1T Vii be seen by advertisement IL
our columns that proposals are out for
the building Of the Harlem extension 10
Bennington, and that bids viii be re-
ceiyed in Bennington, until the 10th
and at the Harlem Railrond Office, New
York. until the 18th inst. Immediately
after the 18th tie contract for the en-.
tire work will be given ont, and the
work commenced before the lstof July
1t il no longer disputed that the Hm-
lem extension to Bennington is sure
thing. Troy may thank Dan Robinson
a. Go. for that same
Query ? II a connection between
the Troy q Boston II. II. and the Ben
nington road cannot be obtained now
when there is no railroad outlet from
Bennington towards Troy is there any
likelihood that a correction will be es-
tablished when the Harlem extension
is completed ? Won't the Vcrronters
say We wanted to connect bat ID r. q
Co. would not let as - We now have an
outlet and don't propose 10 eonneci
Just to obligc those who have compelled
us to put our money into the Harlem
r. r. Somebody has got 70 back down
before a connection is possible. IL it
likely TO be the Ncrnonters after they
have become independent Of the Troy
Railroads !?
The question has often been asked
in Troy where are the Vermoutcrs to
dispose Of their town bonds issued to
raise money to build the Harlem extern
SION. A letter forwarded to us states
that a Boston banking concern has Of
fered TO take all these bonds at 9S cents
on the dollar, but this offer has been
declined as they are being taken by The
farmers themselves for investment. ii
the towus have to pay the entire am
cunt Of these bonds it viii amount to.
only four per cent. on the assessed val
uation Of the property Of the towns, or
aobut equal to the rate Of annual tax
imposed ON property in the city Of Troy
