largely attended hearing on the petition
for the right to extend the tracks of the

company to Derby. When the hearing
opened shortly after o'clock the Sem

of Derby and large number Of New

many present to be heard on the petit
tion Senator Burton of the committee
announced that the petitioners and the
remonstrants would each be given an
hour and a half to present their cases.
The granting Of the petition was ia
vored by large number of citizens of
Derby, but several merchants Of that

on the ground that If there was a troll
ley connection between Derby and New
Haven the business Of Derby merchants
would be injured. On the other hand

Attorney Ely, of New Haven, ap-
peared to represent the petitioners and
Attorney Robbins, of Hartford ap-
peared to represent the Consolidated

President Parmelee at the opening of
the hearing stated that the Fair Haven
road could build the extension without
issuing bonds and that the fare between
New Haven and Derby would probably
be fifteen cents. Nineteen petitions
were then introduced containing about
3, 900 signatures in favor of the proposed
extension.

a parallel to the Consolidated through |
the proposed extension but confined |
himself to introducing the testimony Of |
a number of merchants and citizens of |

the entire afternoon and the hearing
was adjourned without having reached |
