 Following the announcement of the result of the vote Judge A. Heaton Rob- ertson moved that the meeting adjourn. Attorney Charles G. Morris, of this city, son of the late Governor Luzon B. Mor-
 ris, said he desired to speak and was
 given an opportunity of addressing the meeting.
 He criticised the facilities between New Haven and NeWtoWn on the Berk-
 shire division, as inadequate. MT Mor-
 ris has a summer home in that town
 and encountered much trouble going
 back and forth daily. He referred to
 Chief Passenger Agent Connor as the
 "chief discourager of traffic" and said
 he believed the policy of the officials ot
 the road seemed to be to take what was
 thrown at them in the way Of business
 instead of seeking new business.
 The speaker felt as though, in the
 summer season especially, ,Newtown witl
 it's elevation of 500 feet would furnish
 business enough to make its passenger traffic pay. as Woodbridge, with only 3O l feet Of elevation, has attracted a sum rner population. He said he represented i the stock of Charles Pratt & Co. of New York and of Eugenia l.. Morris.
 Judge Hall said in response that h. could only state that the New Haver road was here to carry all the passen f gers it could. To do this 1t had to rel s largely upon it's agents. The fact tha , the road carried several millions mor
 last year than ever before ought to in dicate that the agents had been doing
 good business. He further said tha
 MT. Morris could have taken the matte : to Second Vice President Todd, who fa charge of traffic matters, and to whor MT. Connor reported. He thought tha v in that event Mir. Morris would not hay Il had any fault to find with the investi z gation.
 | The meeting then adjourned an
 those present were invited to partak t of a lunch served in the building. l. Judge Hall was congratulated b e many of the stockholders upon the goo h showing made by the road in his las d annual report,
