heIlaS ana ASSOCIATES, EOTfneT ONHcTS
of Road, Had Brought Petition for In
junction Restraining Power Go. from
Building Dam.
Rumors of the sale of the Hoosac
Tunnel & Wilmington railroad were
confirmed today by Attorney Harold E.
land Power Co, who said that the prop
crty had passed from John 2. Kellas of
Albany, n. Y, and associates to Will
liam &c Shortess of New York and as
sociates Mr.. Shortess and associates
own the old James Ramage Paper Co.
of Monroe Bridge Mass, and the old
National Metal Edge Box Co. of Reads
says. viii operate the road for the ben
eft of the public and all the interests
of the Deerfield valley.
What the new owners paid for the
property is not made public, but from
other sources it is learned that the gov
ernmCnt valuation of the HoOsac Tun-
rel & Wilmington railroad is S625,000.
The price paid doubtless was less than
that sum.
1t will be recalled that last October
litigation involving the New England
Power Cos Nottingham dam project
was started in the United States court
for the district of Vermont by the
Hoosac Tunnel & Wilmington Railroad
Co., petition for an injunction to pre-
vent the building of the dam being
/ brought. The petition was signed by
John F. Kellas of Albany, who was
president of the railroad, Leroy NJ Kel-
las of Malone y. T., the presidents son,
who was treasurer, and Attorney Her
bert g. Barber of Brattleboro alleging
that the dam would damage the plaint-
iff S property.
The complaint was served on the New
England Power Co. and allied corpora
tions by United States Marshal Arthur
L. Carpenter of this place. In view of
this litigation, which. is still pending, it
Is assumed that the New England Power
+ 60. brought about the transfer of the
railroad property
i The defendants in the Injunction suit
are the New England Power Co, the
/ New England Co. the Power C0nstruc-
/ tion Co, the Wilmington Power & Pa
+ per Co, and the Deerfield River Power
! Co. With the ownership of the road in
i friendly hands the next logical step in
/ the litigation would be a discontinuanee
! of the injunction suit.
| In the injunction petition it was asked
] that the court restrain the defendants
/ from constructing and maintaining a dam
on any part of the plaintiffs railroad or
property or trespaSSing upon or flooding
the plaintiffs 5 right of way.
1t was asserted by the complainants
that the defendants, under a claim of
| constitutional right planned to move the
I railroad and build a dam 200 feet high
across the railroad and set the water of
/ the Deerfeld river back over the main
| line tracks about u miles, some parts OF
| which would be under water to a depth
| of 150 feet In some places it was
4 planned to move the track more than a
! mile from its present location.
/ The dam would flood out the present
! Whitingham station and Mountain Mills
station. the complainants said, and il
I was claimed that the business that
would be done on the contemplated new
/ location would not pay for operating.
