Electric railroad development about
Rutland is greater than in any other
part Of Vermont, the company which
controls the system having shown much
progressiveness in extensions. The most
recent addition is line between Far
Haven and Poultney at cost of approx.
mately Sl50000, connecting those places
with Rutland. Other electric railroad
lines in Vermont have meanwhile re.
manned quiescent, not having added to
their mileage since the roads were first
put in and being content merely to keep
the cars running between the original
points of connection. In contrast, the
activity of the Rutland Railway, Light
and Power Co. is very marked, and I'M
doubtedly it does much toward the deveI-
opment Of that part of that state which
is tributary to Rutland. That city is
very fortunate in its trolley system.
