ut a murmur.
Mr.. Hall laid considerable st,ess On ~
the fact that the Peoples line asked lor
tbe location first and in justice nom
estv and fairness 1t should pc given
first consideration. Further ms eoii 70
pany plans to open up O. dig tla1 60. u
country at Lake View while the CON
solidated asks for but part OF the
distance. The desirability or lncrets
ing taxable property in the east emu
80 tbe citv was also brought forward as
an argument. c,a.soi,-
dated did not need the location IN CUES.
| ton to help out receipts because y a
lhad the location would have been asked
yar aevefaI months ago, He appealed
10 sense of integrity, honor ana SCUM
judgement Of the board to consider the
matter in an impartial manner.
In reply to Alderman Barrett 'Mr.
HAL said that his clients stood READY
to build bridge as they agreed several
months before to pay 10 per cent Oh 'ne
cost Of the proposed eAVeHsioh VI
Bloomingdale Road.
Alderman Lichtenfels wanted 70
know If Mr.. Hall thought the city
could afford to spend $4,000 at TINS
time in extending the street for benent
of the road. Mr. Hall believed that II
would be a good investment EVENT.
ually. .,.1..
the matter of extending Bloomlngdale
Road had been linked too closely with
the petition Of the Peoples company.
The Lake View Village Improvement
Society advocated the petition of his
comnany and the hearing relative 70
widening and extending Bloomlngoale
Road came up at the same time the
railway petition was heard, but the
construct a bridge or widen the street.
DR. Barrett stated that his company
had a petition before the selectmen or
Shrewsbury for locations In that town
which would have to be abandoned II
locations were refused in worcester.
He reviewed the history Of many pc
titions and hearings in which the
Peoples Company has figured ana en-
phasi2ed the fact that no opposition
ever developed to the request of his
associates He considered their petit
ton No. and not No. 10. All his COM
pany asked was fair play and the con-
sideration to which it was entitled He
maintained that the petition OF the
Consolidated should aot be considered
until some action was taken relative
to granting the petition Of the Lake
line He thought there should be some
outlet and inlet to the city, not covered
by Consolidated rails.
Alfred Thomas of the Worcester g.
Blackstone Valley Company asked that
action of the board on the petition so
far as 1t related to Grafton Street be
postponed until after the hearing on
the petition of his company.

Cutler, Prentice Bros, Rice & Griffin
and others asking that no locations be
