I Fonda were the Kensington men who \s;appeared to state’ why they were'in faver of ending the latter com- pany’s charter. Lawyer Henry G.

In Elmwood there is a service of twelve cars with a twenty-minute headway and a five minute service or better ten minute servide on Asylum and Ashley streets; and about twenty cars an- hour om Albany and Windsor avenues. 4 Objection . was registered by Ralph 0, Wells because the route paralleled the proposed line, of the New Britain, Kensington and Meriden road, and that the population was nor:sufficient: to support two. parallel .roads. He b thought there jvas some question of thé, route helngamt one, as'set forth because in passing from- Meriden to Hartford it took .a very: roundabout’ course, instead of going: directly up the turnpike. . A. Allen. Moore tavored the Ken- He is interested ‘in it. Fe said that it was because of the de- mand of the people of Meriden, New | Britain and Kensington that the char- ter was born and that there were | fully three hundred people who go' hack and forth to New Britain and who are not satisfied with the accom- modations extended by the Connecti- cut company. The work of construct- ing the road had, of necessity been delayed, largely because of the Euro- pean war, he said. Local People Speak. Ex-Senator Stevens urged a report the extension of the charter. He said that the matter has.proceeded so ta: that the money can be raised upon call, but that the company wanted a wuarantee of the who!e road by Mr. Wells. Representative T\oger M. Griswold of Berlin and Representative E. W. Schultz of New RBritain spoke along gimilar lines. They testified that the road would ‘be one of accomnioda- tion and not of speculation. H, H. Spooner went on to tell' of the poor service between New Britain and Meri- den, explaining that the people of the woest part of Kensington and Blue Hills are entirely without trolley ac- commodation. He thought that, if development was desired, the commit- tee should favor the Rensington road, in view of the fact that the Meriden and - Hartford route passed through a voorer part of territory. Among those who appeared for the Meriden and Hartford road and op- nesed the extension of time for for Donovan and Lawyer P. T. O'Erien of Merider. The mayor told ™ that Chamber of Commerce had New * and den ' enator €. J Heineman said: that he wanted to guard against another ‘extension of time that would | lring no results. Atiorney Day suid that he was not cpposed to the Kensington line; in fuct he thought it was a very good proposition. He told-that the com- pany had offered to allow the Connec- ticut company to build the road hut that, on account of financial em- barassment ‘it could not . be under- taken, Attorney O'Brien continued to throw cold water on the Kensington resident’s pet plan and asserted that the charter had been in existence for six years to no effect... He.thought the Meriden and Hartford line was the lesser of two evils as.far the mat- ter of delay was concerned. He said that the most significant thing was that the proposed road between Mer- | iden and Hartford was advocated aft- er six years of inactivity and tha, as the new road could back up its prop- osition by a pledge of $200,000, its route could be built entire. This con- dition of defeasance could. be inco: the | | isensington comnany were Mayor D. J. the ! porated in the cwarter he asserted. Time of Service Changed. Father J. C. Brennan announced this morning that he has found it necessary to change the time of the first mass at St. Paul's church, Kens- ington for Easter Sunday. He hal planned to hold the service at 7:30 4. m. but on account of ‘the fact that the first car from Berlin'does not ar- rive in Kenslngtnn until 8:30, the ser- vice could not be held until that time. The second mass will be said at 10:30 o'clock. Mrs. Louise Beecher, the organist, has arranged a special pro- gram of Easter music. Peddiér’s Horse Dropped. A ‘peddler’ who was driving - from /Bridgeport to' Hartford,was obliged to delay his journey in Berlin yester- day afternoon when his horse was taken with a sudden attack of the colic near W. B.. Hart's place. Dr, George T. (‘rbwle.\. the New Britain vetinarian was sunrmoned, .and acting upon his advice, the peddler arranged With Mr. Hart to leave his horse in his ‘barn _foi the night. The equine had' réecovered sufficiently this morn- ing so that the peddler could proceed on his way. Dempseys Move to New York. James Dempsey, - former smperin- tendent of C(‘olonel C. M.

April 1, 9:20 p. m., April 2, 6:06 a. m.—Surprise is ex- pressed by the Idea Nazionale that Gen.
