The result of Mr.. Young's visit
last week, account of which is given
on the first page, gives promise of i'm
provement of the local electric light
service. The company have author
lied Superintendent Hancock to rent,
if possible, power from some local
plant until more permanent plant or
power can be established. The Rock
we'll mill power at Foxvilfage, or the
idle engine and boiler at Smith &
Cooley's mill at Glynville mill, are
about the only ones that might be
available The proprietors of above
properties are considering the matter
of renting, and it is hoped that ar
rangements may be made with one or
the other. If such arrangements are
made, the dynamo at the electric COM
pany's present plant would be re-
moved to the new connection, and the
new connection would b used for the
arc lights, leaving the misunderstood
lights for the old power. This would
give ample power to furnish good
lights until the power from Palmer
is brought down, or an entirely new
plant is erected here in the borough.
The efforts started by. the court of
burgesses for better lights will be ap-
preciated by the public.
Springfield Republican: Engineer
A. B. Call is at work at the present
time ON . proposed street railway line
from Stafford Springs to the state
line. connecting at the last point with
the line running between Hartford
and this city. When the survey is
completed the promoters of the road
will be in position to ask for a
franchise at the next session of the
Connecticut legislature. The line,
if built, will be about 81 miles long
and will connect a number of towns
and villages Those interested in the
scheme believe that there is demand
for q railway in the section which it
is planned to cover, and that the
Crystal Lake region, through which
the road would pass, would be devel-
.oped by the road, if built. From
Stafford Springs TO Crystal Lake the
route of the railway is said to be over
the country road, but from this point
to the state line to run over private
land for a considerable distance. This
will enable the road to make better
time than over the travelled roads.
Options on the desired land are said
to have been secured. Two concerns,
one in New York and the other in
Chicago, will investigate the possible
chances for a satisfactory investment
of capital when the promoters get the
project in shape.
