An Extension
in w ebster
TO NORTH VILLAGE.
Cost of Construction More
Than a Dollar a Foot.

Webster, Dec. 2S.-The last hammer
was sounded on the North Village ex-
tension of the Webster and Dudley
Electric Street Railway this noon, and
as its echoes died away, this much
wanted and needed loop was completed
and ready for occupancy by the Off
Gals of the road. Mucn TO the delight
and satisfaction of those residing in
the little hamlet at North Webster,
which is almost a separate part of
Webster. except they all have to come
down town to do their SHOPPING, the
village is by itself.
Not only will this new division bene-
fit the people living In that section of
the town. but it win greatly increase
the income Of the road.
The extension will cost about $4,000.
The length of the street is 1000 feet,
and the line is laid from East Main
street over Slater and terminating on
North Main street. Under the super
vision of ]. NJ. Fuller Of F. 7. Ley
& Co., of Springfield, the work has
been most satisfactorily done and all
in praise Of Mr.. Fuller's work. The
superintendent has been in charge of
the construction of the entire local sys-
tenn, matchmaking Chase avenue,
block paving Pleasant street, and dur
ing the past few months he has been
in town, has made a host of friends
and has proved without a doubt that
he is a. valuable attache Of the Ley
Construction Company
A trial car was rim over the new
extension this afternoon, and with the
officials, selectmen and representatives
Of the press, everything was found in
first-class shape. Tie line Will be
open to the public at once.
