NO CHARLTON TUNNEL.
President Bliss Of B. and A. Road Denies
Current Rumors About Charlton Grade.

For some time past, a party of sur
veyors has been at work in the field
near Charlton, situated near Worcester.
where the Boston and Albany road has
one OF it's heaviest grades, and this has
given rise to report that the company
is considering the building Of a tunnel
at this point A tunnel would be an
expensive undertaking at this place, but
it would shorten the distance somewhat
and would do away with a heavy grade.
President Bliss, however, settled the ru-
NOR this afternoon by stating that the
company, so far as he knows, does not
contemplate anything of the kind, and
he does not expect that the suggestion
will come before the Boston and Albany
directors. He says the surveying party
is one of the regular field parties which
are kept at work on different parts OF
the line most Of the time, but there is
no intention of building tunnel near
Charlton. No surveys for this purpose
have been made, and the matter has
never been mentioned in the directors
meetings.-Boston Transcript.
