VIII Play In Norwich.

'oe's Outing.
The class of '09, Killingly High
school, held an outing at Alexander
lake Tuesday. The day was devoted 10
various pastimes that are afforded to
visitors at the resort. One feature was
a baseball game which was won by the
supposedly weaker team of the class.
The class was organized into an asso-
citation, the officers of the class holding
their same elective places. The class
will hold at outing at the lake each
year and thereby maintain the class
spirit. About twenty of the thirty
eight members of the class attended
the outing.
Attawaugan Street Railway Company.
The act Incorporating the Attawau
gan Street Railway company which
passed the house Tuesday will, if ap-
proved by the senate and Governor
Weeks, mean that a very desirable
trolley extension is to be built in the
north part of the town Of Killingly.
The plan is to build a trolley line
from Attawaugan crossing to the viii
lage of that name and then on to Bal
louvilie and Pineviile with Daniels
village as the probable terminal.
The proposed road will open terri
tory where there is good prospect Of
doing a profitable passenger and
freight business.
The freight business in fact is ex-
pected to be the big paying feature Of
the enterprise. There are several mills
along the proposed trolley route, all
Of which are now dependent upon
teams to draw their freight from the
railroad at Attawaugan crossing to the
which is more than a mile away.
This new street railway company
proposes to connect their track with
that of the steam road at Attawaugan
crossing and build a spur track at each
mill. This plan would make it posi-
BILE for them to take bulk cars from
the steam road tracks and deliver them
direct to the consignees at their mills.
Such an arrangement would mean a
great saving in carriage for the mill
companies compared with their present
method of getting freight to their
mills. A surprising amount of cotton
coal and other mill supplies are re-
ceived by these mills in the course Of
a year.
The New Haven road interests have
held a charter for about ten years to
build a road over the identical route
laid out by the new company. They
have to build, however, and there has
been no immediate prospect of their
doing so.
Consequently the new company has
stepped in and applied for a charter
1t Is not believed that the New Haven
railroad people will oppose the build
ing of the road under THE new charter.
The matter of generatir power for
the operation of the extension has not
been definitely decided. Several plans
are under consideration, however. Sew
eral undeveloped water privileges are
available at East Kiilingly and in
other parts of the town. There Is also
the alternative Of obtaining power
from the new plant of the Cochrane
Power company, now in course of con-
struction on the Quinebaug river, a
mile west of Attawaugan crossing
The parties interested in the enter
prise feel assured that If they can get
their charter they can get the capital
to build the road and this latter with
out any great difficulty. From the
standpoint of passenger service the
proposed road would be a great boon to
the residents of the villages through
which it is intended to build it. They
are now without trolley service of any
nature.
Warning to Auto Speeders.
Board signs warning automobile
drivers against speeding and reckless
driving have been placed on all high
ways entering Danielson. This is in
accord with a recent decision of the
offieials to endeavor to get the autoists
to drive at a reasonable speed in the
borough. The signs. 1t is hoped will
have good effect, though the LETTERING
on them is of such a style that it has
been criticized as hard to read when
travelling This fact may get the in
terested drivers to slow down in order
to read the warning, and then stay on
slow speed after they read.
