This is the way it looks to the Mont
Ipeler Argus: "The town of Rockingham
has voted at special meeting to allow
a deeper cut in the village streets than tn
selectmen had granted the electric roa,
and also voted to pay $1,000 toward tn
Expense OF making the cut. Thus the onl
difficulty remaining in the way of construct
ling an electric railroad from Bellows Fall
\ Ito Saxtons River is removed and the worl
\ is expected to begin at once. The con
struction of electric roads holds out s,
|: much promise for the development OF tn
! state, by opening up communication will
y sections now untouched by railroads, tina
any reasonable concessions may well b.
granted. The industrial development o
h Vermont is coming slowly, but it will com
\ and the electric road will be one of tn
! lgreat agencies in promoting it."
