 quest Of Connecticut O..

 William J. Farley, P. s. McMahon, w. l.. Hatch and Attorney George Le Witt represented their properties to be in danger of reduction in value II the tracks is placed, McMahon and Hatch served notice that they would demand damages in such event, Far ley complained that the street is blocked most of the time now by the company's tracks, and he drew from Supt. F. L. Beardsley that the track could be laid on the companys prop erty. The objection Is greater eN- penditure, the trolley man admitted. Lawyer Levitt asserted that the city has practically donated the street to the company which, he said, was un- worthy of donation.
 The school board was represented as opposed on the ground of danger to school children. John Pinches and the Congregation of Sons of Israel were also against the installation of a spur track. The board went on record as opposed to the granting of the Connecticut company's petition.
 Since the adoption of present lay outs would necessitate the payment of heavy damages, the board voted new layout for Broad street
