 Sept. 2S.-The selectmen have handed down the decision in the matter of the petition of the Connecticut Railway and Lighting company to lay double tracks through the village, First se- lectman Morgan dissenting from the other members of the board. The deci- sion that the application states fol- lows: Now, therefore, we, the select men, have heard all interested therein; do make our decision that the applica- ton of the Connecticut Railway and Lighting company to double track it's line from Cornwall avenue to the turn out at Waverly Inn is hereby denied, but the double tracking at Ives corner, South Main street, is approved by cer- tain conditions. Mir Morgan said he thought it would be for the best inter- est of the town of Cheshire to grant the application to grant the double tracking from Cornwall avenue to Wa verly Inn. With this and the double track to Waterbury better time can be made, which the public will be glad of. Some of our citizens do not seem to want Cheshire to grow or have people come here to live, will not sell land or lots except they get city prices, but it is for their best interest to sell at a reasnable price and induce people to come here and build homes. Taxes would be less if more money was aid out here by those that made Cheshire their home.
