Reduced Rates ON M. & w. r. r.. r.
President T. E. Byrnes of the
Montpelier & Wells River and the
Barre railroads was in Montpelier
of those companies. AS result of
the meeting of the board of direct
ors of the Montpelier & Wells River
railroad, Mr.. Byrnes announced that
it had been decided to put into eff
feet as soon as tables can be pre-
pared, radical reduction in passenger
rates on the Montpelier & Wells Riv-
er railroad. He said:
"The mileage books now selling at
three cents will be reduced to two
cents per mile and will also be good
over the Boston and Maine railroad,
and Boston & Maine mileages, sold
at the same rate, will be good over
the Montpelier & Wells River rail-
road. The local passenger rates will
be reduced from three and a half
cents to three cents per mile.
There has been a strong senti-
ment in Montpelier and Barre for a
through night service to Boston and
the south over the Montpelier e
Wells River and the Boston e
Maine. The management has, in
with the requests from
many people in these communities,
decided to put on night train, leav-
ing Barre about nine o'clock and
Montpelier possibly at $50, arriving
at Woodsville at about 1890, where
the sleeper will remain until the ar
rival of the Montreal train from the
north, when it will be taken through
on that train, arriving in Boston
at about 100 a. m. The Montpelier
Boston at $50 in the evening, ar
irving at Woodsville at about 2 a.
m, and will remain there until
about six o'clock and will be brought
by new train to Montpelier and
Barre, arriving at about 7.30
o'clock.
t'This service will be first class in
every respect and is an experiment,
in the hope that the people of these
communities will give it such sup
port as to justify the management
in mourning the very great expense
involved and also justify the very
radical reduction made in the pas
senger rates.
