Trunk lines instead of over the Can
adam Pacific Company's tracks into
the Canadian city.
Although the trackagc change is Of
considerable Importance in railroad
circles it vii! not effect the travelling
public, other than that the officials
figure a decided improvement will be
made in the maintenance of depend
able schedule into Montreal.
Heretofore it has been necessary for
the Rutland Railroad trains to do
some switching at Iberville Junction
in order to get onto the Canadian Pa
cifc iron, thus costing time. BY the
route planned to take effect October
LIST, the trains will go on straight
track from Rutland into the Grand
Trunk station at Montreal.
Present Arrangement
Since the building of the extension
Of the Rutland Railroad north from
Burlington and across the islands,
completed about November, 1901, the
Rutland Railroad has had working
agreement for through passenger
train service under trackage via the
Quebec, Montreal and Southern rail-
way between Noyan Junction and
Iberville Junction and the Canadian
Pacific railway between lberville juno
ton and the Windsor street station in
Montreal.
Under the new arrangements the
trains will cross the Richelieu river
from Alburg into Rouses Point, N. y,
where they will 20 onto the Grand
Trunk tracks. 1t is expected that
the same Rutland Railroad crews
which handle the trains from Rutland
will go through to the Bonaventure
station in Montreal. The passenger
service will be through trains, it is
assured, SO the passengers will have
no changing Of cars.
Change Comes October LIST
The route over which the Rutland
trains viii go after October LIST is one
now in use by the Delaware and Hud- |
son Railroad Company. whose contract
recently expired and which will now
route It's trains by way Of the Napier
vile Junction railway into Montreal.
General Passenger Agent Grant
said recently when asked about the |
change: There is but little TO say ex-
rept that the officials Of tht Rutlaid
road are Of the opinion that the
slightly shorter route will so better
conditions that the schedule Of the
through trains run by the Rutland
road will be more dependable. Delays
will be lessened and the general oper-
alton Of the trains will be more uni

Makes Beauty Spot of
Power House Grounds.

Geo. B. Green, superintendent of
Yale's Light and Water Plant, is a man
who believes in keeping everything he
has anything to do with in order and
up.to-the minute. Should you visit the
interior of the power plant you will find
it in ship shape order and running
smoothly. Through his efforts and
knowledge Of what is needed the plant
is equipped with modern machinery and
appliances to take care of the needs of
its patrons.
He is not satisfied to place the inter
ior of the plant in the best of order but
has been busy this spring and summer
grading, seeding and sodding the
grounds surrounding the building. The
lawn and terraces are green with grass
and present most pleasing sight.
Mr.. Green has another idea in his
noddle which he hopes will soon be re.
allied. The grounds to the rear of the
council chamber is Uttered with a pile
Of stone, the old stone crusher, rubbish
Of every kind, tall weeds and grass
growing thereon. He suggests that that
spot be cleaned up and comfortable
seats be placed under the naples which
furnish ample shade where those who
wished could spend an hour or two of
hot summer afternoon. This sugges-
ton is very commendable one and
We trust that our city dads will take
the matter up and consider it favorably.
The Expositor compliments Supt.
Green in his efforts to keep the power
plant l. such good order and the
grounds surrounding neat and attrac.
tive.
