Bailey of Collinsville i’ Among the autoists recently regis- tered i Hartford are Mr. and Mrs, and there was a large attendance of Burial was porting the Council. The petition addressed by the Shore Line Electric Railway company to the mayor and the court of common coun- cll, praying for a turnout on West Main street beginning nearly at the Asylum street Corner and continuing westerly 430 feet, was fiatly turned down by the city government after an extended hearing Monday night in the council chambers with a large number of interested parties on hand to _see the fight. The matter of the proposed layout calleq forth criticism of the trolley road's policy as shown by its attitude in regard to extemsions and accom- modation of the public in Norwich and all in all it was a fairly spirited ses- sion. Mayor Murphy, yielding up his chair to the senior alderman, ms a private citizen frankly stated his opin- ion of the trolley road and it was nof favorable one. The session, with the LEY G0, TURNOUT cessity Do Not Require Building of West Main Turnout Asked For— Citizens Voice Their Views, Sup- Street would be directed above the two water mains, 20 and 12 inch, and the traffic would tend to have a harmful effect on these mains, already under terrific pressure he said. On the other side of the street was a sewer which he was_informed was down 18 feet ,and sewers did not have to be dug up as frequently as water mains anyway. In its legal aspect, too, sufficient clear- ance was not given to comply with the law. Then, too the farther west the switch goes, the better it would be for the equal division of the runaing time when the Maplewood extension soes through. Rutherford C. Plaut asked the chair at this point of the discussion if the discussion concerned the turnout or the extension to Maplewood. From the Water Board. Albert S. Comstock of the Water Board thought that the city ought to be protected in regard to its water interim, in which the council was in chambers drafting their resolution took nearly two hours. It settled the trolley turnout as far as this year's fair is concerned. Mayor Murphy called the meeting to order shortly after 8 o'clock with Councilmen Cruthers, Kinder and Kramer absent. Engineer Explained Plan. The recent petition was read by Clerk Moore and then City Engineer Pitcher asked for the original peti- tion, of Aug. 4, 1914, ‘which was also read. Attorney Whittlesey of New London, appearing as the representa- tive of the Shore Line company, asked Mr, Palmer to explain the plan’ of the layout petitioned for. Emgineer Pal- mer stated in reply to the attorney's question that the new switch was to be on the north side of the street. 430 feet in length from end to end, 300 in the clear. The distance from the south rail to the south curbing was 15 feet, leaving that amount of space in the ' street = unobstructed. The main track is 141-2 feet from the north curb and. the north rail of the propsed switch would be 41-2 feet from that curb. At Request of Fair Grounds People. The extension, Attorney Whittlesey stated, was asked for by the company at the request of the fair grounds as- sociation, to enable them to give bet- ter service to the public, a fifteen min- ute service from the city where now the service is only half hour. He was aware that an extra track in any street is something of a nuisance but the question js whether the benefit is sufficient to warrant this obstruction, He pelleved that the benefits would more than offset the inconveniences and urged the necessity of acting quickly and so if the petition was granted he would ask to waive the hearing before the public utilities com- mission in order that the track might be used this fall. Mayor Murphy asked if this 15 min- ute service was to be temporary or permanent and Mr. Whittlesey sald he did not believe that 16 minute service was warranted ordinarily and Supt. Anderson who sat beside him assented. Against Public Utilities Regulation Engineer Pitcher sald he hoped that Mr. Whittlesey’s request would not pass. A little object had been kept out of sight in asking for the con- cession. The layout did not cover the requirements of the law and of the public _utilities commission. That's the reason they do not want the ques- tion to do before the commission, he said. It is an iron bound rule of the public utilities commission that a Tail shall clear 5 feet and here the clear- ance was only 4 feet 6 inches. Mr. Pitcher quoted the general statutes of 1909 which state that any track in center location, which this is, shall leave a 12 foot clear highway except on bridges, turss on streets, at terminals or on turnouts mot—e=ceeding 150 feet. And if it goes over to the side loca: tion the company would lkewise be ruled out. g Opposed Concession. J. D. Haviland felt delicate in trying to_ {hrow cold water on what is termed public improvement. But the city of Norwich_has asked repeatedly for an extension to Maplewood cemetery and the trolley company has been told that there are to be five to seven thous- and people interested in that property by having friends there. The company says the line has never paid but ha the terminal any attraction to make it pay? Mr. Haviland claimed that the city of Norwich has the right to ask certain things even if they do mot on the face of the moment pay. Any con- cession asked by the railway company he should fight as they had not met the city half way. If they have money to put in 1600 feet of track for a three days' outing, certainly they can put a little more for 365 days in the year. Not the Best Place. Attorney A. J. Bailey, appearing for Elmer R. Pierson, favored a turnout but farther westward, and considered the place picked out very ill advised. On one end it would begin at the junction of five streets where teams Would have to cross it on a slant and at the other end it would interfere with the approach to Mr. Plerson's barn and stables and would be detri- mental to his business. The attorney queried why that place had been cnos- en and Mr. Palmer told him that it was the half way point in running time. Mr, Bailey thousht that moving the turncut a short distance to the west. ward would make practically no dif- ferance in the running time. Another consideration was that the tracks mains and that the trolley company ought to be required to take up the track if the mains had ever to be re- laid. Further objection the water ‘boara would not make. Claims Petition and Layout Legal. Attorney Whittlesey defended the legality of the petition and he applied Sectlorr 3824 of the General Statues of 1909 and claimed that the proposed layout w ‘wholly within the law, The turnout, ting over 150 feet in length came under the general provision and we are left beside it not 12 feet but 15 feet of absolutely clear road. He mentioned conditions already existing in the city, such as on the reoad to Taftville above the Greeneville car- barn whmree there is less than 8 feet clear on one side and more than 12 on the other. And what he desired to waive was not the hearing, but the five day notice of it, in order that the public utilities commission might hold the hearing at once. He was not there with a nigger in the woodpile, he maintained, and was not trying to put anything over on the council. He couldn’t if he wanted to, he said. The trolley road was criticized for not meeting the people half way but it seemed to be because they did not come all the way. Engineer Pitcher went back to the days when with Attorney Frank T. Brown he appeared before the rail- road commission at Hartford and the latter demanded a five foot clearance between the trolley track on the Taft- ille trolley line and the nearest ob- struction, and yet even now there are points where this clearancd does not exist. Speaking for the fire chief of Norwich, he called attention to the danger to the apparatus of a frog and the extra track at the junction of the streets. Corporation Counsel Fanning said that he had not conferred with the public utilities commission, but that President Perkins had spoken to the commission and learned that they had not made a ruling on this particular kind' of a case. At this point Mayor Murphy surrendered the chair to Sen- jor Alderman Gebrath. Mayor Gives His Views. The mayor said that from time to time he had made reports on trolley extersions, and now he was ready to make another one. He was sorry that President Perkins was not present. In petitioning for extensions in behalf of the city of Norwich he represented 25,000 to 30,000 people; the agricul- tural soclety represents about 40 peo- ple in Norwich. And yet they coma and want the company to grant them a siding for three days in the yeir while the company has no intention of granting the extensions that the city needs. Mr. Perkins told him, the mayor sald, that the trolley company had no money to extend its tracks in Nor- wich or elsewhere. On July 1S he called on Mr. Perkins for the last time. Mr. Perkins said on July 21 that he would bring the matter befoco the directors of the company. Since that time the mayor has not heard a word from Mr. Perkins. The matter was that of extensions to Maplewood cemetery and Mohegan park. The sidings that they have they do not take proper care of, the mayor claimed, and he spoke of the disgrace- ful condition of the tracks in Main street in the past. He called atténtion to Mohegan park, where the city of Norwich had invested $40,000, and he said that more people would use the park in three Sundays, if the trolleys were extended to it. than would use the fair grounds in five years. R. C. Plaut Replies. Mr. Plaut replied that any member of New London county can become a member of the society, whose purpose is education and stimulation of the agricultural and industrial interests of the county. The granting of the peti- tion would be no personal favor to the officers of the society, but they expe~t 35,000 to 50,000 people at the fair. This is'a city supposed to be on the line of progress and proper facilities ought to be provided for getting the people to the fair grounds, the only place there is for sports. There is nothing in it for the fair officers—only one man gets any money—he is the secretary, and his pay is $200 a year. Wants Creditable Accommodations. Adelard Morin said that a county fair iy a good thing for a city and fair- mindedness ought to bring all parties together. Mr. Morin told of his ex- periences in walking in to the city from past falrs and of the blockading of cars. He desired the trolley accom modations to be creditable to the cit Mayor Murphy sad that the petition it granted was granted forever, and in Yantic cemetery, where Dr. Howe read a committal service at the grave.
