 On the occasion of his visit here sev- eral weeks ago General Manager Pun derford said he had gathered the im- pression that desire for the proposed Washington street extension was unanimous. At meeting of the Board of Trade there was no remonstrance to the project. However. in view of the heavy remonstrance at this time, MT. Punderford stated that he would re- port to the company that his previous view was erroneous. Considering these objections and the fact that there is already adequate service to the Falls, ba cof1 ha hAliAUAH that tba aYf AnatnN was not desired.
 General Manager Punderford, Super intendent Anderson. Mayor T. c. Mur- phy. Corporation Counsel Joseph T. Tanning, Chairman M H. Hourigan of the public works committee and City Engineer George B. Pitcher met in the mayors office shortly after 3 o'clock for a general discussion of the pro posed trolley extensions
 Regarding the Maplewood line, 1t was stated that with the extension of the service it would be difficult to maintain convenient schedule. Engi- neer Pitcher and MT. Punderford pro- pose later to go over the line and con- slider the matter at further length.
 As there Is an appropriation of $10,- 900 tor about one fifth of a mile of paving on Washington street, the city officials desired to know whether oI not the Washington street xtension was to be made. The general mana ger stated that he would not recom- mend a line there. He had come here however, with the intention of present ing a petition before the council next Monday evening to make the Wash ington street extension.
 Owing to the fact that Boswell ave nue has not been curbed, graded ol kept in goon condition, MT. Punderforc stated that 1t would be quite a big proposition to lay line through this avenue. Should the line be construct ed from Franklin street, it will prob ably extend only as far as Pratt street near Seventh street.
 Mayor Murphy, Manager Pnderford Chairman Hourigan and Engineer Pitcher took trip up Boswell avenue l by automobile and as a result Genera Manager Pnderford stated that h, would have the avenue surveyed b. l the company's engineers as soon a! possible and indicated that it would b, 1 his idea to have the line carried as ia as Pratt street This is in the vIcinit!
 of the Greeneville entrance to Mohe | gan park and this approach is th'
 nearest of any entrance to the lake, s' l that trolley line to this point woul,
 prove convenient as a means of acces
 to the park.
