AT the hearing in Bradford last week
to determine the question of depot at
flermont station, it was decided that
the depot facilities were sufficient for the
locality and that petitioners should paw
the 5000 cost of the effort. The P;er-
mont crossing is but mile below the
Bradford depot. and the Bradford people
seeing possibility of losing their own
depot IN case Piermont won, took hold
earnestly to defeat the project. Of course
every crossing would like depot. but
the hgures show that the Passumpsic
railroad already has more depots in pro-
portion to its length than any other road
IN the state. We believe the Central
averages q depot every six miles. while
the Passumpsic averages one every four
and half miles.
