A Hold Up Of Vermont.
(Lyndonville Journal J

There is being much done and much
talking about Vermont, her resources
and what to do to develop all the best
interests of the state. The first essen
tial to development is good transporta-
tion and good transportation facilities.
Vermont has superior attractions as a
resort, but good transportation facilities
are essential to get people. here. Com
mercially transportation facilities are
the first thing which must be developed
to meet its requirements. From Boston
to all parts of the state the transporta-
tion facilities are good and as soon as
the bridges on the line of road are. re-
built with new and powerful engines
there will be less of that irregularity of
trains than in the past.
From New York the southwestern
part of the state has far better facilities
than the eastern and northern parts Of
the state. The Boston Il Maine is re-.
building its bridges on the whole line of
the Connecticut river so that heavier
equipment can be used. 1t wants also
to double track the road at least to
White River Junction. With improved
track facilities. improved equipment
and through trains and ears to New
York it would open up the whole east
ern section and make it as popular as
the western, and increase the numDer
of people who will come to the whole
state. People who come to Vermont
Judge it by the part they know, and
bad transportation facilities hurt not
only the section in which they are locat-
ed but the whole state.
The only way that the Boston y
Maine can get improved trac kage facili-
ties to this section is by going over to
New Hampshire and building its road
because of the dog in the manger atti-
tude of foreign owned corporation,
which without considering the effect on
it's local improvement looks only to
through traffic which does not benefit
the state. The Central Vermont proper
and all the towns and cities on its line
would be benefited by good connections
and good trains to New York as would
be the Passumpsic and all the country
dependent upon it. Because there is a
fight on in Rhode Island the whole Sec
tion of Vermont is to be damaged. Let
Rhode Island and Massachusetts take
care of the fight there and if those
states and the city of Providence want
the Grand Trunk let them give it to the
road 1t will not either help Providence
or hurt the Boston & Maine to 90 to
Providence, but Vermont and its inter
ests should not be made the cat s paw.
