After much discussion the old gentle

play one more game and to be present
as witness, much as he disliked the

With his ulster collar about his ears,
his face enveloped in frowns and his
hands in his pockets, the stern man Of

lar committee and in this way some
plans will result Two routes to Hins-
dale are suggested, one on the east and
the other on the west side of the Con-
nectlcut river. There is some enthusi.
asm manifested by the Vernon people
for the west side route, which would
take in their town, crossing the river
Just below the Withheld place. Hins-
dale and Vernon have long discussed
the advisability of building bridge to
connect the two places, and now that
the line is possibility it is believed
there is more probability of its con-
struction. While the route is little
longer on the wet side of the river, it
is argued that this would necessitate the
building of but one bridge, while if it
went across the island and down the
east sidetwo bridges would be required.
