Agreement for Railroad Station Inn.
provements.


The railroad commissioners held Tues
day what may possibly be the last hear
ing upon the petition of the board of
trade for a new passenger station. The
meeting was held in the office of Charles
II. Williams, who, in connection with
II. d. Ryder, has represented the cit
liens throughout the controversy and
all members of the board were here with
the exception of Mr.. Bingham. The en-
gineers of the railroads presented to
the commissioners specific plans for
changes in the present building. and for
Improvements outside, which were much
more satisfactory to our citizens than
the talk made at the last hearing
when il was agreed to leave the whole
matter of remodelling the station to the
commissioners. The offer of the rail-
road company is now so satisfactory, as
the best compromise possible that the
roads and board of trade practically
agreed upon the plans and proposed
changes to be made without troubling
the commissioners further with the mat
ter. Although it had been hoped to
secure n new station, and in another To-
cality, the arrangement will be an i'm
mense improvement over present con-
ditions. In brief it is proposed to add
l. feet to the south side of the depot the
whole width, remove the restaurant ana
telegraph office. putting them in the
cupied by the baggage room, and have
nothing on the first floor except one or
two large waiting rooms and the toilet
rooms, the latter to be of modern de-
sign instead of a specimen of antiquarian
curio All the platforms are to be COW
cred by what is termed an umbrella
canopy" the platforms themselves be-
ing much extended in each direction
where possible The Wilson grain store
building is to be removed, the unsightly
sheds south of the depot and the small
Fitchhurg freight station. The railroads
are to pave the section used as street
south of the depot while the approach
ing street they claim should be paved by
the town. The plans call for a number
of appropriate improvements about the
grounds and in the railroad yard, and the
railroads are ready to agree that all snail
be completed previous to next January,
A fair degree of satisfaction is expressed
locally, thus ending a somewhat bitter
contest.

blackened and four of his teeth are miss
ing.
The little girl Is in even worse condi-
ton. On the instep OF her right foot Is

cation OF a glowing poker. Portions OF
her stocking had been burned into the
flesh. -Four fresh scars are on her lett

cause the children refused 90 perform

caused by her falling from trapeze
