Her answer may puncrure hole in my

LEGISLATIVE SPECIAL
May Run to Accommodate Members
From This Territory

On account Of the interest taken by
members of the Legislature and 9th
ers who visit the capital during the
sessions of the Legislature, s. S. Rus
sell. superintendent OF the northern
division OF the Central Vermont, wa
asked when in Montpelier last week
if the Legislative Special would be
run during the coming session.
He stated that this matter had been
taken up by General Passenger
Agent Hanley with the Rutland rail
road to see as to the matter OF con
nections, and there was hope that il
the connections can be arranged that
the train would be run. Connections
mean trains waiting for each other in
both directions at Burlington.
The train in past years arrived at
Montpelier about go o'clock and left
later in the afternoon in time to
meet connections at Burlington over
the Rutland railroad. The operation
of such a train would permit repre-
sentatives in Bennington. Rutland
and Addison counties leaving their
home at a reasonable hour in the
forenoon and reaching Montpelier
2.90 o'clock and allow them to get
home the same way at the end OF the
week, without any dependence on
through or local trains.
