BROOKLYN TROLLEY LINE.
Projected as Far Back as 1873 Founder of Richmond Stove Works One of the Corporators.

Looking back to 1873 from these days when there is periodically recur- ring talk of building a trolley line to Brooklyn-and nothing more than talk -one finds that charter was granted on July 23. 1873, by the general as sembly of Connecticut for the con- struction of the Brooklyn and Kii- lingly railroad. This was to have been looked forward to as the means of giving such a transportation line as would develop the town far beyond the degree that would ever be possible without it. The original corporators were Apollos Richmond, founder of the Richmond stove works in Norwich. Henry Cleveland, Elisha Dyer, John Gallup End, Enos L. Preston, Thomas s. Marlor Harrison W. Richmond. Ed ward L, Cundall, Edwin Harris. Will William Ieavens, .Abner Young. Amos D. Lockwood. Edwin Ely, Sabin s. Sayles. Simon $. Waldo, Luther D. Alexander, Joseph D. Bates, Henry
 Hammond, Daniel c. Robinson, Gideon Burnett, Lewis searles. James B.
 Day. William H. Putnam, Perrin $.
 Scarborough, Henry D. Bassett,
 Charles c. Williams.
 The proposition was, as set forth in the charter. to build a line from a
 point near the county buildings in
 Brooklyn to some convenient point
 within the borough of Danielsonv1Ile'
 that a connection might be made with the Norwich and Worcester railroad
 An interesting section of the charter is the sixth, in which the towns of Killingly and Brooklyn are authorized to subscribe for and take any num-
 Der of shares of the new road not
 exceeding in amount at the par value of said shares five per cent or the amount of the grand list last made
 by the town subscribing, or issue their
 bonds to an amount not exceeding
 per cent. of the grand list; provided
 that the towns should first at a towr
 meeting specially warned for that pur-
 pose. vote by a two-thirds vote of all present to subscribe for such shares

WILLMANTIc
PORTION OF HIGH SCHOOL
May Be Occupied Before Completion of New BuiIdins-conmittee Com fers With Receiver.

The building committee of the town having in charge the construction ot the new high school, held meeting Friday afternoon in the office of Cor poration Counsel T. J. Kelley, at which both John A. Moran of Norwich. receiver of the Fenton Building cont pany, and Wilson Potter of New York, architect of the building. were pres- ent.
 The secretary of the committee. M. Eugene Lincoln, stated that nothing definite was decided upon at the meet ing, but that another conference with the receiver would be held Tuesday. Sept 9th, at which 1t would probably be definitely settled whether or not the town would occupy the building at an early date or wait until it completion.
 The receivership has created rather complex situation which it is hoped may be clarified by Tuesday
 In any event. it seems impossible for the school to open by the 14th of the month, as planned, unless a part of the building might be occupied while the balance is being completed. It is un- derstood some such scheme is contem- plated.
