Taken Ep June g.

At meeting Saturday of the com
mittee of fifteen" which has in charge
the proposed new u ion station tor
Burlington, il was decided to grant n
request made by the attorneys for the
Rutland and Central Vermont rail-
roads for a continuance of the hearing
before the public service commission.
set for tomorrow.
The continuance Of the hearing was
agreed to because of the fact that at a.
meeting held recently in Boston be-
tween officials of the New Haven and
Grand Trunk railways. at which the
Rutland railroad was also represented,
negotiations were opened between the
first named roads looking toward a
settlement of their traffic difficulties in
Vermont. It was also suggested in n
letter to the public service commits
sion written by Attorney f. w. Law
renee Of the Rutland road, that the
Central Vermont officials would be
| willing to have the station matter
postponed until the Grand Trunk and
New Haven had arrived at an agree
ment.
On the understanding that such G

sidered prejudrcial to the interests OF
the union station project, and that the
matter of building union station
hero must necessarily come after the
railroads had settled their difficulties
the committee agreed TO the drafting
and adoption of the following resolu-
| ton:
Resolved. That we consent to a con-
| tinuance of the hearing set for the
| 2Srd instant for two weeks. upon the
request of the railroads for the pur-
pose of allowing the railroads an OPP
pcrtunity to confer together with a
view to entering into an agreement by
which the companies will construct a
new union depot in the city of Bur-
lington.
copy of this resolution will be sent
to the public service commission. This
advances the date of hearing in Bur
lirgton to June 9.
