The plans of construction, with
profiles and maps, Of the proposed
trolley between Stafford and Rock
Vile have been left with the town
clerk and with the borough clerk.
The route is the most sensible thus far
proposed and there will probably be
no serious objection to it. The ter
minal, according to the plans, will be
opposite the Central Vermont passen-
ger station. The line takes in Orys-
tai Lake and West Stafford, and goes
directly south Of the fair grounds.
Entrance to the village is at the iron
bridge of the Central Vermont rail
road, over the Faulkner mill pond.
The proposed line will go directly
over the middle of the railroad bridge,
and will be about 40 feet from the
level Of the stream. IL will enter
Main street ut the little three -cornered
park opposite VIM. Lees house. The
only serious obstacle is the Dennis
Newell house, as the line passes
through . corner of the residence. In
accordance with the statute of 1905
the selectmen will give a hearing to
all parties interested at the town hall

poses. Charles Rufus Harte, assistant
