 Locations have been granted by the railroad commissioners in several Worcester and Hampden county towns, whereby the Hartford and Worcester street railway company gets the nec- essary locations in that state for the through line between the cities Much dispute has occurred over the bit of road through the northwest angle of Oxford, rival interests oppos- ing it. The Hartford and Worcester company petitioned for a location there, and the selectmen took no mo- tice for three months. Then the company brought the case before the railroad commissioners, according to law. It appeared at the hearing that the company had already been grant ed and accepted locations in Charlton and Leicester, lying on each side of the bit of location desired in Oxford. No remonstrance was presented at the hearing, and the desired location is therefore granted The location through Oxford is on the Hartford and Worcester turnpike. Detailed regulations are made, one of which is that the company shall, at it's own expense, provide such additional room to the public highway as may be nec- essary to secure 8 suitable way for carriages separate from the railway. The work must be done within IS months from date. Accompanying orders provide for the location of the tracks in Charlton in the highway and on private land, in Holland on the highway, and in Brimfeld upon the town highway and the state high way.
