liminary survey for a railroad from Mont.

: sible and practicable route between the

The roll Of names Of Committee was
called aud all answed who were present.
but owing TO the unusually bad condition
OF the roads there we're several towns rep.
resented by only one member, and several
unreprsented. MIR. Judevine moved to
have the vacancies filed in the partially
represented towns, which was done. Mr.. !
Judevinc and Mr.. Wells spoke at some
length in regard to the survey and its cost
on the different routes. Mr.. Pitkin said
by the best and closet calculation that
could be made it would cost SO, 500 or
$50 per day, and one hundred days. O
the above estimate as the basis, T
the above towns were assessed as follows: c
Montpelier, 500; East Montpelier. "
500; Calais, 1925 Woodbury.. sI25 {,
Hardwick, $3.50; Craftsbury, 5000 AL. 4
bany, sl5O; lrasburgh, $500; Coventry,
sI5Oi Newport, $3.50; Troy, 5000 y
hiddlesex, $50; Worcester, 500; El. a
more, SIS; Wolcott, s75; Westfcld. pl
500; Lowell, Sl25; Eden, 500; Cabot.
1926; Marshfeld, $50. .,
Fir. Wallace thought the assessment
gainst Cabot too large, for only a small
'ortion of the town would be interested
nd thought it very doubtful about the
being raised. The following res. he
ton was offered by Mr.. Judevinc: in
ReSOlged. That an Executive Commit. ~.
&c of ten be elected, for the purpose of
recurring an engineer and assistants, to ?"
the several routes from Newport yet
: Troy through the Black River Valley
Montpelier, and each town that raises
Inds for this survey shall elect on what

ut no route is to be surveyed unless suE.

After a few remarks by Mr. Parker in ma.

Mr.. Pitkin, Mr.. Judevine, DR.. Wal IN t

Dwinell and Hancock. Mr.. Pit phe

could not do justice to all parties as be beic
deadly opposed, as well as the town oil 6
represented, to the Cabot route, and huri
