L, Beardsley, superintendent of the New Britain divislon of the Con- necticut company, told a representa- tive of the “Herald" this afternoon that if Jabor could be secured the Connecticut eompany would be willing to co-operate With the city in regard to moving snow from many of the streets on which there are trolley tracks so that transportation would not be interfered with, Residents of the north end of the city are complaining of the trolley service rendered on the BStanley -to Francis street line inasmuch as cars are often times 15 minutes late, trips re missed and the journey from the center to Francis street and vice versa takes more time than it should.
