 The borough meeting called for last Tuesday evening, to vote upon resembling the vote passed at the annual meeting, instructing the court of burgesses to ask of the legislature an act requiring the building of new railroad passenger sta- tion at Stafford Springs, was very largely attended. A vote was passed to adjourn the meeting until Tuesday, May 9th, at 7.30 p. m., an amendment being rejected to make the adjournment for one week, J. V. Squier and Alvarado Howard advo- eating the amendment, saying that the railroad officials would then be present to show and explain their plans, and urging 1t as measure of fairness to the road. The opponents of the amendment stated that their proposition to delay all action until May gave the railroad company am- pie time to show their intentions, and that if they gave evidence of good faith the passage of the act would not be press ed. The meeting then being held was called at the desire of the railroad off eials, and if they wished to be heard they should have been there with plans. Speak CTS cast doubt upon the value of promises coming from fountain of so many broken ones, and the sentiment of great major ity of those present was most decidedly in favor of having all fair means used to secure 2. new passenger station.
