MAKING READY FOR THE NEW
 TROLLEY LINE How the Work is Being Car ried on at Present.
WHAT CONTRACTORS
 SAY ABOUT IT.

Description of the Route Over Which
 the Trolley is to Run-cost Per Mile
 of the Work-Army of Workmen
 Ready to Solve the Problem of Con-
 struction-How and Where the La k borers are to Live.
 Work is soon to be started at the Mas saohusetts end on the construction of the trolley road connecting Great Bar rington with Egremont, Sheffield and Canaan. AS all Canaan residents are interested in the development of the trolley road leading to Canaan, the fol lowing from the Pittsfield, Mass. Berk- shire County Eagle describing the work about to be commenced is most timely :
 The work is in charge of the engineer ing firm of Durkee, Towne 6 White, of Springfield, who were the engineers who made the survey of the company's pres ent lines in Berkshire.
 At present there are about TIT men and 27 double teams busy at work on the Egremont line and judging from the manner in which the line is being con- structed the work is to be we'll done. No money is being spared in its con- struction. An Eagle representative was personally shown over the line recently with other newspapermen by A. H, Towne, who is in charge of the job and it is amazing how much has been accom- plished since August IT when the first shovel of dirt was thrown.
 The contractors are the Robinson Con strnotion company, of Westfeld, who are thoroughly familiar with the work The laborers are divided into tbree gangs one at the Baldwin farm, another at the Chapiu farm and the third at the Shy. der farm.
 With the exception of a slight curve about mile from the present treminu, of the liue in Great Harrington, the road will be straight stretch for two miles or more. Considerable rock cutting is being done in order to reach the grade oi the survey. The first work done was the Building of concrete culverts in the vi. cinity of Green River so that the line when in operation will be above the high water during the spring freshets. Huge trees were cut down in the Green River stream which was one of the places where the poet, Bryant, loved to roam about when he livedi in Great Harrington. The taking away of the trees has changed the course of the stream and will pre-. vent water from backing up on ths tracks which would be the case if they
