 Senator Barnes said the present was his fourth trip to the state capitol and that he never did wrong or took any part in pulling off a crooked deal. and he assured the committee he could see no reason why the extension should not be granted, and that there was no bluff in the proposition. The com pany had for years tried to get some responsible concern to build the road, and now that main object had been achieved.
 In response to a query, from MT. Hyde, Dr. Stark said that 118 of tho 200 stockholders had made payment on the stock.
 William T. Curry of Lebanon said he had no stock in the company and that when solicited he said he would not subscribe, but would cheerfully con tribute $200 when the road is com pleted. He favored an extension of time. He wanted the road and favored extension of time to those who had expended a large sum of money and are ready to go on rather than to grant charter to new company.
 MT Hyde reiterated the statement that the present was a one-man road, Dr. Stark road, and that the people wanted road over this proposed route and want 1t now. That was the reason for petition for a new charter that means active business and not contln- uous delay. He said 15 stockholders of the present company, representing about one third of the stock, had sign ed petition against extension of time and in favor of the new company.

NoRWIcH-HARTFoRp ROUTE.
Hearing on Petition for Extension of
 Time of Charter.

There was a spirited hearing before the committee on railroads Thursday afternoon on the petition for the exten- sion of time of the charter of the Nor wich, Colchester and HartfNrd Trac- ton company, and the petition for. a new charter, by different set of pe- titioners, who desired to build the road over the present proposed route.
 Senator Barnes stated that two years years ago, when the time was ex- tended, there was prospect of getting some concern to build the road, but had failed by reason of changed Icondf- tions on account of the war. Now the present company has succeeded in get ting the John A. Carter Construction company of New York to build this construction. This company was ready to file bond of $10O,oeO that the work would be commenced within 30 days and carried to a finish.
 Dr. Stark stated that two years ago a contract had been almost reached the war came, and the, business was called off. Now this new contract has been made with a construction concern having strong financial backing. It Is planned to have the work completed within IS months and the road will traverse a section not now covered by any trolley road. The public wants this road and there should be public enthusiasm at the prospect of its con SNuSelDAs pToVIO6u the extension Of time is granted. Five miles of the route has been graded at a cost of about $50,000, which included the sur Veys. construction and land damages.
 William s. Hyde of Manchester, who was opposed to the extension and in favor of a new corporation under diff Ierent management questioned Dr. Stark's ownership of the majority of stock, thereby making it a one-man corporation. The doctor said he owned majority of the stock, but never voted tt. and did not consider that he was in absolute control of the corpora tion.
 John A. Carter of the John A. Carter construction company of New York told the committee that his company had this proposition under considera- ton for the past three years. and was now ready to file a bond of s10O,OoO to begin the work within 30 days after the bill is signed by the governor. He said the company now had $2O0, 900 in hand to complete at least 12 miles of me road. The cost would be about $18,500 a mile. Three years ago the engineers computed the cost at 5000, but there had been great increase in

Local Charitable Organization Wants
 Amendment to Its Charter.

Representatives Albert J. Bailey of Norwich and Bradford of Montville were before the committee on humane institutions Thursday afternoon in the interest of the bill amending the char ter of the United Workers of Norwich.
