To all whom it may concern
Whereas, the Boston & Maine Railroad and the
Central Vermont Railway Company have filed with
this Commission a petition which is in the words
and figures following:
ITO John W. Redmond. s. HOLSTER Jackson and
Eli b. Porter. Public Service Commission in and
for the State of Vermont.
Your petitioners respectfully represent:
That the Boston & Maine Railroad is operating
q railroad from Springfield in the State of Massa-
chusetts and thence northerly across the town of
Vernon in the State of Vermont: and that the
Central Vermont Railway Company is operating a
railroad from New London in the State Of Con-
~necticut northerly through the State of Massa-
chusetts to the northerly line of the State of
Massachusetts, and thence northerly through the
town of Vernon to the town of Brattleboro in the
State Of Vermont.
That, heretofore, for a great many years. a
union station has been maintained by your petit
TONERS at South Vernon near the line between the
petitioners believe that said station is SO located
that the southerly part thereof is in the State of
Massachusetts. That said station is old, dilapi-
dated, mall and insufficient to accommodate the
business of that vicinity.
That a large village has grown up in the town of
Mortified in the State of Massachusetts. That
the inhabitants of said village and of the town of
Mortified have heretofore been compelled to come
to said passenger station at South Vernon for
railroad accommodation.
That recently a board of railroad commissioners
in the State of Massachusetts has ordered certain
alterations in the highway leading from said vii
lage of Mortified to said passenger station at
South Vernon for the purpose of avoiding certain
grade crossings of said highway over your petit
toners railroad tracks.
| That by reason of the increase of population in
said Mortified and said alterations in said public
highway a passenger station located about four
hundred feet southerly of the present passenger
station at said South Vernon, will m
the people. as a whole, having business with your
petitioners, very much better than the present
passenger station at South Vernon.
That since said alterations were ordered in the
highway in said town of Mortified. your petition
ers have agreed upon plans for and the construc-
ton of a new passenger station to be located in
said town of Mortified on the easterly side of
your petitioners railroad tracks and about four
hundred feet southerly of the present passenger
station at South Vernon. and your petitioners
intend to erect such new passenger station about
four hundred feet south of the present station at
fully intend to have the same completed and ready
for the use of the public in the summer or early
fall of 1909.
That there is not sufficient business in that
vicinity to require the maintaining of two passen-
ger stations for the accommodation thereof.

sideration, fix upon a time and place for a hearing
in the premises and give such notice thereof as
the law requires, and that, upon full hearing. if
the facts are found as herein alleged. your Honor
able Board will order and direct the discontinuanee
