 TROLLEY EXTENSION.
Move Line of Tracks Further From Center of Highway-selectmen and Engineer Smith Held a Conference Yesterday-Football Game.

The Connecticut Railway and Light Ing company and Watertown's select men have finally gotten together ana reached an amicable settlement in re gard to the trolley road extension rom Oakville to Watertown. It has all along been the desire of the local SC lectmen to keep the tracks as Tar aWay from the center of the highway as pos sible, owing to the tearing up of the Telford road, along which the layout of the proposed extension IS estaD lished. All the way from Oaky1lle the selectmen have changed the layout of the trolley road, moving the layout of the tracks from three to five feet nearer the gutter. This will meet with approval from local people, especially from those who use the highway to any extent. The surveyors and En- gineer Smith held a conference here yesterday afternoon with the select men and it is understood everything is in readiness to proceed
