OUR PROMISED NEW RAILROAD STATION.
Last Friday, shortly before one O'Clock P. ~.
ex-Goy. Smith, president of the Central Vermont
railroad company, arrived In town by special train
Tor the purpose OF consultation aud decision with
regard 70 a new passenger station at this place.
GOV, smith was accompanied by his private secre-
tary, Col. Geo. T. Chids, his son E. c. Smith, J.
Sistant superintendent, ], Hurdett superintendent
Of the Rutland division, L. c. SWEET architect and
BROOKS House a company Of prominent citizens
met Gov. smith and his party for consultation with
regard to the proposed new station. some time
was spent IN discussing the subject and the
whole company then adjourned to the railroad
yard to look the ground over. Gov. Smith was
himself strongly IN favor OF building the new sta
ton on the site Of the present engine house, for
the reason that Its location there would best suit
IA
ny, while he thought that that location would a,
the same time, for several reasons, best gubserye
the interests OF the people Of Bratileboro. on
the part OF the citizens present there was q gener-
al feeling that the most desirable place for the sta
tion was on the west side Of the track near the
crossing, where the ledge now stAnds,-a place 10

cOnceding the desirabity Of that location in ma
ny respects, ne railroad management declined to
seriously consider 0 proposition TO place the sta.
ton there on account Of the large expense, moi
less thar $4,000, which would be INVOLVED IN clear
considerable force, L must be admitted, thst AZ
best the quarters for the station should 1t lie built
there, would be contracted and not altogether sat

their opposition 10 having the station built far
away as the engine house site, and AS sort OF fair
nonnced that the company would build the new
station on site Just below The present station.
This decision was generally satisfactory to the cit
liens present, and we think Will be 70 the peo-
pie. The greatest obIectii TO that location lies
In the fact that the track must be crossed to reach
the station This di1nculiy Is not so great howey-
