1t is matter Of daily inquiry by the business men
or Providence. what is the city doing and what

railroad terminal facilities, presented 70 the city
council Nov 2s, 1904 II was stated that soon as
the New York, New Haven and Hartford and the
Old COLONY Railroad compsny could get possess
sion OF the land OF the New York and
New England lsailroAd company for the
