 Although at the recent town meeting held in Rockville it was voted by large majority not to favor the discon- tinuance of the Interurban electric line from Rockville to East Hartford, an other petition to have the lntefur- ban taken off and have the surface line improved is being circulated in Rockville. It is said that the oaL.e petition will be circulated ir this bOr- ough. While the plan suggested would give through. trolley service from here to Hartford, doing away with the change at East Hartford, and on the whole would serve this section better, it would be we'll to insist that the company guarantee that the line from here to Rockville will not be discOn- tinued in some future time before signing, as later the company might claim that this end of the line does not pay and try to have the same discon- tinued This does not seem as likely to happen, but it would be well to insist on a guarantee before signing
