 much building in order to develop the city and bring the several sections to- gether in order to bring about con-
 solidation. It would be possible to run cars to the park, making 1t available to people in all sections
 He suggested a shortened route For
 the Hartford line, which would save five minutes. This would be to build the line by trestie, bridge and filIing in direct from Washington square across the cove to a point near the almshouse. When the filled in cove is in the list for twenty millions, as it will be some day when such a road will be main avenue leading out from the city. He considered that the section of
 the town at East Great Plain, where there is much available land for build ing and manufacturing purposes. is due for great development Edward T. Burke considered the project. There has been big develop ment there in the past ten years. In bad weather 1t is particularly unfor-
 tunate for those living in that sec

He also favored the line in Wash ington street, where public convent ence should come before beauty Nor wich should be three times as large as 1t is ard there is no reason why 1t cannot be much larger if all will pull together.
 MapfeWood Ceretery. J. D. Haviland called the boards at tention to the fact that there has been spent S35,000 at Mapfewood cemetery and it is a beautiful spot There have been over 300 burials there and this means much interest in that section, but people are hindered by the walk from the end of the electric road. It Is possible to make the schedule time to the cemetery terminal. he thought, as to the point where the cars now stop He referred to an attempt he had made to get line in Washing ton street. He didn't think those on the two ends who are served by the present lines would object to the serv- ing of the others in the street. There would be SO houses accommodated by a line there. Business fellows the iron rail wherever you go. Why is Mc- Kinley avenue filled with houses. when Washington street has so many COW pastures? A gentleman building a
 house on Washington street said to- day he would not be building there if
 he was not sure that there would be some electric facilities there soon. MT. Murphy stated that the Con- necticut company has forfeited all the rights it at one time had in the city to extend its lines.
 $. A. Gilbert thought freight loop from Franklin square down to the for the benefit of the industries in the heart of the city. in Chestnut street. and Franklin street, the loop ! going through Chestnut street. Doctor Guiliver considered that there should be a trolley station which will be a station through which all cars would go and where the transferring would be done
 Trolley Express Congestion. President Tracy reported that the the trolley express matter in Frank lin square. and it is believed that the line will be extended to the freight house, where the loading and Chief Stanton reported that six fire alarm boxes have been added to Boswell avenue and side streets in six or seven years, showing considerable growth whereabouts.

 that there was some movement on foot that instead of the present a1leyway there. a new street will be built and he called upon the chairman of the pub l lie Improvements committee to in<orm the meeting as to the situation. Chairman Hall stated that there is l considerable talk concerning the talk | ing of Dur1xce lane and land near the Ring property in Chestnut street and making a street there connecting Franklin street and Chestnut street at that point. It Is now necessary to go over private property to use the way 1 the propertv being mostly in the hands NJ. B. Ring owns and the property
