Nearly Ready to Begin Building the
Railroad


Rapid developments have been shown
In the local railroad situation the past
few days. The engineering force was
increased on Wednesday by eight new
surveyors and the surveying is being
pushed with all the rapldty possible in
order to complete the work before the
construction gang begins work
The contract has been awarded to the
Holbrook, Cabot and Rollins corpora
ton, who, 1t Is understood, have a repu-
tation for the greatest rapidly of exc
cution by using a large force of opera
tves. Representatives of the company
were In town Wednesday surveying the
route and making plans. Wednesday
evening they held a session with the
selectmen to obtain permission to build
an overpass from the railroad over the
highway near the Dole place for the
purpose of unloading their machinery
from the railroad at that point. The
man who has charge of the steam SHOW
els is at the hotel awaiting the arrival
of the shovels which, it Is understood,
are on the way. Four Italians also ar
rived Wednesday and brought lumber
and nails with which to begin work up
on the shacks which will be built, 1t is
understood, near the ferry.
On Thursday the contractors were Sc
curing quarters for the gangs of men
and teams Wherever empty sheds or
other buildings are available they will
be rented for the use of the gangs of
men instead of building shacks.
The house at the River Tavern, So
called, will become the headquarters and
will be equipped with telephones and
other conveniences for the officers of
those in charge. These developments
tend toward the immediate beginning of
operations. 1t looks as II the skeptics
would have an opportunity to see the
railroad really started in the near flu
ture and as if those having bets would
soon be positive which way to settle
Hinsdale feels that the whole matter
could not have been settled in any way
which would have helped this town more
than the decision arrived at. 1t Is GER
tainly much better for us to have the
station on the Vermont side. Now Hins-
dale people going by rail to Brattleboro
will be carried up into the street in
stead of a half-mile this side as would
have been the case had the original plan
been carried out of building a station
upon the Schorling fiat.
Hinsdale feels much complmented by
the suggestion of a Brattleboro reporter
in last Sundays Springfield paper that
Hinsdale is a possible future suburb of
Brattleboro. Did he think that the rail-
road would bring to Hinsdale the wealth
necessary to make of its people the aris-
tocracy usually found in the suburbs of
large cities?

man, the club to be conducted on a
strictly undenominational basis. The

Gently purcha sed of the Stranahan es-
