TOWN PLOT PEOPLE
Are Not Going to Let Trolley Question
 Die Easy.

Although there was no meeting called or scheduled of the Brooklyn and Town Plot Improvement com mittee last evening. there was ses- sion of the Town Plot Improvement committee, and this perhaps led some to believe that there was to be a meeting of the first named organiza- ton.
 At the gathering held on the hill last evening in the school building the trolley question was the chief thing that came up for consideration. It was finally voted to present a set of resolutions to the mayor and the board of public works asking for a layout for James street, Clark street and its proposed extension. and that no compromise be made with the Connecticut Railway and Lighting Go in regard to double tracking East Main and other improvements which it Is seeking unless Town Plot trol- ley is also considered in the deal.
 When the first mass meeting was called in Brooklyn and several hun dred residents of Brooklyn and Town Plot assembled in the Lyceum, the trolley to Town Plot was the main thing discussed, and all seemed to think that this matter should De pushed along and the company be given no rest until 1t had placed It's rails as far as the Town Plot school house at least. The Brooklyn and Town Plot Improvement committee was formed with the result that con ference after conference was held be- tween the committee, the city officials and the representatives of the trolley company. The matter went along so far that couple of hearings were given it at Hartford before the rail- road commissioners with the hope that some kind of deal would De fixed up in order that the trolley might be extended in other parts Of the city, for while the Town Plot line is untouched the committee in that section is liable to make such a warm fight that the company will hardly be able to come to terms with the city in regard to other lines.
 After the members of the Brook lyn committee thought that 1t had made as big fight for the trolley as was possible under the conditions, the matter was left in the hands of Mayor Thoms, and the city executive was told that he could go ahead and make deal with the company, and the committee from over the bridge would be satisfied, provided Brook lyn and Town Plot received deal that was at all what one might term as "a square deal.
 Mayor Thoms, General Manager Sewell and A. w. Paige had many meetings, but after each the trolley to Town Plot seemed just as Tar away as ever These meetings were watched with interest, but the Town Plotters did not see anything which looked like line coming their way.
 After many conferences the trolley line to Town Plot seemed to be fad ing away, as the Brooklyn and Town Plot committee had become interest ed in other Improvements, and for the past couple of months there has not been much said about the line on Town Plot, although the subject has been mentioned now and then.
 Thinking that the time was ripe to again start the trolley boom. the Town Plotters got together last night and once more voted to begin Its fight for that long wished for clang of the cars on the hill.
 The members of the society are willing to agree to almost anything which will bring the trolley up there and are now willing to have Clark street and its extension made fifty feet, although at first it was not in favor of this. William c. Hall, chairman of last nights meeting, was one of the com mittee appointed for the purpose oi obtaining water for Town Plot. He reported that the price of pipe was high and the approproation of $l5,. 900 would not be sufficient, but II the society waited until next year the appropriation would amount to about s24.OOO, an amount which would be large enough with which to do the work.
 The meeting adjourned without transacting any other business.
