Provisions in the proposed charter for the Meriden, New 'Britain and Hartford ‘Railway company, a line of which would éxtend through Worth- ington ridge has been meeting with the general disapproval of Hartford residents living in the western section of the capital city. The bill has been reported favorably by the railroad committee of the legislature and was ready for action by the senate this morning. The bill provides for a circuitous which are too narrow to permit double tracking. The opinion has been preva- lent about the western vicinity of Hartford that it would be detrimental to the best interests of the city to have the proposed trolley lines pass through it and it is expected that the bill will be strenuously opposed by the Hart- ford senators. The opposition is not to trolley lines, as many feel that the new trolley line would be of great advantage, but is simply with the method which the trolley company proposed to use in entering the city the Hartford citizens are objecting to. The decision of the legislature -is awaited with, much In- terests by the residents of Berlin. Invited to Field, Day.
