The state railroad commissioners
were in Bellows Falls Wednesday and
yesterday, inspected the depot there
and held a hearing afterwards in II.
ID. Ryder's office. Eight witnesses tes-
titled as to the sanitary conditions at
the depot and the poor accommoda-
tions there for passengers. The cross
ing near the Wilson grain store was
also pronounced dangerous. George d.
Jarvis, general manager Of the uutland
road, said plans had been made to re
pair the depot, increasing the floor
space by over 300 feet, with an addition,
if necessary. on to the south end of the
station. The estimated expense would
be about s., 600 The danger in APP
preaching the depot could be avoided
by making it by way of Bridge and Is
land streets. The changes suggested
by the Board of Trade were not favored
by the railroad officials Judge Ross
said he did not understand that the
commissioners have a right to advise a
change in the location of depot. 1t
is expected that the result of the Board
of Trades petition to the commission
ers will simply be that the plans of the
road will he carried out.

LIVE STATE TOPICS.
Political Points of Interest Gathered From
the Local Field

a petition for the pardon of three
boys sentenced for perjury is being lib
orally signed at Brattleboro. The per
jury was in connection with a liquor
case. We know nothing about the
facts and we assume that Judge Stat
ford knew what he was about when he
sent these lads to prison for two years
and a half, but we think that if the
bench had been filled with Statfords
for a generation or two back more
prisons would have been necessary in
this state. One of the doleful features
of our present law is the way it en-
courages perjury. Men accept salaries
