drawal of President Mellen OF the New
York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad
company from all official connection with
the Massachusetts trolley companies held

The New Haven company has from the
first held that the Boston corporation as

TO hold those Massachusetts trolley prop
critics which were some time ago trans
