Port Chester, N. Y, Dec. 22.-The
Highway commissioners, of Rye, West
chester county, at o'clock this after
noon, will hold a public meeting in
the town here to discuss the question
of a franchise to construct a trolley
road in the old Boston Post road from
the village of Rye to the town of
Mamaroneck. The Port Chester street
railway company made application for
a franchise. The request is regarded
as one of the most audacious ever
made of the town of Rye, and if it is
granted and the road is built one of
the finest and most historic pieces of
highway in the country will be ire
trievably ruined. On either side of the
roadway is lined with handsome
estates, which in several instances have
been in the families of their present
owners since the revolution. Among
them are the homes of William H.
Parsons, Joseph Bark, Frank Daniels,
the actor; Jasper f. Corning, and the
Osborn and Jay estates. On the latter
is the grave of John Jay, first chief
justice of the United States. Joseph
Bark has spent large sum in improv-
ing the road in the last ten years and
building drinking fountains for men and
horses. Mr.. Bark and nearly all of
the other residents are unalterably OPP
posed to the trolley. About a year ago
the company secured a franchise be-
tween Rye and Mamaroneck in Rail
road avenue, comparatively back, road
but the supreme court decided that it
could not build. the reason being ad-
vanced by Judge Woodward that
street railway companies, even when
they have secured the consent of the
local authorities, have no right to
appropriate highways that have been
so largely improved at private expense.
Another franchise is asked for in the
Boston Post road through Larchmount
Manor, by the Tarrytown White Plains
& Mamaroneck railway, which is now
controlled by the 'Huckleberry" COM
pany. The residents of the Manor have
shown themselves to be almost unani-
mously opposed to the dispoiling of
this famous old highway, and a number
of other Indignation meetings are sche-
duled which promise to be lively. The
road passes through some of New
York's most beautiful suburbs on the
shores of Long Island Sound.

Boston, Dec, 22-The 279th anniversa-

Plymouth rock will be celebrated by all

were being subjected by the mother
country, and openly to advocate
measures to resist the increasing tyran-
