SHARP RAILROAD FIGuT AT MONTPELIER.
Gen. Burt's new road, the Boston ,HOosac
Tunnel and Western, runs for six miles
throug the town Of Pownsl. and has been
located close beside the Troy and Greenfield
road, owned by the State OF Massachusetts,
and leased by the Troy and Boston, in some
cases encrosching on the edge of the latter's
rusd-bed. Alter the road was located, under
an act Of the Massachusetts, Legislature and
the general railroad law OF Vermont, and in
a good measure built, the Troy and Boston
brought bill in the United States Court
to enjoin its construction. 1t would take
time to get decision on this. so bill was
introduced this session into the Legislature
in adoption and ratification of the Massa
chusetts act, which allowed the new line to
occupy as much OF the old road-bed as
was not necessary for the use Of the old
road. The Troy and Boston claim that
they need every foot of their land for
line Claims that its survey has left room
enough for a double track. and that it is
impossible to get the line through without
encroachiDg on the old rosd-bed in some
places. Five hearings have been held
before the committee, and a great mass Of
testimony put in. Gen. Burt appeared for
his road. assisted by his counsel, A. F.
