The Work Almost Ompleted---Wire
VIII BE Put In Place During the VIM
ter and Cars VIII Start Early I'm the
Spring.
Owing to the unusually favorable wealth
or of the past few months, the work upon
the electric road to Saxtons River will be
almost entirely completed this fall, leaving
but very little to be done when spring
opens. The poles are all set The grad
ing is fully completed, the iron is laid and
and the road bed partially ballasted from
the square to a point just beyond the Bar
Der farm buildings, three-fourths of the
way to Saxtons Rixer, and the present in
dications are 1t will be completed the rest
of the way before the ground freezes sol
idly. One of the two bridges across the
river, that opposite the Howard farm, is
completed and the other one entering Sax
tons River village can probably be put on
during the winter, nothing having been
done toward it as yet. 1t is not intended
to tear up the pavement in the square
this winter, because of the Inconvenience
to traffic, but that will be short job in
the spring. The wire for conducting the
current will probably be put in place dur
ing cold weather, and after the ground
thaws in spring there will be but little re-
manning to be done to put the road in OPP
Grafton. Nothing has been done by the
Bellows Falls electric light company to-
ward arranging for the power, although
the railroad people say the arrangements
are entirely completed for furnishing it
when wanted 1t is probably possible TO
put the additional dynamos needed into
the same building at present used, but 1t
has been understood the plant was to be
rebuilt and enlarged during this winter.
