Our worthy contemporary, the Times,
takes up the cudgels this week in favor
of new railroad station for Bellows
Falls. We have always contended
strongly that we needed a new station
here, and certainly the need does not
grow less as time wears on. The tumble
down building now trying to do duty in
this capacity is a disgrace. not only to
the village but to the railroads who
use it. 1t is high time a better one was
given us
The electric railroad last week received
an addition to their rolling stock equip
ment of another passenger car. 1t is an
old style car formerly used in Worces-
ter Mass. 1t is an enclosed car without
vestibules and with seats running length
wise. II has been repainted and lettered
for this railroad and will be used as an
extra car whenever required 1t Is heated
by a coal stove, somewhat in contrast
to the regular cars which are heated by
electricity.
DIR. c. T. Clark a dentist well known In
this vicinity, having had offices at Sax
tons River. Walpole. and other points,
has now decided to locate permanently
in Bellows Falls He has a suite of
rooms which have this week been ar
ranged for his occupancy in the Wilson
Block next the post Office, formerly oc-
cupicd by the Wheel club. He has this
week moved into the upper tenement in
A n. SWANS house on Iapgood street,
the one recently occupied by F. l..
Thompson.
The new closed car which was bought
last week for use on the Bellows Falls
and SaXtons River Electric railway the
coming winter, was found to have a mar
row tread, and the company are now
awaiting the arrival of new wheels which
are expected before long. This will make
a very creditable amount of rolling
stock for the coming winter. So far. the
summer schedule of cars has been follow
ed, as the traffic has fully warranted 1t.
Ii has not as yet been fully decided when
the second car is TO be taken off, or
whether 1t will be done at all. The cars
are running on extremely good time. and
the road is giving good satisfaction to all
except those who are bound to find fault
anyway, All indications point to good
winter
