 Hartford, Jan. 29.-There was pros pect of a busy day before the legisla- tive committees at the capitol this af- ternoon as hearings before many com mittees had been scheduled, but for the most part, the hearings were post poned.
 The committee on railroads held it's first meeting for hearings this after noon. Several important matters were scheduled, but as parties in interest were not ready, the matters were post poned.
 Several New Haven gentlemen were present in the interests of the Manu- facturers Street Railway company of New Haven. The proposed route of this road has been alluded to in the Courier" Hon. Lynde Harrison, who drew the charter of the company, stated to the committee that the road was intended to accommodate the Grapevine Point section of New Haven or that portion where large number of factories were located. He con tinued:
 The plan of the road is for the con- struction of a line in front of these factories in order to transport loaded freight cars to and from the tracks of the Consolidated railroad. Side tracks will also be built, running into the factory yards This is the primary reason that was offered when the com pany was chartered. This measure originated with ex-Governor Bigelow and just before his death and at his request, I drew up the charter The matter was delayed during the dead lock in the legislature, but in 1893 the charter was adopted"
 Superintendent Kendall of the Quin- nipiac Brewing company, who is one of the chief promoters of the enterprise, wished for postponement of the hear ing for several days. Corporation Counsel Driscoll requested that the
