The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1900-04-18

We do not know who is to take the COM
ing census in our place. John Lynde, Jr.,
took it, the last two decades, and il all the
available candidates for the work were to
hear him relate his experience in this mat
ter, we think they would hardly be tumbl-
ing over each other to get the job.
The printed rumor struck our town last
Saturday evening that the new MANAGE
ment Of the Central Vermont railroad will
extend the road this year from here to Roy
alton, and make 1t the main lire from Mont
peler to Royalton, thus shortening the
time to Boston an hour. AT once there be-
gan to be discussed the probable permanent
effect upon our town OF such a move, and it
was holly contended on one side that 1t
would greatly damage it, The pros and
cons will now be sought for in good earnest
in this discussion, and it is hoped the form
er will preponderate, if the road is to be
built
