The controversy between summer
residents of Watch Hill and the man
agement of the PaWcatuck Valley
street railway has finally narrowed
down to the users of automobiles and
those who of necessity still ride in
trolley cars. and the latter are in the
vast Majority. The Watch Hill peo-
pie or some of them, have declared
that the rebuilding and refurnishing of
the trolley road must stop Immediately
and not be resumed until the close of
the season, as the visitors do not pro-
pose to be in the least Inconvenience
during their summer stay at Watch
Hill They are not over favorable Of
having a trolley route to that growing
and fashionable resort.
The constructing contractor does not
open up a stretch of work over
thousand feet in length and at the
point where the men are now at work
the road is narrow, and therefore only
room enough for q single line of auto
mobiles at a time, so at times there
is liable to be slight delay at either
end of the stretch, and that is about
the extent of the Inconvenience to au-
tomobilists and teamsters, who are
registering the protest.
The trolley patrons have to walk this
distance in the dusty road. but the
great majority of these have patience,
realizing that a much needed improved
trolley service cannot be attained
without temporary Inconvenience.
The trolley management is carrying
IN this work IS best they can and with
the least possible interference with
public traffic, which means an in
crease in the COST of construction. 1t
has been suggested that the road be
closed in the sections where the work
is progressing and thus make it pos
sfble for a spec dier completion, as was
done when the Watch Hill road was
rebuilt and to which there came no
objection from the summer residents.
a fine speedway was being constructed
for automobiles
There is an excellent road leading
from Watch Hill, along East avenue,
