 Long before the opening of the pub lie hearing on the application of the Connecticut Co to lay a switch track on South Main street, which was held last night, the court room was we'll crowded, and each one present was loaded to the muzzle with ann to be fired at the company for the method in which they have served the people of this town. The hearing itself amounted to nothing less than severely arraigning' the and when the questions were asked of the representatives who were present and which seemed in all fairness should be asked, all that could be obtained from them would be to evade a direct answer. Many of the citizens spoke on the matter and all seemed opposed to granting the request, at least until such time as some concession will be made by the company to the Naugatuck public. Burgess Jackson brought the hearing to close when he stated that he would not vote on the granting of the petition unless the company would agree to pave Main street be- tween the curbings, from Hotchklss street to Union City bridge. and also hat the fare be reduced from 10 cents to cents from Naugatuck to Ex- change place. Waterbury. The hear Ing was closed by a vote being passed allowing the petitioners to withdraw their application without causing the board to act on requests contained therein. IL could not be learned last night if the company would do any thing more towards securing the switch at this point.
