Col. Kittredge Haskins was in Boston
Friday with other commissioners for Yer
mont, New Hampshire and Massachusetts
on the question of the boundary lines be-
tween New Hampshire and Massachusetts.
The commissioners will meet here August
10, when some conclusion will probably be

South Vernon railroad station, though
some have contended that it ran directly
through the building.
