ROBBINS STREET LINE.
Manager SeweII Does Not Like the
 Conditions Imposed By City.

You can impose ewhatever conditions you wish but there will not be road built in this city until we have put a line through Robbins street." was the amazing statement made by General Manager Sewell in the presence of citp Attorney Kellogg and several others after the meeting of the board of aldermen last evening, an account of which appears in another part of the paper.
 4is Mir Sewell was leaving the al dermanic chamber the city attorney said: II see you won q grand victory tonight. Mir Sewell." and the latter replied as stated above. He must have felt a trifie worried over the ac- ton of the board in agreeing to the conditions made by the board of pub lie works in regard to the Robbins street line.
 If the manager keeps his word there is not likely to be much doing in trolley circles in this city for some time. as the Connecticut Railway and Lighting company in all probability will not lay its rails through Robbins street to Middlebury under the con ditions imposed, and the board of all dermen is not likely to recede from the stand it has taken. There has been much done by the Brooklyn crowd to get what it thinks it is sad ly in need of and the committee after it's meeting with Mir Sewell on Sat urday expressed itself as highly pleas ed with the treatment given by the former and was confident that the proposed line in Brooklyn would be built.
