The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1922-01-14
MONTPELIER

A report has been current OF late
that the Central Vermont railway,
where it can, is going to close sta
tions along the line. In some instances
this has occurred and others are to fol-
low. Among those which Dame Rumor
has intimated are booked to be closed
portion of the day are Barre and
Montpelier. In the. latter instance 1t
is reported that the station will be
closed after the arrival Of the after
noon trains until something like an
hour before the midnight train is due
to leave which would probably mean
that two men would be employed
where three are now. 1t is understood
that different plan is to be employed
in connection with the Barre station,
and that the whole plan is along the
line OF economy. Very likely the boards
of trade in the two cities will make an
effort to upset this action If X is found
upon investigation that such a plan Is
contemplated by the company. The

station in Montpelier il closed por-
ton of the day now to save money.
