 l The New Haven Street Railway com panyis to make some extensive changes | in it's tracks at Morris Cove. It will | be remembered that when this road 1 was first built there was considerable objection raised and a long contest en- 1 sued, and it was necessary to build
 the road over private property from Dr. G. s. Mallorys residence to the l Parker place Now that the differe- 1 ences have all been settled, the com | pany is to relay the tracks. and they l are to be removed from the lawns to | the highway. The tracks will be re- | laid for a distance of nearly a quarter of mile. The roadway is exceeding 1 ly narrow at the place where the tracks
 are to be laid, but it is not believed that 1 there will be any further trouble re- garding the matter. The change in lay
 out varies from six to twelve feet out side the present one. The work of re- laying the tracks will be commenced next Monday.
