The Senate RaiR—oad Commit-
tee will not Exempt
Petitions,
A Victory for the Consolidated. '
The hearingbsicre tie Senate com-
mittee on railroads,on the repeal of the
parallel law was continued yesterday
afternoon. The committee decided to
strike out the sections in the electric
road charters, excepting them from the
parallel act of 1893, and known as
section 8, but it was announced tha‘t
the hearings would be continued fur-
ther, if any one desired to be heard on
the repeal of the act. M
Attorney E. B. Gager of the New
Haven & Derby Electric road, spoke
for the repeal of the‘ law. He said that
two tribunals were necessary in the
matter, naming the railroad committee
and the superior court.
Attorney E. D. Robbins of Hartford
replied to Mr. Gager that there was no
need of tribunals, as the superior court
was sufficient to dispose of the question.
It was stated that if this section was
omitted, the New. Haven road would
withdraw its opposition to the New
Britain parallel, the Bridgeport Tram-
way company extension and the Shel-
tonf electric railway. .'
The committee ruling that no more
charters would‘be granted to electric
road corporations with parallel clause
was the cause for the action of the Con-
solidated road withdrawing its opposi-
tion, to several of the proposed electric
roads. Attorney George E. Terry, who
appeared for the New Britain electric
extension to Hartford, said, that he
Would try the case in the superior court,
and if defeated in that tribunal he
would bring the matter back again-be-
fore the committee and ask for new
legislation. ‘
