HARTFORD AND ITS SUBURBS AND NEIGH
BORING TowNs-BIG STREET RAILWAY
SCHEME.
Anumber of petitions will be presented
to the legislature which IL granted will give
Hartford and suburban places the most |
complete system of street railroads of any |
city of it's sizs in the country. One is by |
the Hartford and Wethersfeld Horse Rail
road company asking for an extension of |
its lines through the towns of Newington,
Pennington, Windsor, Esst Hartford and
New Britain. It also asks for an amend
| ment to it's charter increasing the capital
stock from $500, 900 to 81 600, 900 and also
striking out the word 'horsen from the
name of the corporation. This Is understood
| to mean q general system of electric street
cars throughout the city and connecting
with adjoining towns.
| Another petition Is that of the Hartford
and West Hartford railroad. The present
charter of this company givls 1t the right
to run its lines through West Hartford and
| Pennington and connect with the Hartford
and Wethersfeld company. The proposed
amendment will give it the right to connect
| with the old company from Cedar Hill by
way of Fairfield and New Britain avenues
and Vernon street and also with the New
Britain TramwaJ company.
| Another petition covers a line of electric
railroad from Hartford to M,ddletown, be-
ginning at the Bee Hive on Temple street,
Hartford, and running through Temple to
Front through Front to Woodbridge,
Charter Oak, Governor, Willis and Maple
and Franklin avenues to Wethers6eld,
thence to Rocky Hill, Cromwell and Mid
, dletown to a point near the railroad depot
, in that city. The signers are General Will
, liam 81. Bulkeley, Austin Il. Peck, Fred S.
Brown, Charles NJ. Henney, L. B. Plimp-
, ton, William b. Goodrich, James Camp
bell, A. G. Loomis and w. E. Goodwin.
. Another petition Is that of company
4 under the name of the Hartford Suburban
Railway company, asking for power to
combine all the horse and electric railroads
+ centering in Hartford under one manage
ment, upon such terms as may be agreed
f by the parties interested.
a These petitions if granted would prove
t of inoalculable benefit not only to Hartford
i but also to the outlying towns. 1t is moi
J, | believed that there will be any opposition
. to them in the legislature.
It SEARCHED HIGH AND Low.
