citement in city hall tonight at the
meeting Of the committee on railroads
and bridges and the committee on
streets OF the board OF aldermen when
matters pertaining to the widening Of
Chapel street and the widening Of the
trolley tracks arise. There will be dele
cations Of property holders and delega-
lions Of merchants. and delegations of
others to protest. and there will be
chances for people with ambitions to
shine in oratorical lines to practice on
their helpless listeners.
Tho business before the committee on
streets besides their routine. will be to
hear the petition of John 8. Bradley
and others for a protest against the
widening Of Chapel street This will
be supplemented by a communication
from the mayor on the opposite side
of the question, the latter being an or
der that the work be continued which
was read to the board Of aldermen on
\ Acnday night and referred to the
street committee. Mr.. Bradley is very
much worked up over, the matter Of
widening Of the tracks as he claims
that It will injure his business as a
manufacturer on lower Chapel street.

two followed. Other members Of the

night are Harry Lacey and DR.. Daniel

The committee on railroads and

tests from citizens in their public
hearing, There will be committee
Of Church street merchants TO OPP
pose the petition Of the Connecticut
company for permission to relay its
trolley tracks and widen the space
between them along Church street
from Chapel street to George street.
The narrowness Of the street and the
difficulty that wagons would have In
backing up to the curb are the rea-
sons that the merchants have as their
cause for opposing the petition. The
railroad company want the permis-
sion, they say, because the tracks are
/. too near now for safety and new
position eleven inches further apar
would improve the condition of un-
safety. ra,,
The petitions before the committee
on railroads and bridges are as fol-
