 Newtown, May 5-The wires Fbeing E strung by the Danbury Electric Com pany for conducting the electric fluid to Newtown are capable of carrying as high voltage, 1t is averred by E the superintendent in charge of the | work as the wires supplying the trol-] ley line in Danbury and Bethel. Thissd gives rise to the belief in the minds of all residents along the line that the trolley will follow the installation of E the lighting system in Newtown, and | that the company is only awaiting the | completion by the state of the road-l bed on this part of the Danbury and | Waterbury trunk line before the tracks are laid even over the sacred main street of our borough, and not through the back lots some denizens of | NTillionaire's Row would have tht trolley go if it should come Some of the town officials who. ought to getI a first line on this move, would not I affirm nor deny today the report that I the line of the eDanbury and Bridge-s port trolley will go down the pike toj Stepney, and not over by way of Eas- ton and HattertoWn as originally sur veyed by the trolley company. That this would please all but a few con 1 lsservatives who think Newtown is only | for sleeping purposes, cannot be de- sired That this route through the 1 center would make this line a paying institution is equally certain, and the| advaritage sto Newtown and Sandy Hook would be very great All bust ness people approached today favor the idea. To use this high electric voltage for lighting and domestic pur- poses in Newto own the company will install reducing plant near the borough line on Mount Pleasant Veteran Ezra Yotulg's Home. Ezra Young and wife bought the Henry Slater double tenement prop
 erty near the railroad station, Satur- l day. and are now permanently, dor11i- ciIed, after being compelled to move thrice in the last three months. He says his next move will be to the I graveyard.
