New England lines proposals.—A special act passed last session of the Vermont Legislature, gave power to the Public Services Commission to arrange for the building and operation of a union station by the railways entering Burlington. The Commission sat there Sept. 7, to hear the views of the Central Vermont Ry. and the Rutland Rd., as to which of them should build the station. The C.V.R. has presented a plan for the building of a station to be owned and operated jointly, and for the separation of all grade crossings in the city. The plan is generally approved by the citizens, and the hearing was adjourned until Oct. 24, with the object of enabling the two railways to agree on plans and terms so that a consent order can be made.

Press reports, Sept. 15, states that the G.T.R., through allied interests, has secured control of two trolley lines which will give it a through connection from Portland, Me., to Boston, Mass.

Railways: G.T.Ry.
