WHERE WE NEED MORE TROLLEYS Norwich Business Men Show Vice P;uident Storrs and Ge.ner- al Manager Punderford of Connecticut Company—Vi'sit‘ to and Arguments For Boswell Avenue, Waslfington Strest and Maplewood Extension—Mayor Murphy Leads Demand For Immediate Consideration. A lowy, promised, but often deferred, visit «4 this city in order to get ac- quainted with local trolley conditions, was made here on Friday by Vice President L. S. Storrs of the Conneotl- out company, accompanied by General Manager J. K. Punderford. Through correspdndence with Secretary Henry W, Tibbits of the Norwich board of trade, their coming was expected on Friday at 2 o'clock, but they 'slipped into town a little ahead of their sched- ule by coming from New London with Mayor Bryan H. Mahan of that city, who brought them here after they had been with him in a tour of inspection and conference over some trolley mat- ters in that city. Made Inspection Trip. Upon their arrival here, the twe heads of the Connecticut trolley sys- tem, with Supt. Samuel Anderson of the New London lines, were taken aroand the city in two automobiles, accompanied by a party of Norwich men, who pointed out to them where | extensions of the trolley track and) service were needed. These referred particularty to the Maplewood exten- sion, Boswell avenue and Washington street and Asylum streeet. Th Nor- wich party yith the trolley officials in- cluded Mayor Timothy C. Murphy,, President Joseph D, Haviland of the boapd of trade, Frank H. Smith, rep- | inting the Norwich Business Men's association, and John T. Young, chair- | man of the board of trade transporta- | tlon committee, Business Men in Earnest. Upon their return again to the board | of trade rooms, a number of Norwich | men presented their arguments upon | the necessity of the extensions, Mayor | Murphy appeéaring in the forefront of decided but kindly demands that the | Norwich men conveyed to the trolley officials that the road should take up the building of the extensions asked | for. In a direct and positive way the | mayor told the two officials that the | business men were out to get these ex- | tensions, and that they would rather | obtain them through the acquiescence | of the trolley road than to be compelled | 1o go to the court of last resort in call- | Ing for the public utilities commission | te come here to sit upon the case. | | Petition on Maplewood Extension. | In visiting the talked of Maplewood | sxtension, Mayor Murphy presented be- | fore the visi officials a petition | from all the residents in that section of the town, and also from all the lot | owners in Maplewood cemetery. At the | Fair Grounds it was pointed out where an entrance could be placed and a sid- | Ing located. The party also passed through Asylum street in order to show what that sectlon promised, and then down Washington street and over through Boswell avenue. | Mayor Murphy Speaks. I President Haviland conducted the | meeting in the board of trade rooms | ppon the return from the tour, and | Mayor Murphy wes, the first speaker. | ar He told the two officials that their ar- rival, together with the opportune rain of Thurs had given th ns | two good grounds for rejoicing, and he was ziad to welcome them to the city. | Taking up the Washington street ex- tensiom, he stated that thi t was | ne of the nicest in the city, and the | “onnecticut company must recognize | that in giving up to them city was | giving up a street which was the only | 1d mizht en- | that at the last street and Asy- way by which ar ter the ctiy. 1 legislature Wa lum street h T rted together| in the permiss “en the road, and he wou any Hne through | Washing reet unless it Included | as well an cxtension through Asylum | mayor also argued briefly for ewood extension and then | the Boswell avenue line. Ge: Manager Punderford had said: me the people and we will bufld the trolley tracks.” Here was a reglon where there were many people to be served. Boswell avenue and its en-| virons represented one-tenth of the tax | rayine property of the city former petition to the legisl had been 590 names representing over | thvee millons in property. H Enough of “Due Consideration.” Mayor Murphy sald that the Norwich men had heard enough of answers t “due consideration would be matter” as the city h in work held up while v what the road was they wanted an the other, and ths * one way or| soon i Frank H.

Gilmour, a resident of Bos- well avenue for 47 years, argued for the extension there, speaking of the large families that were mcunvemqnged by the lack of transportation facilities, and claiming that the trolley would re- sult in development of that secties. Business Men's Association President. President” ¥ of the Busi- ness Men's association spoke for the Maplewood extension and of the use- fuln: of that track for the fairground. He also recommended that the Wash- ington street extension be taken up, and predicted that the Boswell avenue extension would serve as much travel as any street in Norwich outside of the main streets. Want Answer Soon, Chajrman John T. Young of the sportation comimittee spoke brief- and brought out a smile from the trolley officis when he said the peo- pie of Norwich wanted to know the answer quickiy, for if it was “No” they propesed to get at this in some other way. Secretary Henry W. Tibbits in- stanced Whitney avenue in New Ha- ven as an example of ho wa fine street was not harmed by the trolleys and | sald he wished the opponents of the Wash could see idential section. He advocated the extensions in Nor- wich " Would Affect 200 Families. President Haviland also presented the claims of the Washington street extension, saying that there were 200 families to be affected by it and the ladies of the neighborhood especially want it. He also advoceted the Ma- plewood extension. proffering a firm request that the company build this line. Applause for Telling Speech. Currie Gilmour raised a burst plause for a vigorous and speech which he made in advocating the Boswell avenue extension.
