WATERFOWL
A KICK COMING.

"A NUN COmkN0s
Now that the trolley cars have COM |
menced to run on the Watertown road
those who have to drive that way are
in a great deal of useless pro-
family. In passing corner there is only
just room enough for team to squeeze
through, the width of the Car being SUI
ficient to cover almost the whole road.
To put trolley tracks in the center Of q
road that has about 60 feet in width OF
telford surface may be all right, but to
put them on little, narrow strip of tel
ford like the Watertown road is shame.
Why the town of Waterbury after spend
ing thousands of dollars in building this
road allows the trolley company to 60 to
work and spoil it would surely puzzle
even the traditional Philadelphia lawyer.
If it was so that by refusing to allow the
company to lay rails on the road that the
trolley cars between Waterbury and
Oakyille would be prevented from get
ting there altogether, then we could I'M
derstand the action of the selectmen in
permitting the tearing up of the road.
The trolley company would not stop,
however, even If they we're prevented
from taking possession of the road. II
they could find no other way of getting
there they would buy their road bed just
the same as q steam railroad has to do.
Trolley companies are in business for
what money there is in it, and most OF
them are making money and making 1t
fast. Why should they be granted priv,
ileges that other companies do not get ?
Where ia the difference between allowing
the steam cars and trolley cars to run on
the public highway9 The one would
seem to have as much right as the other.
