 The bill of the Holland County Street Railway company, authorizing the further extension of the local elsotric railroad, has passed the house. The bill provides that the company be authorized to build to the state line in Massachusetts, through Staff ford and Stafrordville, beginning at the present terminus on Furnace eYepue. This much of the bill amounts to Q further extension of the old charter, but there is another article embodied. This relates to bnlIding a track from the Hale school houae in Rockville, thence through Vernon Center to a connection near Vernon with the Rockville branch of the A. r., N. H. & H. railroad com- peny. When this connection is built Ik will do away with the necessity of running loaded freight cars through the streets of Rockville.
