By an article placed in the warning of the
coming town meeting, the subject matter of
a Railroad will again be brought up for the
tax payers to consider. Correspondence has
been held with several parties regarding the
construction of an electric line from Water
bury to Stowe, without any positive knowl-
edge of the expense which in fact cannot be
determined until thorough examination of
the route is made. 1t is supposed that the
line, including grading and equiping, will cost
dDOuU NlOO,OOO. HIS is lOuHu On dsSump-
ton that motive power can be obtained at
some one of The mill privileges on, or near the
line. On an examination and survey of the
route estimates are liable to vary somewhat
from the above. The people of Stowe must
be well aware by this time that if a road is
ever built here, that they must make a heroic
effort in it's behalf and throw no obstacles in
the way. We have been twice before called
upon to vote the credit of the town for the
same purpose and have done it cheerfuly.
Once for $40 900 and the other time for $50, :
600 Now we may be asked to do even more.
1t will be heavy tax and may burden many,
but to get the road and make Stowe a pro-
gressive town, it will require the united and
cheerful effort of all. 1t will matter but lit
tie with the few aged fathers and mothers in
town, whether or not there is a railroad, but
to the hundred and thousands of young peo-
pie hereafter TO live in Stowe, it is a matter
of undoubted Importance. This matter is
introduced previous to town meeting, not to
improperly influence any one in the matter,
but to think over the subject and be prepared
to lay aside all personal objections and look
to what may be for the future interests of
