be connected direct with Hartford by wa!
Of Southbridge, through Brimfield ant
Wales. Petitions will be presented t.
the legislature, asking the right to extent
the Southbridge and Sturbridge stree
railway, which Is the continuation of thu
Worcester and Southbridge street railway
to be built the coming season, from Fisk
dale to Brookfield, and from Fiskdal
through Brimfield and Wales, and al
these lines are eventually to be merge'
into one system. The building of thes
new lines will mean great deal to Wor
cester, and to all the towns along the pro
posed routes. Southbridge has for year
wished connection with rookfield, t.
shorten travel by way Of the Boston AM
Albany railroad. The distance is abou
nine miles. 1t will be easier end quicke
for Southbridge or Sturbridge or Fisk
dale man to get to Boston or other point
east, or to points west, by taking electri
car to Brookfield, than it will be to go t.
Worcester and take train from the city
The line from Ftskdale through Brimfiel
and Wales will be part of an air line fror
Worcester to Hartford. The Worceste
and Southbridge will be the first section
the Southbridge and Sturbridge the next
and lines to be built coon will make cor
nection with the suburban lines of Hart
ford. In comparatively short time,
Is predicted, a person can take car a
Worcester and go direct to Hartford
The route to Hartford, and consequent
to New York and other points beyon
Hartford, will be twenty-five miles short
er than by the way Of Springfield, grea
saving of time and some saving of money
1t Is not anticipated there will be an
difficulty in getting the required legisls
ton. because the public advantages Q
the proposed extension are obvious.
