 It is said that not all of the local merchants are in favor of the trolley. Some of them are much against the idea from the start. They say that 1t will take business away from Water town because the people can reach the city so cheaply an easily. If the peo- pie are all going to flock to the city to do their trading why don't some ot these same kickers locate there and set up store? It is just as good 8 place as anywhere else.
