B. & {. READY TO
BUILD new Line
Chief Engineer Says That No
One Can Stop Road.
NECESSARY MONEY IN HAND
New Haven Has Nothing to DO With
Fast Electric Line, According 10
Vice President Byrnes.-To
Be incorporated in 80 Days

Boston.-At the close of a week OF
intense interest over the Grand Trunk
New Haven situation came the rumor
that interests behind the New Haven
have been Dusy with the financial
sources of the Boston & Eastern Esec-
tric railway, and had succeeded in
stopping the supply of money which
was TO build the new high speed cleo
tric line between Boston and Danyers.
Denial OF this has been made en-
phatically by representatives of both
the Boston 4 Eastern and the New
Haven.
There is absolutely nothing in the
report" said John II. Bickford of Sa-
lem, chief engineer of the Boston a.
Eastern, and leader in the long fight
which preceded the securing of the
road right 10 build. Neither the New
Haven nor anything else in the world,
1 feel sure, can stop US from building
the road now.
IL don't know whether or not the
New Haven interests have carried the
fight against us TO the extreme of try
ing TO stop us from getting the money
we need, but | do know this, that we
have the money and we are going to
build
Further, lest anybody should think
that there is any connection between
the Grand Trunk and the Boston &
Eastern, | want to state that there is
absolutely no connection. The Boston
& Eastern is being buih by entirely
different interests, and if the Grand
Trunk is short on money to continue
the work, we are not. No financial
stringency affects us"
Timothy E. Byrnes, vice-president Of
the New Haven road, expressed HIM
self tersely and vigorously when asked
if there was truth in the rumor that
the New Haven had sapped the money
from the new electric road.
Absolute nonsense" he said. You
can't make it too strong that there Is
nothing in the report. We never
thought the Boston & Eastern worth
thinking or worrying about"
In connection with the story 1t de-
yeloped that the Boston & Eastern
will be incorporated within 30 days.
Mr.. Bickford stated that, and added:
Actual construction Of the road will
start within three months. The dirt
will fly rapidly and the entire road,
including the tunnel under Boston har-
Dor and the construction Of the under
ground terminus at Postoffice square
will be completed within three years.
Whatever the Grand Trunk may do
or not do about building in New Eng
land cannot affect us even remotely.
1 do not know whether there is truth
In the reports that the New Haven
carried its fikht against the Grand
Trunk to the extreme of stopping it
from getting money for construction
work, but / do not believe it has tried
to do such a think with us. / would
have known it, feel sure. At any
rate, it is certain that We will go on
with the work.
I'VE have made our fight and won.
We have a clear road now"

that this does nothing but increase

Il know two boys who are devoted
to trapping the smaller animals lust
for sport as they say. They are
rather nice boys too but very
thoughtless. They viii sometimes
visit their traps regularly for a

Looking at it from a mercenary point
of view. even, it is not a profitable
