VOICE OF THE PEOPLE
Still Ringing Out for Electric
Railway Facilities.

DO NOT GRANT THE PEOPLE
THESE RIGHTS.
"The electric railway extended down
to Smyrna would be a great benefit to
the people, but am sore afraid that
such a thing will never happen, 50 long
as the Pennsylvania railroad has such
control of the Legislature.
"If the legislators would vote for
trolley they might lose their passes
James p. Hoffecker."
The pretty town of Smyrna with It's
energetic, hustling population of 1000,
wants to say a great big word or two
in regard to the proposed extension of
the trolley to that wlde-awake place.
The whole town is deeply interested
and enthusiastic in its efforts to have
the trolley system extended, for with
the present mode of travel, it is almost
isolated from the rest CT the world. The
high railroad rates and the present
method CT going TO Clayton to take a
train render travel very expensive and
highly inconvenient.
The advocates of the extension are
profuse in their enthusiasm. not alone
for their local interest, but think the
proposed movement would open up a
section Of the state hitherto compare
lively isolated, To fresh new life and ac-
tivity
