ROCKYIIIE-

The officers of the Rockville branch of the New England railroad will probably ask for a hearing before the railroad committee of the legislature on the pe- titIon of Hartford, Manchester & Rock vile Tramway Company to build an elec- trio road by the Burke's Hill and Windsor avenue route. The officers of the branch claimed that the trolley will be injurious to them, and may, if a charter Is granted to tho electric road, be the means of clos ing the Rockville branch which runs to Vernon. The officers say that the d. rectors cannot run 1t If thrown back on their hands, which the New England people threaten to do when the road be- comes unprohtable. The e200, 900, which includes @40,00O preferred stock, would be lost to the stockholders in this case. This they consider just cause for griev- anoe, and think the citizens should stand by the steam road in preference to the trolley. While their grievance Is we'll founded, the admirers of the trolley insist that it will not hurt the steam road to the extent claimed, but it will accommodate hundreds who desire to use the trolley for pleasure rides because they are unable to hire teams. The matter of hearing will Do decided upon this week.-HGrtford C0Urhne.
