When the trolley people asked for the

the tracks formed a loop. they promised
a seven and one-half minute Roadway be-
tween 6 a. m. and $3.50 a, m. and from 4
+. m. to 7:90 p. m. Councilman Halsey
claimed that the trolley officials were not
living up to their agreement, and that the
town was not getting the promised service.

cars run to the loop between 8 o'clock and
z o'clock. and that on the car he went
homo on the passengers were dumped out
at the big Tree" in Washington avenue,

men on the cars that did run during the
rush hours, when running back from the
Kingsland street loop, paid no attention
to people who hailed them.

ing the franchise granting the track ex-
tension on Franklin avenue, Glendale street
