formed under these conditions nnd un. der the petition and application of said company shall be d0no and completed on or before the III day of III, 18O-, and said company shall have said railway fin operation and open to the use of the public on or before said date.
 On motion of MT spain the report was tabled.
 At this juncture Attorney Church, representing West Sid0 hill property owners came forward and read tie resolutions referred to herein before, after which he asked hearing for some of his clients, starting off with c. A. Colley, who, opened rather mod estly but finally became bold and wound up by referring to the opposi- ton as playing dog i'll the manager. Mir Colley said he had appeared before the board of public works and talked at some length regarding the wisdom of going ahead with Robbins street, as planned by the Elton board. It ap- pears he had hardly left the meeting when they voted to go over all this again and make tho street seventy feet wide This reminded him of ;l1l occasion when John O'Neill spoke for two hours on q case before a juror in Wolcott and when John got through talking the juror pulled bis decision out of his hat and commenced to real it. MT Colley urged the working of Robbins street at its present width, not altogether on account of tho trol- ley but because they want q grade so that the fire engines can get up there. He considered that the logical route for the trolley and said he believed that when God made the world he left that notch there for the Woodbury trolley. It IS the easiest way to get into and out of Waterbury and every man aud every animal wants to go along the easiest way and in direct line with the exception of the pig. He charged the Brooklyn and Town Plot people with working ill tlIe dark and said he didn't think such tactics honorable. Mir Colley said he is q re- publican but he never got anything on that account and he ogten> wonders why they don't kick him out of the party because he gives them pretty hard kicks when he feels so disposed. In any case he was always open and above board and he was sorry to sec his neighbors on the other side of the hill adopt the dog in the manager pol icy.
 Patrick McNamara, one of the i Brooklyn men, pitched into MT Colley ! without gloves. You never got any thing from the city government" re- marked Mir McNamara. looking across
 the way at the orator from West Side
 hill. ''Is that so?' How is it that i whenever you get hold of a bit of land l the street in front of it is fixed up and you get what others had been denied for years? You bought that property
 on North Riverside street and built
 houses up in the air and then came
 along and talked the city into chang l ing the grade of the street to cores pond to that of your houses. Prob
 ably you got these things because you
 were a good republican, but in an!
 case I know others can't get theil
 streets cared for even after they have paid their assessments. I have no ob jection to the grading of Robbins street for the trolley provided the company foots the bill, but do ob i ject to spending any money out oi
 the city treasury for the work so long
 as there are so many older streets
 that have not yet been graded"
 | Hans Rasmussen wanted to be 'ln
 derstood as having no objection tt
 Robbins street, but he didn't want any
 public money expended there for thu
 benefit>of the trolley. He knew rhat the merchants want the trade of tl, people from Woodbury and other out i side towns. but he thought the mer
 chants should have some consideration
