VICINITY GLEANINGs,
A New Railroad.

To Connect Springfield and Bellows
Falls Considered by Business Men of
the Former Towns and Fitchburg
Railroad officials.
The building of railroad between Bel
lows Falls and Springfield was considered
at meeting of 80 business men of Spring
field and officials of the Fitchburg railroad
at the hotel Adnabrown in that town on
Thursday night of last week. The gath
ering was called to order by Adna Brown
after a banquet. President Marcy of the
Fitchburg road, Rodney Wallace of Fitch
burg and E. j. Thayer of Keene spoke of
the advantages to be gained by Springfield,
and urged that the town must expect to
pay literally for the road. Remarks were
also made by j, w. Pierce. A. NJ. Allbee,
f. &. Davis, Rev. Thos. Bickford, r. NJ.
Colburn and James Hartness, all empha-
sizing the need of a road. Geo A. Aver
stated that the Dorwin Construction com
pany of New York had given Mr.. Brown
written proposition to build the road
complete, with side tracks, stations, etc,
ready to operate, for $4,000, and that
now was the time it could be built the
cheapest. In reply to interrogations, Pres
ident Marcy said the key to the situation
lay in securing right of way, terminal fa-
cilties, etc, of the Central Vermont into
Bellows Falls over their line from Williams
Rock, so called This the Black River
railroad needed to secure first, then there
would be no question as to the success of
the enterprise. Mr.. Brown said it was 60
ing to be either a steam road so Bellows
Falls or an electric line to Charlestown.
Mr.. Forbush thought the times were ripe
for the building of the road and that
Springfield would do its share for the road.
The Reporter says that "the meeting was
a successful affair inasmuch as the whole
thing has been brought nearer to focus
than ever before" and that if matters
can be arranged with the Central Vermont
trains will be running into Springfield
by December next"
