President of the Bennington Il Rutland
Railroad, publishes the following letter =
To the people of Vermont who are inter.
ested 10 the use of the Bennington &
Rutland Railroad. ..t
The proprictors of the Bennington &
Rutland Railroad deem it proper to ad-
dress you few words in relation to the
present business facilities of the road.
When the company was formed it was
their intention to run the road on their
own account, but failing to make an ar
rangement with the Troy & Boston Rail
road Co, for connection by which our
road could be run and pay expenses, it was
leased to Gov. Smith. whe has associated
with him in the lease, the Hoa. John B.
Page. In mixing the lease the Company
provided for the running of trains to &C.
commodate the business of the line, both

able to run the road in such manner as

business and travelling public, and with
reasonable profits to themselves.

from whom they took the lease instituted

breaches of covenant in the lease to keep
the road and its appcndagcs, in good re.
par, upon which portion of the person.
al property of tho Company was attached.
1t is claimed by the plaintiffs that SO

lease wore out the iron rails, and suffered

1t the end of the lease the road, which
vas comparatively new at its commence
