Special Meeting of Common Conac1
Tolley Loop aad Grove Street Inprev.
 meat

A special meeting of the eommoa council was held Monday night 70 dis- cuss communication relative b ehe proposed trolley loop received from R. W. Perkins, president of the Bhoss Line Electric Railway. Also to dls- cuss the improvement of Grove street.
 Mir. Perkins letter first spolcgised for the delay in making s report and then stated that MT. Punderfoot, gen. eral manager of the Connecticut com pany to whom the matttr had to b. referred, wrote that the company's en. gineers had estimated that 10 would cost the city Of Putnam $76,0O0 10 prs the bridges necessary for use II the loop Is built in condition.
 He also called attention to the fnck that at the time of the meeting,it was understood that the company should be put to no expense for bridges. IL also alluded to the present high cost of material and labor making the pres eut an unfavorable time to build.
 Alderman Davis and Representative E. E. Kent, mem bers of the council ab the time the trolley road was built, both said they remembe red the agree. ment made by the company to build the loop but stated that there was nothing said about the city fixing bridges.
 Alderman Padgett said he considered the letter a s'stalIu and 1t was about what he expected. He said he realized the justice of the last part of the com municatien relative to being an ex- pensive time to begin building opera tions.
 He said the company agreed to make a survey and give the city an estimate of what 1t would cost to build the loop and instead of doing this they now come with figures claiming 1t would cost the city 75,000.
 Alderman Padgett made . motion that the special committee draft letter to MT. Perkins and in that letter make 1t plain that the council does not agree witha the statement made that the city ever agreed with the compsny to maintain .or construct necessary bridges; also that MT. Per kins be requested to furnish the c0un. ell at once with the approximate cost of constructing the belt line in accord ance with his promise 10 tho special committee.
 The motion carried and such . letter was drafted.
 Representative A. A. Brodeur sat1 he met Mir. Pundcrfoot . few days after the fcommittec met Mir. Perkins ia Putnam and that MT, PundeFfoos ad mitted that it had been agreed ts build . loop In Putnam but said hs didn't see how the company could ds 1t at the present tme.
 In the matter of the repair of Grove street It was stated that the state high. way department had taken sthe stand that they would make no more hieh- way Improvements within city limi>s but on account of previous meetinss and discussions 1t was thought that they would spend e6,0OO on Grove street If that street h turned over e the town and the town votes an ap. proprialion sof $2,0OO, making eS,OOe to be expended In all.
 Mayor McGarry and John c. John- son were appointed . committse q the council to act with one of the =. lectmen and go to. Hartford and hsve an interview with the commissloDer relative to the matter.
