 Now comes an agreeable surprise III the trolley matter. The selectmen have been taking their time in regafu to giving their decision about the troi- ley hearing and the extension ques- ton. now the principal agitation, bids fair to become even more interesting. It appears that large number of pub lie spirited citizens are of the impress sion that the trolley company should mo- be granted full rights and priv ileges to enter our town without some concessions being made on their Slde. Accordingly a demand will be made Dy the selectmen that the trolley people light the main roadway from here 10 the Waterbury town line at frequent intervals; with electric lights on the various poles as stipulated. It should be understood that the trolley people, according to their layout. will enter Watertown along the highway with out the expenditure of one cent for the
  grade is there. hence there is little 10 do but to lay the tracks. If the Con- necticut Railway and Lighting Co were obliged to purchase the right Of way to Wateftown and make their own grades it would cost the company nearly $5O,000. The town is practical ly saving the company every cent of this snug little sum. Who says We shouldn't have few lights in re- turn?
