r. The directors of the Brattleboro Street
railroad company have made solicitations
for stock the past week, and while they
have met with fair success there seems to

until the necessary stock is subscribed, and
they wish that the friends of the road would
rally quickly to take the amount needed.
1t was hoped to secure the necessary sum
this week, so that the contract could be
closed, but nothing further will be done
until 5000 in stock is taken in addition to
that already subscribed.
