COMMISSIONS CHOICE.

Mr.. Redmond, in announcing the choice
of a plan. said:
More and more it has become apparent
that neither road could present a plan
which the other road would not contest.
We are agreed without any hesitation
that the proper kind Of a station is the
elevated track plan. The other plans are
not to be considered for a moment
I'VE snail find that the Maple street
crossing should be eliminated under the
crossing law. OF the expense of so doing
the State will be assessed . per cent. and
upon the city of Burlington will fall 10 per
cent"
Speaking of the elimination of grade
crossings at College and Maple streets,
he said:
THE city of Burlington should be fur
Their taxed for this project, for 1t will
reap a peculiar benefit in the elimination
of the grade crossings, for which 1t SHOULD
pay; also, the city should bear a portion
Of the expense of the two roads leading
IN from Lake and King streets. Fifteen
per cent. of this expense should he horne
nv the city-15 per cent of the elimination
exnense in addition to the Maple street
elimination"
At this point. Joseph T. stearns raised
n question as to the power of the commits
sion to do this.

Yes. It does snapped Mr.. Jarvis and
sat down facing away from the judges

After consideration. Mr., Redmond OBJ
served, "If you have 81 days to figure
this out. then We will be just where we
are now
Mr.. Jarvis suggested that differences
between the roads be left to a board Of

And abide by their decision" added
the chairman, so quickly that his words

asked tn chairman.
No. sir, 1t is not!' was the reply shot
back by the Rutland's executive.
What about the kline of a station you
WANT asked Mr.. Redmond.
Mr.. Lawrence suggested a conference Of
the railroads and the chairman proposed
that the city be also a party to the
conferen e. Hamilton s. Peck. counsel
for the Central Vermont. suggested that
the mayor act for the city. and Mayor
Roberts replied that the city had nothing
to say about tho station. except in regard
to the concourse and perhaps other de-
tails Of a minor character. II was then
suggested that the mayor delegate some
one to represent the city.
Mr.. Redmond laid down four issues for
the consideration of the conferees. and a
fifth was suggested by Mr. Breed. The
five were as follows:
1-Determine who should do the work or
the elevateu structure. and how.
2-Decide as to the plans OF the sta
tion.
3-Apportion the expense remaining &c
be divided between the railroads,
I. Decide who shall operate the station
&. Settle the matter OF traffic rights
over the property OF each railroad. as con
Germs theother road. (Breed's question:
The mayor mentioned the possibility OF
moving the station out Of Main street
and the chairman replied that the com
mission was willing to hear arguments In
regard to this. but hat It would take
strong reasons to force conviction. upon
them.
Does anyone think Of anything more
that we ought to talk about asked Mr.
Redmond,
II think we have heard enough" replied
MIR. Writer'S.
Very we'll" said the chairman. ''tht
final hearings will be held In this room a
nine o'clock in the morning on the 9th
day OF September. Have your arbitration

Coal will receive another advance In

Joseph Basha, lineman for the West

narrow escape Monday morning when
he fell from a pole In front of Wards
barber shop on Church street to the side
walk, a distance Of 10 feet or more. The
only injury he is known to have received
is a broken wrist and some bruises.
Bashaw at the time Of the accident was
endeavoring to fasten a wire to a pin and
in doing so depended partially for his
support on another wire. The pin which
held this to the gan was rotten and gave
way, allowing Bashaw to fall to the
ground. Tie shock at striking the pave
ment was partially broken by Bashaw's
left arm. which he stuck out and the
wrist of which was broken. G. II. Mylkes,

Bashaw in with him and hurried him to

Yesterday was a day of triumph, not in
Capua, hut in Burlington-on-Lake Cham
plain, for the public service commission
closed its 'steenth hearing on the pro-
posed new union station a whole hour
earlier than was expected, and the long
desired edifcc seemed at last to be a
tangible possibility, whatever that may
be. The commissioners, the railroad Of
iclals, the municipal fathers and a few
stray citizens. as they left the city hall
at three o'clock in the afternoon, could
see already, in fancy, the walls of the
new building rising like a morning mist
at the foot OF Main street, and their hearts
were gay with the assurance that perhaps
after years OF discussion, arbitration.
litigation and supreme court decisions yet
to come. their grandchildren would GER
tainly live to see and use the structure in
their old age.
w have never had such a time getting
anywhere BEFORE" said Chairman Red
mond of the commission, and we never
shall again" He was loath to grant 20
days for the railroads to get ready for
the next hearing. but when assured that
in one month they would arbitrate their
disputes and decide finally what share
Of the expense each should bear, he
named Monday. September ., at nine
o'clock In the morning. as the time for
the final sitting of the commission. III
you can't decide by then what you are
going to do" he added, I'VE shall decide
for you, although We are not the fit OF
proper persons to settle the matter"
In an Interview at the close Of the
hearing. Mr.. Redmond emphasized the I'm.
p%ortance Of closing up the case at tina,
time SO as to make 1t possible for the
public service commission to get out their
report before the coming session of the
Legislature.
