Now the ElectricS.

To an observer there seems now to be
no good reason why the electric road be-
tween Bellows Falls and Saxtons River
should not be built at once. The pro-
moters of the road have been granted prac-
tically everything they have asked for, and
the special town meeting last week was q
remarkable demonstration of kindly teel-
ing. Each citizen who contributed his
mite to the debate prefaced his remarks
with protuse demonstrations of good wishes
for the road and Its promoters. A thou
sand dollars toward the land damages was
cheerfully voted and what the people of the
town want now is to have the road built
and have it built at once.
We believe the directors intend to build
the road and build it as soon as they can.
A hearty cooperation on the part Of the
directors and the people of the town will
expedite matters and will bring to old
Rockingham what we believe will be an
important factor in the growth and welfare
of the community.
