the service and have spent all
our money on maintenance for that pur
pose, from 50 to 90 per cent, over the
amount in 1917,
We are facing added expense all the
time, with a coming wage increase, and
we shall need before spring at least
J100.000 over the revenues. I don’t know
where we are going to get the money.
We are trying to cut down all possible
end keep agoing through the winter,
but we are really facing absolute sus
pension of operations.
Regarding the “skip stops,” we in
stitute that plan in the interest of
economy. Other roads have found a
saving of from 15 to 25 per cent, by
this plan. The government had also
insisted in conservation of fuel by
the steam-using railroads. We use
largely electrical power but about 10
per cent, is generated by coal. We
used our best judgment in locating
the stops, but wish it understood that
that if the commission recommends,
we will relocate, or restore such
stops as may be considered neces
sary. But remember, it is' one <>r the
ways in which the company can
economize.
.itie conference then passed into a
scries of questions and answers be
tween the people present and Mr.
Sweeney, all calculated to bring the
conditions and how to remedy or
change them with the best results to
all concerned. No indications of eva
sion on the part of the roads repre
sentative nor undue feeling against
the road appeared.
It was suggested by Mr. Gray that
the arrivals and departures in .Au
gusta i.e changed to quarter «,f and
quarter past the hour, for the accom
modation of the workers and school
children. Mr. Sweeney said it was a
proposition worth his consideration.
He thought the noon trip between
Winthrop and Augusta could not be
.'■pared but that an extra trip couid
i>e put in to accommodate the people
from State street to say. Morangs.
Then the car could be swung over
across the river and make a trip for
the people as far up as Webber pond.
Asked about the demand for the
train trip on the Winthrop line, he
said their experience was that more
people asked for (he car than patron
ized these extra flips. Regarding the
9.30 1J. M. Vassalboro car, he cited
two Saturday nights when the re
ceipts were 43 cents and $1.40, later
admitting ihat they were on rainy
days He also said a 10.30 P. M. oar
has been put on that run. Supt. Wey
mouth had a request for a car for
people finishing werk at 6 and .t had
taken sometimes two fares, some
times six; Thursday night, it took
four. We can't operate trips unless
people patronize the cars.
Chairman Cleaves—In view of the
large amount of criticism of the road,
don’t you think that if you strain a
bit and favor your patrons and make
a decided effort to better these con
ditions. it would help do away with
that feeling a lot? I know the road's
situation has its financial limits, but,
Mr. Sweeney, if it was your boy os
girl you would see the full force of
all this.
Sweeney—I do. This action on the
part of the road in this emergency is
not a part of our feelings in the mat
ter—it is a matter of stern necessity.
The people must ride and support the
road or we must stop operation.
We feel that we have been con
servative instead of radical in our
changes and they have been for the
best good of the road and the peo
ple. We will make the noon change
on the Winthrop line and fix .he trip
to Webber pond. The other matters
will all be taken under consideration.
It being called to his attention that
the Maine Central stop at Gardiner
had also been eliminated, he said he
preferred action by the commission
in that matter.
Various other matters concerning
the service were touched on during
the general conversation, some of
them bringing out touches of humor
that brought laughter from all.
Chairman Cleaves stated that it
was the feeling that the Augusta end
of the line had not benefitted in the
improved equipment and service as
had the Lewiston people, and that
Augusta and vicinity was therefore
not particularly pleased with it. He
thought it required attention and at
once.
The conference lasted over two
hours.
Charities and Corrections
The State Board of Charities and Cor
•ections have made reports as follows
to the Governor and Council regarding
conditions in various town farms:
Madron Town Farm
Superintendent and matron, Mr. and
Mrs. Geo. W. Badger. Salary *65 per
month. Experience one year and a half.
House is made of wood, 11 stories.
Fire apparatus, none: lighting by kero
sene. Inmates1 quarters consist, kitch
en, dining room and five dormitories:
number of beds, nine; largest number
in any one room, four. One earth
closet. The almshouse is not used a3
a house of correction. Tramps are fed
and lodged; authority for their admis
sion, order of selectmen; work not re
quired. Cleanliness, excellent. Repair,
shingling needed, sink drain plugged.
Furniture, good. Beds and bedding,
plentiful. Sanitation, good. Care of
food supplies, good. Xo special facili
ties for the care of sick Or separate care
of infectious diseases.
une man oocs inores; one woman aocs
own work.
Inmates present—Men under 60, oufc;
over 60, two; women under 60, two; tu
bercular, one; not sick in bed but re
quiring more or less assistance, two.
Complaints of inmates: One woman—
probably a hypochondriac—thinks the
cistern water is bad. saying it comes
from a swamp and received bad drain
age waters. The superintendent says
that this spring, situated at consider
able distance across the street, is all
right, save for surface waters in the
time of freshe's. If he had the slightest
question of the purity of the wader, he
would have it analyzed.
Recommendations and Sugg^tiOns—At
this farm is a man with tuberculosis.
Ho is unwilling to sleep in the dormi
tory and this arrangement would be un
desirable. The only place for him seems
to be a tiny room under the eaves,
where the window is little more than a
slit in the wail. There is one larger
room, tut in an open place off from
this, are kept supplies by the woman
whose room is o.: the same floor, and
who does her own housekeeping. Other
things have t' be kept there and the
attic is also reached through this room.
If it were not for this case, the arrange
ments for separation of sexes is good*
as there are -'our beds for men in the
dormitory below. Cannot the tubercu
losis inmate, who is a State charge, be
sent to the State sanitorium?
That if tra-clers and vagrants are to
be lodged and fed, they be required to
pay for their care, either in money or
an equivalent amount of work or be
promptly arrested as vagrants.
Anson Town Farm
Superintendent and matron, Mr. and
Mrs. And'ew p. Fisher. Kxperience
since April. Salary, $500. Outside lie’p
on the farm hired when necessary. The
household consists of Superintendent
and matro rr.d Jwo children, a girl of
U and boy of 11.
There rre two inmates both over 60.
One is entirely helpless and a great
care. The other an ill-looking man,
crippled with rheumatism, requiring
eerne assistance.
Matron says she could manage if the
t wn would hire the washings done, but
with hired help for the large farm, and
[ the care of i: nates it is too hard. The
latter say that they have good care and
the kindest treatment. They eat with
the family, and the splendid lot of
canned fruit and vegetables in the cel
lar show that they will have good living
uns winter.
In the living oom ij an-immense stove
which akes the rooms most comfort
able. Save this, the beds, the furniture,
ail belong to the superintendent and
wife. They have provided also a new
feather bed for one inmate and provide
their own bedding which is good. The
beds are very clean. A hard fight
against vermin has been waged success
fully.
Drainage, good, aside from the sink,
which drains on the surface near the
house. Tlie cellar is cemented and dry.
Tlie superintendent's part of the house
is so shady as to cause dampness. Good
spring water enters the house. Caro of
food. good, in neatly kept eellarway an l
covered jars in large pantry.
Tlie inmates are bathed fortnightly
and clothing changed at that time. In
dividual towels are used.
Frequently relatives or friends of in
mates call; the minister visits and the
neighbors often “drop in.”
The town provides clothing in suitable
amounts and material.
New window* have been placed in the
living room. Repair: Poor.
Recommendations and Suggestions—
That chimney be repaired; the ell
shingled; several rooms whitened and
papered: am repaired.
