Mr.. HolbrOOk Expects to Turn
Hinsdale Line Over to
Boston & Maine
NO AGREEMENT
AS TO LOCAL CHANGES
Contractors Not Looking for Develop
ments Until Public Service Commits
sion Decides on Height of Bridge
Street Overpass.

The track which has been laid in the
railroad yard east of the railroad sta
tion is for the purpose of providing the
Central Vermont with more room in
the yard for bulk goods delivery dur
ing the building of a temporary freight
house. A new permanent freight house
is to he erected, but this has to do
with the general scheme of many i'm
provements which are to be made
some time in the future, when the two
railroads, the town, the state railroad
commission and all other possible in
tcrests get together and agree. Just
when that will be is impossible to tell,
but evidently the railroads believe that
it will come sometime or so much pre-
Hminarv work would not be in pro
gress.
1t has been reported that work was
to be started about April l on blast
ing out the big ledge opposite the rail
road station, but Frederick Holbrook
Of the HolbroOk, Cabot & Rollins cor
poration said last evening that he had
heard nothing that would indicate that
work was to be started at a definite
date and he did not expect to hear
ANYTHING to that effect until such time
as the state railroad commission had
decided upon the height the overpass
is to be over the tracks In addition
to that must come the final signing of
the agreement between the railroads
and the town as to the changes.
This probably will follow Immediately
the decision of the state railroad com
mission.
The Holbrook, Cabot & Rollins cor
poration will finish the contraction of
the Boston & Maine work between here
and Hinsdale, Mr.. Holbrook said last

MARKET COMPANY
ANSWERS ATTACKS
Regards As Highly Unjust Hur.
ried Report on Bill to Ter
inmate Rental.

The Washington Market Company. an
swerins the attacks Of Congressman
Sen Johnson. OF tho iIouce District
Committee. as contained in a report OF
the johnson bill TO terminate the rental
contract with the company. has sent
statement tn the Legislators
Tho market company regards as
highly unjust the hurried report on
tie. bill. upon which no hearings were
held. Mr.. Johnson declared that the
present rental paiG by The company,
$500 per year. was unauthorized by
the rental should he $1,000 The DiE-
trict. nc alleges, illegally reduced the
rent
In its statement the company asserts
the lover rental was given in return TO:
its conveyance to the District OF the
front land between the present market
house and Pennsy lvania avenue. Sew
enth end Ninth streets and that the
deal has been approved by the Supreme
Court and the House Committee or Ju-
tjciary in 1875. The replay fthe ma rket
company continues:
The company regrets that the bill
has been SO suddenly reported to the
House without any investigation made
or hearing given by the committee. as
desired by the company. Such sudden
action, without report stating facts
and reasons against a company with
;1.,ds ind stock outstart:.r;: to Le Ss'i
uusly affected thereby. is highly uil-
just.
Tie market company does not make
any objection TO the taking over of Cen
ter Market by Congress-, either under
the thirty-year clause in its charter of
May 90 1870. to be carried on as Gov
ernment market OF under the power OF
eminent domain for the purpose of
clearing or ell buildings now an the
Mall: but II does strenuously object IA
an immediate repeal Of its charter and
20 certain other clauses in the present
bill which are unjustly Designed to i'm
pair or destroy the method of valuation
OF the property prescribed by constitu-
ten and laws"
E. .. Whitford pre- Silen OF the CON-
pany. says that the Cel-er Market man.
agement has been the subject of attacks
in the local courts and elsewhere for
forty years. Past litigation. he says,
was largely the outcome OF disappoint-
ment of men who failed in maintaining
control of an early organization for
which the present MANAGEMENT is in no
wise responsible. These old resent
ments seem to have been revived by the

CHILDREN HATE OIL,
CAL0MEL AND PILLS
"California Syrup of Figs
best for tender stomach,
liver, bowels.

L.ok back at your childhood days:
Remember the dose mother insisted
on-castor oil, calomel, cathartics. How
you hated them. how you fought against
taking them.
With Our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form of
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The childrcn's revolt is well-found-
ed. Their tender little "insides'' are in
jured by them.
Ii YOUR child's stomach. liver and
bowels need cleansing. give only deli
cious "Californis syrup of Figs. Its
action is. positive, but gentle. Millions
OF mothers keep this harmless fruit
laxative" handy: they know children
love to take it: that il never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweeten
the stomach. and that teaspoontul
given today saves a sick child tomorrow.
Ask your druggist for j0-cent bottle
of California Syrup of Figs" which
has full directions for babies. children
OF all ages and for grown-ups plainly
on each bottle. Beware of counterfeits
sold here. See that II Is made by
California Fig Syrup Company" Re-
