Announcement that the Boston &
Maine railroad has filed with the inter.
of long standing traffic
with the Grand Trunk
aroused interest in Brattleboro early, IN
the week, and there was considerable
discussion as to the effect of this move
on the Brattleboro situation. 1t is
practically certain, however, that the
notice of cancellation although opposed
by the Grand Trunk will have no bear
ing on the Brattleboro controversy;
Indeed, it is likely that the proposed
move on the Boston & Maine was known
to the Grand Trunk officials previous TO
the conference last Friday. The trathc
agreement which the Boston u Name
wishes to cancel does not concern
Rrattleboro shippers in the least, hav-
inc TO do simply with shipments be-
tween New York city and New England
points on the Boston & Maine that here
tofore have been shipped part of the
al stance via Grand Trunk. If the can
collation. is allowed shippers in these
towns will have to do their New YORK
freight business wholly by way of the
BOSTON & Maine and New Haven roads
or else pay local freight for a portion
of the distance. Brattleb0ro s freight
with New York city is by
way of the Central Vermont for the
entire distance.
