New News Of Yesterday
A Bay State Town That
Missed It's Opportunity
by Holland

The late William d. Bishop, under
whose direction. as president, the New
Haven Railroad began its great deyel-
opment. and who ID his day was rank
ed among the leading constructive
forces in the railway life Of the United
states, retired from active railroad
management soon after he had uni
fled the original New Haven line,
which stretched from New Haven to
Springfield, Mass. Mr.. Bishop re-
garded his work as having been com
pleted when he had achieved this
unincation, feeling sure that he had
set an example which his successors
would follow, which they did.
In the early part of President Ar
thurs administration / met Mr. Bishop
/ in Washington. lie smiled with a 1T
! tie embarrassment as we met, ana eN-
planned his confusion by showing me
n small tin pail which he was carry
ing. He said that he had been to the
restaurant which John Chamberlain
had made famous to get a certain dell
cacy for his wife, who then was STOP
ming al one OF the hotels nearby. |
do not recall how orr conversation
upon certain features OF railroad MS
tory began as We walked on Dut
do remember that Mr.. Bishop SAID that
he had Just had a very interesting chat
with Governor Clafin OF Massachp-
sets, who was at that time mem-
Der of the lower house Of that state.
Governor Clafiin told me that he
really got his first profound knowi-
edge OF what the meaning 10 the
United States as "a whole and to vari-
Gus localities OF the building OF rail-
roads was long before l became pres
ident Of the New Haven Railroad Com
pany," he said.
Governor Clahin said that at the
time the men of capital in Boston were
promoting the building Of a railroad
which was to run westerly from Bos-
ton to Springfield and ultimately TO
Albany. the surveyors located the line
I'm the town OF birmingham. Mass. so
that Il ran directly through the old
town. The governor told me his boy
hood home was in an adjoining town
think he said Milford and for that
reason he heard a great deal about the
trouble the railroad people were hav-
ing on account Of their survey through
Framingham. The people Of that
town we're M In arms. stating that
thew would fight rather than permit
railroad to pass directly through the
town. They said it would ruin the
place. They put up such opposition
that at last the railroad company was
compelled TO change it's survey so that
the line was located a considerable
distance south Of the town of Franz
/ ingham.
what was the result? II was sim
ply this: A new village that became
livery prosperous grew up around the
line OF the railroad and was OF such
importance that It was named South
birmingham. In time IL completely
overshadowed the old town. Framing
ham was OF no consequence from one
point OF view. while South Framing
ham rapidly grew until il became one
OF the most important Of the smaller
villages OF Massachusetts.

Governor Cla1in. that l obtained my
first knowledge as TO what the mean

munity really was"
