1t is said that the Consolidated railroad
company has entered protest to the rail
road committe against the freight claus
of the application for the Stafford ant
Rockville electric railroad. An earnes
effort will be made to have this clause re
tanned, as without it it Is feared that tht
road will not be built, as the light freigh
business is necessary to guarantee tina
the road would be paying one, owing tt
the thinly settled country between Stat
ford Springs and Rockville. Staffort
Hollow, Staffordville, West Stafford ant
Wales, which do not now have any rail
road accommodation, would be great,
benefited by the freight advantages
as we'll as the passenger service. Th
road will not parallel any railroad, and i
is hard to see how the committee can re
port against this clause, as it is very nee
essay for the life of the charter, and will
accommodate large number of peopl
who are not now provided for.
