A petition is being circulated among
the citizens OF Manchester In order to
obtain the sentiments OF the people In
regard 10 a proposition made by the Rich
mOnd and Manchester Electric Railway
Company to special committee OF the
city. Council on Tuesday night, which was
as follows:
THAT the company be allowed to dis
continue running cars on Decatur ana
Perry streets, and make a continuous
route on Hull street, over Mayos bridge,
Semmes street, the company 10 retain its
franchise on both Decatur and Perry
streets just the same as though the said
company were running their cars over
these Streets
This petition is having very few signers,
as the people object to the removal OF the
Perry-street line back % Semmes street.
They do not mind the removal OF the
Decatur-street line, as 1t is only a block
from Hull street, and runs parallel with
that line, 50 that II Is not really neces-
sary. What the people want is two lines,
one up Hull and the other up Perry.
They want each line TO have through
cars, with schedule as short as pOssiOIe,
and there seems to be no good reason
why they should not have II. The matter
will be brought to a head one way or
another in a few days The special com
mttee OF the Council agreed 10 the street
car peoples proposition that the sent-
ment of the people in regard 10 the
change should be taken. provided the
company bore all expense incLieut there
