yesterday afternoon to appear before the
Legislative committee on the electric rail-
road question, but owing to the press of
other matters the hearing was put over

Road company who guarantee to put q line

ford and about the principal streets of the
| borough and agree to begin work as soon
as power to do so is granted by the legisla-
| ture. The prospect of d. F. Halls charter
bsing granted is not considered very bright.
