RAILWAY DEVELOPMENT

Reports of important electric rail
road combinations are being quietly
whispered. 1t is said that the organ,
ization of Il company with several
million dollars behind it, is under
consideration to take in the Barre q
Montpelier electric road, the White
River valley electric road, and the
Mad river valley electric road.
The last two companies have char
tiers only, and the company that is
under contemplation is to build and
equip the roads, all of which will be
under one management.
The White River Valley road has
charter to run from Barre to East
Barre and the quarries, into a sec.
ton of Williamstown and Orange.
The Mad River road is chartered to
run from Montpelier to Waitsfeld
and Warren.
A New y DIRK man with large
financial backing is said to be be-
hind the scheme. He has visit
ed Montpelier with the direc-
tors of the Barre and Montpel Ell
road, and it is said that civil engi-
ncers have gone over the route to
estimate the cost. Important de-
vclopme nts will take place in a few
DAYS one way or the other.
