STONINGTON
New Spur Track and Double Track System for Trolley LiHe-Meeting of Travel Club.

Among improvements contemplated for the Groton and Stonington Rail way company is a spur track at the waiting room at Cutler and Elm streets. The company owns the lot between the waiting room and Elm street and it's plan is to have short track run in here for the accommo- dation of the express cars. with view to getting rid of interference with the passenger schedule while the freight for Stonington is being loaded or dis charged
 Another improvement contemplated Is that before next fall the double track system will be used between switches. This also is to be done with the intention of maintaining a reliable running schedule. One car, instead of waiting for another to proceed over the extra tracks and thus save much time. At Stonington many changes will undoubtedly be made in the freight and waiting stations.
