 ton at Church.
 The Plainville Business and Im- provement association will hold a special meeting tomorrow evening at the club rooms at o'clock. Super intendent Beardsley of the Connecti- cut company has been asked to at tend the meeting and confer with the members of the board of directors in the matter of laying double tracks from TrunbulIs factory to Sharp's station near Westwood park.
 The matter has been the subject of considerable agitation for the past few years. It was planned to take it up with the trolley company three years ago but the outbreak of the war spoiled the plans and the short $ materials made it impossible to under take the work during the war.
 During the past two months the Business Mems association has had considerable correspondence with the officials of the Connecticut company in this matter and the meeting to- morrow evening will show the results of the latest agitation. The mem bers are. expected to attend in force as they have all been interested in the question for some time.
 The prime movers in the attempt to have the company make this inn provement are the local manufacturers. They complain that the operatives from New Britain and points on the line are late nearly every day and that the source of the trouble is the delays encountered by riding on the troueys. The lack of g double track between Sharp's and Trumbull's sta- tons has been considered the sore spot for some time and the manu- lecturers demand that the trouble be remedied. The manufacturers are receiving the heartiest support of all local patrons of the company's lines.
 Superintendent Beardsley, when asked this morning about the pro- pOSeu uOuDle track, said,
 ''I have bee masked to attend the meeting but I do not believe the company has money enough to carry out the proposed improvement of the Plainville-NeW Britain line"
 The double tracking of the line would, no doubt, be a difficult matter and would put the company to con- :sidera ble expense. There are several stumbling blocks in the way of early completion of such an improvement, principally the fact that several places along the line would have to be filled in with sand and gravel and another being the trestle at Johnson's station, where, it is said, it is almost too nar- row to allow the installation of an- other track.
 The laying of the tracks is not inn possible, however. and the local pa- irons feel that after several years Of waiting some recompense is due to them for the inconveniences caused by delays at the two stations men, toned. It has been known to afford considerable amuseme ent to strangers in this locality when waiting at Sharp'S station for cars to arrive from Plainville ito hear regular patrons registering the usual kicks about the service. This condition has existed for a. long time--too long, in the opin- ion of commuters-and the Business Mems associa tion will receive the heartiest backing at the meeting to- morrow night.
