 COMPANY AGREE

The difference between James Foley of Fuller street and the Connecticut Railway $ Lighting company, was settled yesterday afternoon without either having recourse to law or law yers The difficulty was over a pole which the company wished to put up on the sidewalk in front Of MT Foley's house, and which the latter would not permit. MT Foley understood that an- other pole was to go up, which would make two on his sidewalk. He consid- cred this was giving the company en- tirely too much for nothing, and the workmen had to quit work Superin- tendent Meth, however, explained mat ters in their proper light, saying that the company did not desire to put up another pole, but merely wished to change the old one. MT Foley was sat isfied with this and the Workmen re- sumed operations.
