A railroad ticket 10 years old was
presented at the Montpelier office of
the Central Vermont Railway Co. a
few days ago. The owner, Maine
man, said he purchased two tickets
Aug. 6, 1890, at Wells River for AL
burg Springs, but only used one of
them, as the friend he expected was
to accompany him did not go. He
has retained the ticket all these
years. He did not know that the
railroad companies would redeem it.
The ticket contained stubs good
over the Montpelier & Wells River
railroad between Wells River and
Montpelier, and Montpelier to AL
burg. The Office of issue stamped
on the back was very clear, clearer
in fact than many tickets today,
and was in good state of preser-

it was not limited as to time, being
good until used.

mission announces that most care
full consideration satisfies it that |
public safety and convenience re-
quires that the grade crossings at
White River Junction depot be
abolished and a subway constructed
at cost of $51 ,3l7. A change in
tracks at the depot is also ordered.
The Boston and Maine and Cen
trail Vermont railways are ordered
TO defray the expense, two-thirds
oy the former and one-third by
5he latter, the work to be com
oleted January l, 1910. The COM
mission believes that the construc-
ion of the subway will so clear the
racks of foot traffic that the eff
iciency Of the yards for switching
purposes will be equal to that at
PRESENT despite the readjustment
If tracks.
