He said the Winthrop branch used to hani products of oilcioth factories between the Center and Winthrop village, but these are now carried by auto trudks. The road also used to have some business from the Hallowell Granite but this business long since has been shut down.
Estimate of 1919 Earnings and Expenses on Winthrop Line. Witness then gave the estimate of the earn. ngs and expenses of the Winthrop line for the year 1279, as follows: REVEYUE. Passenger 842. 000 Freight 8.600 M.scellaneous 700 846.300 EXPENSES Maintenance of Maintenance of equipment.

Transportation 9.970 Traffic General 4.530 Operating defleit Taxes Deficit after taxes 1.680 Estimated Cost of Rehabilitation of Line He then gave the following estimate of the cost of rehabilitation of the Winthrop line: 15.000 ties at $.70 810.300 Rail fastenings 1.6000 Ballast 8008 yds. at S.ore Culvert and cattie passes. 8.700 Track labor at 8.40 28.009 Bonding High tension line repairs 2.500 860.400 Mr. Sweeney went into much detail showing how these figures were complied.
He said Winthrop is a little over 14 miles from Augusta and he based his estimates of expenses on that line from estimates on the whole system, which was about $1000 a mile a year for maintenance. The Winthrop line alone costa nearly a vear for pewer.

They have been getting more money the Winthrop brunch of late on account of increased fares, but the actual number of passengers is decreasing. At this point Norman Bassett said be would like an opportunity to examine the books of the railroad and see how the figures were put gether.
and then to cross-examine Mr. Sweenes. Justice Morrill then made an important statement regurding the entire matter. Justice Morrill's Statement Field, Phila. At that point Justice Morrill spoke as follows I will say now.
and I want all the counsel to understand. that this hearing is largely for the information of the court. I have made it a public nearing because it is a matter of great interest. Whatever may do as the result of this bearing an this petition. is in its nature temporary.
Later the question of sale is coming up. The situation it exists today will hare a strong fuence with me as to how this road 15 be sold As I am informed now. the present plan will be for a forecinsure under the Lewiston. Augusta Waterville Street Railway 5 per cent mortgage, which is a first lien CO only a part of this general system. There must be a loss to those bondhoiders.
The system does not show an earning capacity that will take care: of the running expenses. and the interest on the underlying securities and taxes together with the interest on the full amount issued of the refunding fres, the junior 96- cur bes. The whole system does not snow an earning capacity that will take care of that entire interest and of the refunding aves. the junior mortgage. There 15 approximately one million and seven hundred thousand dellars of the junior bonds the hands of private investors, scattered from the middle states to the eastern part of Maine.
There is approximately million and two hundred thousand dollars of junior bonds that have been pledged as collateral to organizations that have furnished money to keep this road going, even to the extent that last season sixty thousand dollars. if I remember the figure correctly. were pledged to the Emergency Fleet Corporation of actual money that went into the road enable it to meet the demands of the organization of the Bath branch furnish transportation. Now there will he a loss on those bands because the rond cannot pay the interest on them added to the prior charges. The question is coming up.
when the road is ordered sold, upon a hearon the forecinsure, how it shall be soid. whether the bondholders under that mortgage. who have simply a mortgagee's interest in equity. will care for this part of the road. I don't suppose that we can compel bondholders to take a railroad.
They can, if they see fit, drop their security, And it 16. quite likely that the quesar- Dion will come up whether a local ganization will be found who can care for this road on account of local conditions here in this vicinity, to buy the road at the foreclosure sale. I will say, further, that the trustees. the Old Colony Trust the trustees of the original securities. has had an indepentent investigation made of this situation entirely independent of the receivers and independent of any officers of the road.
and have been informed by their at representative who was present the hearing in Auburn yesterday that as a result of that independent investigation they had no objection to the discontinuance of portions of this branch: they do not regard it as of any value to the bondholders under that mortgage. Now. Mr. Sweeney, as you will appreciate. is acting as an officer af the court and He is here to give the court I such information as he has.
am impressed with the dea that he is I treating the court fairly and think that the examination should be made to today and can be made today such an extent as will elucida the situaton, if any part of it be dark or DE misunderstood by the counsel here present. For that reason I do incr feel that I can defer this bearing, It there is any part of his estimates or of his testimony that rou do not understand am sure he will be very glad explain, it further: and as I 90. it for information of court is the the that have ordered this hearing and requested these receivers to make the fullest examination and give the court the benefit of what they thought in the matter, and what experience lhas dictated and what the history the road shows. So I do not feel that can defer the examination. So far as the order that I may make an this present petition, that is governed largely by the testimony that has developed here as to the present condition of the lines.
As to its safely of operatinn I have already authortzed a substantial expenditure on portions af the line that are self-supporting. This line and certain other lines have not been included in that order for the reason that I doubted whether It to was fair the hoiders of securities on other lines, including the underlying mortgages. to allow earnings to be expended on this line un til its condition could be fully understood and investigated. Now SD far as the receivers are concerned, their operation of it is temporary onIr. There is no prayer here asking for a dismantling of this line.
This line, as you all know. under the prior liens. belongs first to the prior lien holders as a part of their security and it is for that purpose of getting information to guide me in what I may conclude to order as to the expenditure on it or a temporary cessation of operation that I have ordered this hearing in the manner which I have. Mr. Bassett said he would crossexamine Mr.
Sweeney so. far as he was able, but he would like a recess of 15 minutes to confer with the other as to what line of procedure to follow.

Wouldn't this part of the road be better off for passengers without the freight service" asked Mr. Bassett. I should say not, said Mr. Sweeney. In making up your budget for the whole road I understad there would be 90 much money per mile coming to the whole system, and there would be a proportionate amount coming to the Winthrop line.
Did it come to the Winthrop I hare not the figures here to show. Then I understand that the budget far the whole system has not. produced its proportionate share for the Winthrop. line' That I cannot say. Witness was then asked the net revenue of the line between Augusta and Gardiner.
Mr. Sweeney could not tell. Is there any part of your system that pays better than the line between Augusta and Gardiner? I should not want 10. say Do the bonks show' Not exactly Tou would have to get at it by some figuring. Save you an impression that the Mechanics Falls line pays? I think it does.
At this juncture Justice Morrill said he didn't care whether the Winthrop line paid now or not, or whether anything about cost of rehabilitation. as his only concern was whether with reasonable expense, the line can be run. Judge Maher Cross- Examines Judge Maher then tonk hand the cross-examination. Do you think the Winthrop line unsafe? he asked. I think it is running on a narrow margin.
What part of your whole system de you take as a standard? No of it part is any too high. How many des will be needed right off on the Winthrop line? should say 6000 or 8000. I Now I would like to ask. Judge Maber, how many passengers ride on the Winthrop fers from the line is transmain Mr. Sweeney was unable to tell.
Judge Maher then asked if in the estimate of expenses be had made allowance for wear and tear of road on a line that runs caly once in two hours. as against other parts of the system that run every half hour. Mr. Sweeney said he did not think this was an appreciable amount. He said 3 1-2 per cent of the passenger earnings and 1 1-2 per cent of the freight earnings are usually set aside for damages that have to be paid out on railway lines.
How many passengers did the Winthrop line carry in Witness was unable to state. SEid 524.321 fares were He taken, but could not tell how many passengers that represented Gross, receipts in March were and in April 38.048. Stress was laid on the rights of the bond-hoiders.
