ATTAWAuGAN TROLLEY
 EXTENSION
Woaid Be Appreciated by Residents and Manufacturers in Two Villages.

Action taken in the legislature in favor of extending the time for the construction of the Attawaugan street railway reneWs the hope that this
 much desired short line may be built, though there have been number of disappointments along this route of hope. At one time rails were distrib- uted from Attawaugan crossing, where 1t was proposed at that time to join with the Danielson and Putnam line into Attawaugan village, but change of plans resulted in the removal of the rails after many months. Residents in Baliouville and Attawaugan would greatly appreciate the service that the proposed line would give, as would the manufacturing concerns in the villages which are now without rail service of any kind. It is about nlile@xalk from Attawaugan to the car line and about two miles walk from Balfouville.

Mayor Macdonald Opposed to sue- gested Expenses, but People Must Decide.

The concise, pithy message which Mayor Macdonald read to the common council last Monday, urging the mem
 bers of the council to exercise rigid economy, but not to such an extent
 as dispensing with any essential Of
 any city department, is in keeping with many expressions heard from the
 taxpayers that the city should not in
 crease it's burdensome debt unless ab- seiutely necessary for the welfare of the municipality. In regarding un- favorably the providing of more street lights, all night service, and increasing the police department of the city the council is actiUg along the suggested lines, but in deference to the peti- tiorers, who have asked for these things, the council decided to let the matter come before the a.nnuaE--city meeting March Ist and give the tax payers an opportunity to express their views on the matter and see if they
 changes would nccessitate.
 The matter of improving Main street from Union street through Union square is an imperative and glaring necessity as was fully demonstrated the past week when several inches of mud covered this nlost-traveled thorr oughfare of any in the city. The ami cite roadway now extenCS from May street to Union street and the recon mendation covers but a short addition I
 pensa The material used was laid some two years ago and it's wearing qualities have come up to expectations | The council, as the mayor points out, 1 is receiving a steady stream of peti- 1 tons for improvements here and there, 1 and while entailing no great amount l of expense in individual cases, the az | gregate amounts to a considerable sum 1 or would if the council needed all re- 1 quests.
