A Beit Line Suggested. e 'explained how a Boswell avenue | 1o raignt be use dss a bele line in connection with present lines. ~Mr. Smith's_talk also included a recital of how valuable a service would be ren- dered to many citizens if the line is built, They would prefer to pay a nickel and ride rather than walk, he said. Should Meet Service Demands, H. F. Ulmer of the Ulmer Leather ! company said that he would reiterate all that Messrs. Smith and Murphy had said relative to the Boswell ave- | nue ine.

Lines Would Prove Mutual Benefit. Frank H. Smith said that the entire matter of extension should be looked at in a businessiike way. The lines asked for would prove a mutual ben fit for the trolley company and busi- ness men and the proposed lines, if carried out, would have the appropa- tion of 90 per cent. of the people. He thought the proposed extensions a good proposition for the company. ‘Washington street transportation rants had never been provided for, and he thought that it would be decid- edly to the advantage of the company to do this. _Forget Their Promises. Mr. Smith said he had the best of feeling for. the company, whose repre- sentatives, however, had at times made promises, only to forget them. The - latter sentiment seemed to be shared by the other Norwich men, who had no desire to antagonize the com- ypany, but are seeking extensions which they ‘feel the city is really in need of and as soon as it is possible to pro- vide them.
