The city urges careful consideration to protect present industries and attract new ones.

Plan to Abandon Lewiston Bath Street Railway Due to Finances
Col. William B. Skelton announces the Androscoggin and Kennebec Railway will seek permission from the Public Utilities Commission to abandon service between Lisbon Falls and Bath. Declining revenues and costly highway-relocation work drive the move, potentially releasing about 25 employees and affecting 21 miles of track. The decision follows years of motor vehicle competition and prior abandonments, noting the line’s historic origins from 1897 and its status as a major suburban route in Maine.
