THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 22. 1900.

The citizens of Willimantic have talk en steps to apply for a local trolley charter, the road to be built and held in . kind of trusteeship for the city. This is interesting and instructive and IS the first positive venture by any city in the state to own and control street rail way. It is also a distinct reaction against the old practice SO common h Connecticut towns of giving up valua- ble franchises to trolley companies and verious corporations and repenting Tn sack cloth and ashes afterwards. This is big stride in the right direction by the people of Willimantic and we can not refrain from congratulating them. There are many towns in the state today that are burdened by various corpora tions which owe their very existence from the towns that gave them gratuit- ously all they own and control. In or der to obtain franchises, water, lighting and street railway corporations offer Rk6Ab lud uCSucutS tO thO poWh "IASAa blindly give them all they ask for and after wards find themselves in the clutches of an octopus which continues to thrive and wax fat and powerful fed upon the small earnings of the poor la- borers who have no redress. Blessed is the town which owns and controls it's own water, it's own lighting and it's own street railway. By such system CO., operative company is formed of which every taxpayer is a member. Wherever such is the case the cost of water and lighting is nearly one half less to indi- viduals than where the same is control ed by private companies and corpora tions.
