ing at their disposal the private car Gar
field" and an engine. Commissioner
Begley of Rutland dined at the Van Ness
House on his way home Saturday evening,
being thoroughly tired after tho onerous
work of the week.
The commissioners duty requires that
they carefully examine the rosdbed, track,
every switch. all bridges, all stations and
culverts. They inspected this line from

sioners from being with Commissioned

trial Vermont system Is In much better
condition than when they last inspected it.
The Improvement of the road is very no
ticeabs. All wooden bridges on the main
lines, are, or are about to be- superseded by
subs autial iron structures; miles Of new 60
pound steel rails have taken the place OF
iron rails, and new ties are gradually sup
planting old ones. The bridges on the Hut,
torinly strengthened, Sc that the heaviest
engines are now run to Bellows Falls.

ing the commissioners inspect the Clar-
eudon and Pittsford, Delaware and Hud-
