In the cities, however, the trolley interests have awakened to their responsibilities and are trying hard to meet the new demands. Increas- ed urban population has saved many a line from petering out. There are lines in the large cities which when built did very little busines "now. due to the growth of popula- tion, carry carloads of passengers. By adding bus lines as feeders, the trolley compariies are keeping step with the new transportation era. 25 Years Ago Today At the meeting of the street com- |mittee last evening it was voted to {require the Connecticut Co. to lay lgrooved rails instead of T-rails in the |fire a ct.
