BILE number of men were employed in said mill

ton: that said Vermont Marble Company has not
rebuilt said mill. and the men employed therein
and their families have moved away and the
dwelling houses occupied by them have been
closed or removed; that there is now no necessity
for the maintenance of a station at said Bedens

So miles north OF said Beldens and another at
