options have been secured on lai2,
number of shares OF the Brattlebor'
street railroad stock and the Brattlebort
lGas Light company stock. and. while

understood that interests outside thos'
two companies are trying to Bet contro
of the stock with tho ultimate object T.
extending the street railroad through
IIinsdalc, ~ H., to Mortified, Mass. II
is also stated that il this is done 4
street railroad line will he EXTENDED
from Greenfield Mass. to Mortified Il
meet the Brattleboro line. The attitud.
of the officials of the companies in evad
ing direct questions and of refusing t.
deny the rumor is taken as indicating
that it is correct. An out-of-town promo
ter has been in Brattlcboro several days
holding conference with those who natur-
ally would be interested in such schem.

it is claimed the Gas Light company
could furnish power for the road at a
much smaller expense than is now borne
by the railroad company in making its
own power.
