WHAT OUR NEIGHBORS SAY
Vermont Must Have Trunk Lines Of
Permanent Roads.
(From the Rutland Herald

There Is every evidence that one of
the most important questions to como
before Vermont in n public way during
the next year is that of State roads.
New Hampshire, with her usual fore
sight, has adopted the trunkline theory
and Is putting through three boulevards
from Massachusetts to the White noun
tains. Vermont. after dallying with such
matters as State fair tercentenary
and raise Of pay for members. killed
the trunk-line bill without debate. In fact,
1t was smothered In committee so that
the other extravaganccs had the right Of
way. Sooner or later, as a plain, cold
simple matter Of business, Vermont must
take charge Of her own trunk-lnes and
make them passahle for through travel
or suffer the consequence IN loss Of bust
ness. 1t isn't theory or sentiment, just
| ordinary business.
