L. II. Matters.

a petition has been circulated in Fair.
field for town meeting to change the
conditions Of the towns subscription to
the LaamoileH alley Railroad. The con-
ditions were that the road should ran ON
the west side of Black Greek, and depot
should be erected within mile and a bali
of the Center. 1.-THE road can run on the
east side it will save have mile in dis
lance, and $15, 000 in money. The pre-
liminary survey runs through East Fair
field, but touches neither the Center village
nor Bakersf, Ii village. 1t is considered
sAoubtful if, the town will change its condi-
c ms.
The locating survey of the roads com
posing the Portland & Ogdensburgh line
is making good progress, though it must
necessarily consume considerable time
Besides the engineer and party at work in
Swanton there is one at Walden summit,
working this way, and in few days Mr.
Mitchell of Portland will commence tc
locate the road between Walden and the
Connecticut river. The directors of the
Portland q Ogdensburg Railroad Com
pany last Thursday awarded the contract
for building the road from Portland tc
the foot of Lake Sebago to Messrs. Ii. A
Fuller and W. II. Harding, Of New York
The contract provides for the grading o
the road bed and the construction of al
bridges. Ground will be broken as soor
as the contractors can get their men or
the ground.
