Trolley service between North Gros-
venordale and Webster will be restored
within a few days. probably by Tues
day or Wednesday of next week. This
statement was made to. The Bulletin Fri
day afternoon from what is usually ex-
cellent authority.
1t Is known that Supt. O'Donnell of
the Worcester Consolidated road was in
North Grosyencrdale Friday and there
discussed in some detail the plans for re-
Stunning service over miles of tyolhy
road that have been practically aban-
doned for very nearly two years. Hexis
quoted as having stated that cars will
be running again by Tuesday or We'd
nesday of next week. The schedule Of
service likely will be announced today
or Monday.
For months past the Webster and Dud-
ley Chamber of Commerce has been la
boring assiduously to bring about the
end now about to be achieved. Confer.
ences have been held between represen-
tatives of the chamber and President
Storrs of the Connecticut company with
General Manager Samuel Anderson of
Norwich and other eastern Connecticut
ofhclals of the trolley company as well
as with officials of the Worcester Con-
solldated company whose cars, it is be-
heved, will run from Webster to North
Grosvenordale, the northern terminal of
the lines of the Putnam division as op-
Grated for nearly two years.
Much repair work needs be done on
the line between North Grosvenordale
and Webster, Tor no attention has been
given it since operation of cars was sus-
pended. However. it is possible to op-
crate acrs over the route. Such atten-
ton as the roadbed, tracks and over
head requires can be accomplished after
the service is restored.
Webster merchants have been partic-
uiarly anxious for the restoration of
trolley service with the Grosvenordales
because of the prospect of getting trade
from those villages, where the Grosven-
ordale company employs hundreds of
operatives in its mills.
Mayor Archibald Macdonald an
nounced Friday morning that he has
appointde E. c. Rogers, Frank Whitman
and former Representative A. A. Bro
deur as Putnam's commission on box
ing and wrestling.
