tic The trolley centers in each divi-
sion are well connected and the CEN
trail and western divisions so con-
veniently connected that they form a
network of electric service over the
state west of the Connecticut river;
but the eastern division which is that
section east of the Connecticut river.
comprising an area more than one
third of the entire state, is isolated
from the other centers, it having no
connection with either the central or
western divisions. These two divisions
serve a population of 100000 while
the eastern division serves a popula-
ton of 10000 people.
1t is the purpose of the Norwich,
Colchester and Hartford road to con-
meet the eastern with the central and
western divisions by a trunk line forty
miles in length, and thus allow an in
terchange of travel for the 100000
people who live in these various divi-
sions. 1t is evident that this travel
will be enoromus The line is laid
through the center of the new terri
tory to be opened between the termi-
nal cities.
Besides the $4,000 people therein
who are asking for the open door, it
shows very large freight business
awaiting the quick and easy service
which this road will afford, as all pres
ent service is by horse power, at an
expense to the shippers of over $780,,
900 a year; and there are a large
number of undeveloped water powers
along the Yantic, Salmon and Black
ledge rivers which this road parallels
to a, great extent, which are to be de-
veloped and utilized as soon as trans
portation facilities are provided 1t
is evident that this road must be built
to handle an enormous amount of
freight.
The reports of the commission on
interstate commerce show that inter
urban electric roads which have
population on the line and at the ter
minals of 1000 people to the mile is
a paying proposition without freight.
This road shows population of over
1000 people to the mile and a con-
tributory population within reason
able distance of the line and termi-
nails of more than 10000 people to the
mile.
The road will afford to the pleasure
seekers of Hartford and the whole
central division. the shortest and most
convenient means to reach the shore
of the Atlantic ocean, and the various
shore resorts which will insure it
very large summer travel. In the town
of Marlborough the line runs along
the shore of Lake Tarramuggus, one
of Connecticuts beautiful lakes sew
eteen miles from Hartford A Hart
ford gentleman proposes to make Lake
Tarramuggus an attraction for pleas
ure speakers
In addition to this service lines
from the eastern division extend into
the southern portion of Massachusetts
and to the various trolley centers of
Rhode Island, which means a large
additional patronage connecting with
our central and western divisions.
The road is now under construction
at the Hartford end. AS soon as ten
miles are completed it is to be
equipped and put into operation, when
the construction of the second ten
mile section will be completed and
operated, and so on. pushing it rapid
ly to get the entire line in operation
at an early date.

START ON THE new TROLLEY ROAD
Dr. c. E. Stark and A. l. Potter Attend the Formal Cere-
Cnony at East Hartford-First Shovelful Of Dirt
Taken by w. S. Garde of Hartford

The historic town of East Hartford
was the scene of new activity Tues
day when several of the directors and
stockholders of the Norwich. COL
chester and Hartford Traction COM
pany went to the village of Hillstown
in an extreme remote section of the
town, where Walter S. Garde took the
first shovel of dirt which will mark
later the opening of the new road con-
Meeting Hartford with Norwich
A party from Hartford consisting of
Mayor Smith, Gen. Henry c. Dwight,
president of the Hartford board of
trade; w. w. Willes, vice president
of the Hartford Business Mems asso-
citation; Dr. c. E. Stark and A. L..
Potter, directors; Walter S. Garde. a
stockholder, and Gen. Alexander
HARRISON. went to the scene in auto
mobiles and took part in the opening
there by the engineers and contractors
and several others that are interested
in the new road There were from
so to 70 in attendance.
At a point near the Manchester
town line DR.. Stark gave brief his
tory of the contemplated road, saying
that the charter was granted by the
legislature in 1907. He then intro
duced Mayor Smith, who spoke for the
city of Hartford The mayor wished
the directors and stockholders success
in their enterprise, and added that IT
would be a great benefit to the two
cities, Norwich and Hartford, when
the line was in operation.
General Dwight who was intro
duced by DR.. Stark, also congratulate
ed the stockholders and the directors
of the company in the enterprise.
Following the remarks of the visit
ors all repaired to a small building,
where light refreshments were served.
Here the directors and the stockhold-
ers met the contractors, the Ahern
Bros, and others that are to help in
the building of the road.
A total of twenty-five men are en-
gagged in building the road. 1t is said
that a section might be in operation
in less than a year 1t is estimated
that the entire work will take about
year and a half. A little over forty
miles of track is to be laid and the
running time as is now figured will be
one hour and twenty minutes. The fare
probably will be sixty cents.
When the line is completed it will
connect eastern Connecticut with CEN
trail Connecticut, and will cater to an
estimated plumber way up in the
thousands
The workingmen are to live in
shacks which will be erected from
time to time. The work starts on
land owned by Herman Burke. All
the desired rights of way have been
secured Sections of the track are to
be laid on private ground. At the
Hartford end the line will be in con-
nection with the Hartford lines at the
corner of Silver street, in East Hart
ford.
Tuesday marked an epoch in the
trans portation service in Connecticut,
says the Hartford Times.

following communication to tl1es com
mittee from Charles ID. NoyeB; who
for several years has been. chairman,
was read:
Gentlemen: 1 take this opportunity
to thank you for the confidence which
you have shown and t>S loyal support
you have given me during the two
terms of two years each, during which
l have acted as your chairman.
You will recall that this responsible
position came to me in both instances
absolutely unsought, and that yield
ed against my inclination to your
unanimous and insistent judgment in
accepting these responsibilities. You
have nobly seconded my efforts to
conduct politics in a clean, honorable
manner. that the best available men
might be selected for public office and
the best interests of the party thereby
subserved. We have been reasona bly,
successful in our endeavors having
supported eleven different tickets in
national. state, city and town matters,
and losing only three elections during
this period.
The time has arrived when / feel
constrained to say that can no long
er act as your chairman. and that you
must choose him elsewhere. In my
party work I have sacrificed personal
interests which demand my time more
fully, and L cannot consent to act as
your chairman again. You can at any
time call on me, should the occasion
arise when my assistance should be
desired on any matters pertaining to
the interests of The republican party.
Thanking you once more for the
many kindnesses and the loyal assist
ance which you have rendered to me
during the four years We have been
associated together, l am
Very sincerely yours,
