The Electric Road.

The trouble over the proposed route tor
the electric road is unfortunate but not in
superable. We think we are not far from
the truth when we say that the public OF
Bellows Falls and Saxtons River with very
few exceptions are heartily in favor OF the
construction of the roaC and the few who
oppose the road probably do so from pri-
vate interest rather than any burning desire
to conserve the public good. The people
believe that the building and successful
operation of the road will be factor in
the business development of the town, No
community can grow and cling too closely
to primeval traditions. If we have electric
lights and telephones and street railroads
and free delivery som body i, sure to be
lnconvenienced. OF course private rights
are to be respected, but the public good is
always paramount. +; if this were not the
case there would be no such term in law as
the right of eminent domain.
No one who carefully studies the situa.
ton can blame the people on Pine street
from entering vigorous protest against
raising that street six feet above the pres.
ent road bed at the head of Burt Place
especially if the street must be graded it'
entire width. But luckily the railroad
company is not obliged to follow the high
way; it has the right of eminent domain
and can take private property and build it
road where it chooses. 1t may cost NOR,
money, but pacific course will max,

The Boston & Maine in New Hamp-
shire.

When the Manchester and Milford rail-
road bill came up in the house of repre-
sentatives at Concord, Hon. A. I. Bat
chelder OF Keene placed before his fellow
members some interesting statistics regard
ing the Boston & Maine and the Fitch
burg railroads in the state of New Hamp-
shire. He said in part The Fitchburg
road has only 537 stockholders who are
residents OF the state of New Hampshire,
while the Boston & Maine has 60S6 stock
holders who are residents of this state. OF
the Fitchburg stock $S20,0C0 is owned by
New Hampshire citizens, nearly one-half
of which is owned in the city of Keene.
''Those 60S6 stockholders to whom l
refer-citizens of New Hampshire-own,
in the Boston & Maine system, in stock,
S,237 400. Upon that New Hampshire
stockholdiog, over million dollars is paid
annually in dividends, the last dividend be-
ing 81, ,038, 262, while the dividend of the
Fitchburg to its New Hampshire stock
holders was $32,600. The Boston &
Maine corporation pays into the state
tr reasury over 100000 annually in taxes,
the last tax being S308, 492, while the
Fitchburg pays to the state OF New Hamp-
shire little over 1926, 900, the last tax be-
ing 1926, 6,546."

the grave of another victim" No one should

vertsing patronage. Rutland already has
an excellent morning paper in the Herald,
