THE ELECTRIC ROAD.
Delay Caused by Settlement With the Misses
Durham.


Probably the last impeiim mt to
successful completion of the extension
of the Bennington and North Adams
Electric railroad has been practically
arranged and nothing now seems to
exist to prevent the completion of the
road in time
The recent trouble has been that
some of the property owners through
whose farms the road is to pass, were
not satisfied with the amounts that the
company was willing to pay. The farm
owned by the Misses Durham, now
rented 10y Geo. Austin is one of those
in question. When the road was in
contemplation, at the request of those
( interested, board OF commissioners
Of which Deputy Sheriff John Nash is
one, appraised the land damages at
$50 an acre for the meadow land thro'
which the road would pass and the pas
ture land at S25 an acre.
The owners were not satisfied with
this appraisal and the state railroad
commissioners went over the land and
after d careful investigation came to
the conclusion that the sum awarded
by the commissioners was fair and eq-
uitable. Since then there has been a
failure to settle but yesterday, r. w
Maloney of Rutland came down as at
torney for the Misses Dunham and
others interested.
A consultation was held with otlici
ais of the road and attorneys and the
matter was finally adjusted, the Miss
es Durham were awarded about 500
and the railroad company will pay the
money as soon as the necessary pap
ers can be made out. The amount or
iginally awarded by the commission
ers has been on deposit in one of tht
banks here for severa months.
