| State of Vermont.
Your petitioners respectfully represent:

a railroad from Springfield in the State of Massa-

ticut northerly through the State of Massachu-
sets to the northerly line of the state of Massa

of Vernon to the town of Bratteboro in the State
of Vermont.
That, heretofore, for great many years. union
station has been maintained by your petitioners at
South Vernon near the line between the States of
| Vermont and Massachusetts, and your petitioners
| believe that said station is so located that the
southerly part thereof is in the State Of Massachu
Sets That said station is old, dilapidated, small
| and insufficient to accommodate the business of
| that vicinity.
That 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 rail-
road accommodation
That recently 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 petition
ers' railroad tracks.
That by reason of the increase of population in
said Mortified and said alterations in said public
highway. passenger station located about four
hundred feet southerly of the present passenger
station at said South Vernon. will accommodate
the people, as 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 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 in
tend to erect such new passenger station about
four hundred feet south of the present station at
South Vernon during the coming summer, and
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 not sufficient business in that vicin-
ity to require the maintaining of two passenger
stations for the accommodation thereof
Wherefore, your petitioners pray that your Hon
orable Board will take this matter into consdera-
ton, fix upon time and place for 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 Honorable Board

ent passenger station at South Vernon so soon as
the new station located as aforesaid shall be COM

such other and further relief in the premises as to
your Honorable Board shall seem meet and the cir
