Grand Trunk Ry.—Application is reported to have been made to the United States Government for aid in the completion of the Northern New England Ry. from Palmer, Mass., to Providence, R.I. This line is being built under the auspices of the Central Vermont Ry., which is controlled by the G.T.R. The line is about 65% completed, but no work has been done on it for several years. It is asked that aid to the extent of $5,000,000 be provided. The matter came before F. L. Stuart, Chairman of the Budget Committee, Eastern Railways Region, in New York, July 2, and after hearing arguments, it was reported July 4, that the application would be given full consideration.
