A Bill Which Did Not Pass.

A bill of local interest which did not
pass the recent legislature was House bill
No. 40S, introduced by Mr.. PettengIll Of
Grafton and referred to the committee on
railroads. 1t never got farther than the
committee. Section one provides as fol-
lows:
"W. E. L. Walker, A. G. R ce, Chss
S. White, Harlan Phelps, Hall Staples, T
Park, c. L. Park, l.. S. Wslker, Z. H.

H. Holton, 5. c. Moorehouse and D. A,
Blskeslee and their associates, successor:
and assigns are hereby constituted a body
corporate, by the name of the Grafton and
Saxtons River Railway company, for the
purpose and with the right of constructing,
maintaining and operating street railway
in the towns of Grafton and Rockingham
and villages of Grafton, Cambridgep9r
and Saxtons River, and of transporting
persons and property thereon for hire; and
by that name may sue and be sued, m ~
have corporate seal, and shall have al
the rights incident to corporations "
The capital stock was to be $4,000,
which amount might be incr ased from time
to time a, the bushes, demanded. If
the company did not begin the construction
within ten years the charter was to be void.
Fares and tolls might be fixed by county
court on proper application, but it should
not fix them so low that the company could
not pay a dividend of at least ten per cent
per annum upon its capital stock.
There are other Legislatures coming, and
it is probable that a charter will be
secured sometime.

viii Establish a Steam Plant.

The Fall Mountain Electric Light anu
Power company announces to its patrons
that it Is perfecting plans for building .
steam auxiliary plant where comPls"
duplicate generating plant will be hrla III
reserve. 1t is stated that the latest IN d ru
apparatus will be installed and in general
everything will be done to make the ser
vice modern in all respects. The PAM
will be located near the present plant ano
work on the foundation will be begun at
once. 1t is expected that the new auxli'
iarv will be in full operation early in the
spring it will be OF sufficient power to
drive the entire plant and interruptions
from breskdowns. logs, ETC., will no longer
have to be tolerated, Another advantage
will be con.tant additional power which
can be drawn upon in case the plant is
over burdened, as ba, sometimes been the
case. TIE company is now supplying
about 60 horsepower to motors about
town, Under the new arrangement all
motors will be run by independent lines In
stead cf con bination lines as now. When
the proposed changes have been effected
the company expect to have modem
plant adequate to the needs OF the COM
munity.
