Suburban and Valley Track Connection
Brings Up Question of Some
Months Ago.

Minbury Feb. 24--Work was begun
today connecting the trolley wire of the
Suburban road with that of the Worces-
ter and Blackstone Valley line at Mill
bury centre The question which still
hangs fire is: ''When will the Worcester
and Suburban officials begin giving
transfers." At the special meeting held
in Blanchard hall, when the officials Of
the Worcester and Blackstone Valley
road were given a hearing to explain of
what benefit the curve would be to the
citizens of the town, they dwelt princi-
pally upon the transfer system and the
great value which it would be to the
townspeople to be allowed to ride any
where within the town limits for one five
cent fare. Two hearings We're given the
company, but twice they were refused
by voters of the town. and the matter
was referred to the selectmen for de-
cision. After careful consideration the
town fathers decided against the wishes
of the townspeople and gave the COM
pany the franchise at which time it may
be revoked or renewed for a longer pc
riod
Several months have elapsed since the
company was given the privilege of
joining the tracks, and still the trans
fers which were promised are an un-
known quantity. Just why the Worces-
ter and Suburban officials refuse to is
sue the transfers is unknown. but it is
evident that they do not intend to live
up to their agreements
CAR DIDN'T COME
The people who patronize regularly
the Suburban road by riding to the city
on the $50 electric car, were on the war
path Friday morning owing to the fact
that the car which is scheduled to leave
at $50 never came.
George f. Chase, superintendent of the
construction department at the Quinsig-
amond wire mills; j. Henry Searles and
James H. Walsh were among those who
were obliged to wait. About 25 others
were found along the car route also
waiting patiently in the cold, chilly
morning air for the car. The reason Civ
en- for the non-appearance of the car
was that there was no car at the barn
to take out on that trip. Several of the
regular patrons Of this particular car
work at the wire works in Quinsiga-
mond village, and as they were late they
found the gate locked and would
not be let in by the gatekeep-
er until they had called at the office. 1t
is understood that an employee is fined
when late. The remainder of the pass
engers also worked in places where they
are supposed to "show up at o'clock
sharp.
