GREEN'S FARMS.

There is much opposition to the new
location OF the Green's Farms station,
but protests and petitions seem alike un-
availing. Two petitions have been in
circulation, one asking that the site be
kept near its present location, the other
that it be placed nearer Southport, not
far from the ParsSell property. Presi-
dent Clark was here, one day last week
and said that the station would have to
go up toward Southport, us there was no
other place for it. Notice has also been
given Station Agent Crossman, it is IN
derstood, that he will occupy the new
station about November l. 1t will be Il
counterpart of the new buildings just put
up at Southport and Fairfield. The old
station is Of no value and no repairs will
be made, though the chimney and much
of the wall fell when it was moved. The
new location will drive people living i'm
the western part of the Farms to West-
port for trains and mail, while it will
capture some who now patronize South
port. A number of Green's Farms peo-
pie have recently sought President Clark
at New Haven, hoping to induce him to
change the location; but he has given
no satisfaction to those able to obtain an
interview. 1t is said that there have
been % commuters from the Farms dur
ing the Summer and that all or nearly
was announced. early this week, that the
station was to be put up at once. the of
