FROM BANCROFT TO HoULToN.
General Manager Burpee, who, with few Ban
gor and New York capitalists, is interested in the
proposed road from Bancroft to Houlton, dis
lance of about forty miles, said recently to
sentative of the Calais Times that the work of sur
veying the route will be pushed on as rapidly as
possible, and that the intention is to begin the &C.
tual work of construction as the snow leaves
the ground. Before the ground is broken, Mr.. Bur-
pee states all land damages will be settled. Many
OF those who live along the route will give the
right of way over their land they are anxious to
have the road built at once In answer to q oueg-
ton about the cost of the proposed road. Mr.. Bur-
pee said he thought the road could be completed
stock for from $11 900 to $I2, 900 mile. In his
estimation the read can be completed this season
and then he thinks it would be better not lay the
rails until another season, but to give it chance
SETTLE The demands of business, however would
possibly be such, he continued, that it would be
necessary to lay part of the rails at least this year.
During the interview Mr.. Burpee stated that it is
the intention after the road is built to Houlton to
continue to Presque Isle, and in time to complete
Inc EaliIOAu system winch Ar00stoOk 80 much
needs. Mr.. Burpee said that when one thinks of
the county being as large as the entire State of
Massachusetts,, it is evident that there must be an
