Canadian points on the Brand Trunk
is so heavy that The road has been
obliged to temporarily lease a
steamer, the City of Fall River, to
assist the regular lines, Mohegan
and Mohawk, on the water end Of
the route. Extra trains north from
New London are being run to re-
lieve the congestion at that city.
The two new freighters, recently
launched by the Central Vermont
Transportation Co., will be placed
in commission early in the summer.
Although there is considerable In
crease in the through Western SER
vice, there is corresponding de-
crease in the freight business from
Western points to points in New
England. 1t is probable that there

fic until after the tariff question has
been settled. There is at the pres
ent time, an extra heavy travel OF
