Portland Railway Opposes St Johns Line Extension Plan
The Portland Railway Light and Power Company filed with the public service commission to oppose extending the St Johns line to a new terminal elevator. It says interurban operation is impractical without treating the entire line as one system and a reasonable milor zone fare. The firm has no funds to build the extension, estimated at 35000, and may need future capital via deep discounted bonds. It notes odds the dock commission may bear the extension cost.
