 The residents of Greenfield can now expect a vast increase in their population. How this great conces- sion was brought about is a, mystery, but we should undoubtedly be thank full for small favors, aven when wish ed upon us.
 Here are the benefits to be derived from this great concession made by the Come ecticut Trolley Co--Pubic Utilities Commission of the state of Connecticut:
 Occasional residents may leave some morning from the top of Greenfield Hill, by jitney bus, some morning, and arrive at Ash Creek some time same day, get off and wait for trolley car arrive in center of city some time and go wh2re you want
 Leave city some place, arrive at Ash Creek some time; hang around, view the mud flats and absorb the sweet smelling odors from the Ash Creek mud flats until "our' jitney arrives; jump aboard and arrive at any time somewhere on Greenfield HILL
 Now, what do you say to that? Is not that some privilege, MT. and Mrs. Greenhelder? We are living in a great state Surely, we have lot to be thankful for. Sincerely,
