MONTPELIER

Civil engineers of the Montpelier and
Wells River Railroad Co. Friday after
noon commenced plotting out the
changes in the tracks in the Montpelier
yards of the company to give the pat
rcns service which the company has
not been giving since the bridge in
| Montpelier was condemned, and it
locks now as though a new bridge was
not TO be constructed. This would cost
well towards 100000, it is said.
A new track will be laid from the
passenger station to the freight sta
tion for unloading purposes. G. B. An
drews' siding will be changed so that
he will use his unloading device from
track nearer the old main line The
main line track will be swung over
SO that the icehouse may be reached.
Two tracks will be laid on the Central
Vermont side OF the old bridge so that
the switching will be off the Central
Vermont tracks, one to the derrick and
the other to handle the Barre cars.
These changes Indicate that the com
pany does not intend at least at any
near date to build new bridge or re-
pair the old one.
