The business men of the town as we'll
as the general public are very much dis
satisfied with the new time table on the
Central Vermont railroad. Many pro-
tests have been sent to the management
Of the road, the postal authorities have
been asked to intercede and a petition
will probably be drawn up and circulated
for general signatures. If the manage
ment persists in putting the town to such
serious disadvantage, strenuous efforts
will be made for another railroad con-
nection. The New York, New Haven
and Hartford road has already been ap-
preached to see If there is any hope for
the steam road connection between Rock
Vile and Southbridge which has been
talked of formerly. Considerable bust
ness will be pledged If the railroad people
think favorably Of the project. In case
the steam road cannot be secured efforts
will be made to get an electric road con-
nection. The building of an electric
road from Rockville to this town has
been seriously contemplated, and the
present conditions may have tendency
to hasten action. It is also probable
that the Palmer and Monson electric road
could be induced to extend their line to
this town II it could be shown that suffi-
cient amount of business could be Sc
cured as result. The people are thor
oughly In earnest about having better
facilities of communication with the out
side world. The present conditions are
very disagreeable. Mail matter and
newspapers do not get here until late in
the forenoon, and 1t Is almost impossible
to get to Springfield and back the same
day IL much business Is to be transacted.
A trip to Boston has-no possibility of a
return the same day. The anger that
was manifested when the change fret
became known has given place to a
solemn determination on the part of the
public to have better service from the
Central Vermont or from some Other
source.
Arrival of exhibits, fakirs and members
of the entertainment bureau, commenced
early Monday morning and steady stream
Of express, freight. people, cattle and
horses have been arriving ever since
Fair week Is always lively in Stafford anc
this year is no exception. r. r.
