Annual Election of Officers Informal
 Discussion of Important Matters
 The annual meeting of the members of the Connecticut Street Railway as- sociation was held at the office of the Fair Haven and Westville company yesterday morning.
 The business transacted was chiefly routine and the following officers were elected: H. Holton Wood, Derby, pres ident; H. s. Parmelee New Haven, vice president; F. s. Goodrich, Hartford, treasurer; E. s. Breed, New Britain, secretary.
 A. M. Young, Waterbury; I. A. Kel- sey, West Haven; G. A. w. Dodge, New Haven; H. Holton Wood, Derby; H. s. Parmelee, New Haven; E. s. Goodrich, Hartford, treasurer; E. s. Breed, New Britain, executive committee.
 A number of matters of importance , were informally discussed About twenty members were present, representing all the leading roads of the state.
 The Bridgeport Traction company was not represented at the meeting, dS It Has llut yet JoillSll tiie ctS0oSle,- tion.
 An interesting fact concerning the meeting Is that the Meriden Street rail- way and the Stamford Street railway, two important electric roads, were not represented. Both these roads are own ed, as Is generally known, by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Rail- road company. When these roads were the property of their former manage l ments they were members of the as- sociation and their officers took an ac- 1 tive interst in the affairs of the organ i iZation.
 i Members of the association yesterday
 in speaking of the rumors that are cur
 rent regarding the prospects of fight
 in the next sesson of the general as-
 sembly, state that the electric roads have nothing to ask and that the Con- solidated is in the same position, so, ac-
 cording to their statements, there will be nothing to fight over. After the business was over the as- sociation had banquet at the New | Haven house.
