L. Beardsley, superintendent af the New Britain office of the Connec- ticut company, was present last eve- ning at a meeting of the board of di- rectors of the Plainville Business and Improvement association. The meet- ing was called specially ta discuss the possibility of inducing the trolley campany to lay double tracks from the Trumbull Electric Manufacturing company to Sharp's station. Mr. Beardsley advised the members of the associatiom that the directors of the Connecticut company are con- templating the appropriation of a suf- ficient amount of money ta lay double tracks for one-half the distance, and stated that a requisition for such an appropriation has already been made. In order that local patrons may be further satistied, the company plans to put into operation within a short time a new schedule for the trolleys on the local line. The new schedule will allow a little more time, probably five or seven minutes, at the terminals in this town and New Britain and will change the running time from minutes to about one-half hour. This clunge is expected to eliminate con- 1u:ion in schedules. Mr. Beardsley admitted that the Plainville line should have a complets system of tracking and he believes with the patrons that local commut- ers are entitled to the improvement. The laying of tlie new tracks for one- half the distance between the two sta- tions is expected to increase the chance of pushing the work on the lina through to completion. The plan to do a part of the work at a date not - distant seems feasible to local merchants, manufacturers and other commuters and there was little argu- ment against it at last night's meet- ing. The Plainville branch is one af the best aying sections of all the com- pany’s lines in this section ot the ate and the patrons are aware of this fact and feel that for this reason their welfare should take precedence over other lines which do not pay as srcat returns and which are said to ave reccived more attentiom in the line of improvements. It is swid that in proportion to its importance to the campany the lo line has had less improvements and that there has been less money spent on the line than on any other branch in the cen- tral part of the state. ‘Among the arguments advanced at the meeting in favor of the changing of the schedule was the story that the trolley crews stop in eating places for quick lunches while the passengers wait for the cars to leave the center. A remedy for this condition has been promised. Another one was that certain crews, well known to the regular commut- ers, stall an the trips and lose time purposely an attempt, oftentimes successful. to avoid making the trip to Arch sirect in New Britain. Avoid- ance of this trip saves the trouble of changing the car preparatory to the return trip. Although nathing was definitely settled at the meeting the hopes of the local patrons have been raised to a point which will necessitate action by the trolley company or the alternative of disappointing the commuters and making possible a boycott of the com- pany’'s lines. The matter now rests in the hands of the business men and manufacturers who will act as they see fit and decide as to whether an acceptance of the campany’s offer to do half of the job will be for the best interests of the townspeople. When this work is finally complef- ed it will mark the end of a period of agilation lasting for nearly ten vears and featured LY frequent crabfests and continual kicking upon the part of patrons of the company. The line has been operated by a system of sig- nal lights for the past few years but this system does not eliminate delays and the elimination of the long waits to which the commuters have been subjected is one of the principal is- sues in the matter. Carter in for Senator? Edward T. Carter announced yes- terday afternoon that he is entertain- ing serious thoughts of throwing his hat into the ring for the nomination for state senator on the republican ticket. A large number of his friends have approached him within the past few days and attempted to persuade him to seek the nomination, and as a result of the continued persuasion, Mr. Carter has been prevailed upon to think the matter over seriously. @ Mr. Carter served two terms in the state legislature from this town from 1913 to 1916, inclusive. He always has taken an active interest in the social, civie and indus 1 growth aof the town and is-one of the strongest republicans her His previous expe- rience in the legislature is considered a recommen tion and his friend are convinced he a competent ma for the office.
