Another interesting contention is in
progress between the managers of the
| Brattleboro street railroad and the town

| on Canal street. The company petitioned
the selectmen for location for a switch
two weeks ago and were given one, but as
it was not entirely satisfactory, the COM
pany appealed to the bailif1s who concurred
with the selectmen. The objections of the
railroad company to the location granted
were the inconvenience in running time,
greater danger OF accidents and expense
of securing land, as part of the track
| would be laid upon land belonging to ex-
by the selectmen, whose objection to grant
| ing the location which the company desired,
at the foot OF Washington street, was that
teams would be obliged to cross four rails
instead of two. Being unable to agree
upon location in that part of the street,
the company again petitioned for loca-
ton near the Estey place and Canal street
schoolhouse. This was also refused by
| the selectmen, who consider their first
grant as the most desirable. The railroad
company has appealed to the board of state
| railroad commissioners to come here and
grant them location.
