Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-06-02
BOARD OF ALDERMEN
Aldermen Hayes and wackie Had
 Discussion on Trolley.

night, Chairman Scully presiding, and all the members being present. A big delegation from the Waterbury Business Mems association was on hand to see what action would be taken on the application of the troll ley company for the extension of the line in Thomaston avenue. After the application was approved all smiled and lodged out into the corridor ap- parently well pleased with what had taken place.
 The trolley matter was taken from the table and put upon it's passage on motion of Alderman Fitzsimons. AL derman Hayes in lengthy address favored making the amount of filling to be done by the company 1000 cu- bic yards instead of 5000, and also advocated tacking on condition which would result in putting back at least two of the trains that have recently been taken of The alder man said that Waterbury is the laughing stock of the state on ac- count of it's meagre railroad facilities and added that it was not cre6itable to the railroad company, the business men or anybody else to have a condi- tion obtain which shuts man out from coming into or leaving Water- bury for five hours in the same day, Whenever 1t is proposed that a fra ternal organization hold convention here,' continued the alderman, there is always very strong opposi- tion to 1t because outsiders say when you get in here you can't leave until the next day"
 Alderman Hurley thought the troll ley cars offered ample opportunity for people to get in and out of town, and MT Fine was of the opinion that the transportation matter might safely be left in the hands of the merchants. What concerned him most was the paving of streets that are to be dou- ble tracked and thus tighten the bur den on the taxpayers.
 Alderman Mackie thought it a waste of time to discusssthe question further since 1t had been stated au- thoritatively that the company would not give any more. Alderman Hayes took exception to the remarks of Mir Mackie and said it was a shame to see a public servant talking for the rail- road company instead of aiming to serve the public. MT Mackie replied hotly that he was speaking for the people and not for any corporation and demanded an apology from the alderman from the fifth. At this Juncture both men were standing and glaring at each other like gladiators, when the chair interposed and stated that 1t was simply case where each viewed the question from different standpoint as he had a right to do and could without casting aspersions on anybody's motive. He presumed each was honest in his conviction and saw no reason why there should be any feeling over it. Notwithstand- ing what the chair had said Alder nan Hayes declared that he didn't like the attitude of the alderman from the first and the alderman from the first was not at all pleased with what his colleague from the fifth had said.
 At the request of Alderman sellew, President Lewis of the Watero lry Business Mems association, vas heard and assured the board that while he fully agreed with Alderman Hayes had said he was sorry to state that no additional trains will be put on until business warrants such ac- tion.
 After considerable more talk dur ing which Alderman Fitzsimmons wanted to know if Alderman Hayes was in order and the chair decided in favor of the gentleman from the fifth, the question was put and carried. Lo- body opposing it except Alderman Hayes, who later remarked that he was not opposed to it, but that he be- lieved it to be his duty to see if the city could not drive better bargain.
 All the recommendations of the board of public works were adopted except the one with reference to layout of South Main street. which was sent back for further investiga- tion.
 The proposition to call for bids for the sale of s250,000 worth of park bonds was tabled on objection to tm- mediate consideration by Alderman Hayes. The following new petitions were read and referred to the depart ment of public works:
