A HEARING ON Till} HORSE RAIL-
Iawy Objections Ballet! to Laying Double
Tracks Through North Main Blush
Resolution-Adopted listening theories-
tlan to the Board of Councilmen. 7
The hearing held in the Council
chamber. last night, on the petition

WI. asking the Common Council as
. approve the plans for double tracking
the road and using electricityas a motive
power, denoted that the Board of Colin
cilmen and taxpayers of South Norwalk
were fully alive to the situation, and
were determined to get all the informa»
tion possible before allowing their rights
and North Main street to pass into the
hands of the Railway company,——if, in-
deed, they have the power to give them
permission to double track the road be-
low the point designated in the amend-
ment to the company’s charter. a fact
which was not brought out at 5 the hear.
ing.’
The hearing was held in connection
with an adjourned meeting of the Board
of Councilmen. Mayor Lee presided and
all the members were present. City
Clerk Wilcox read the petition of the
company and the notice of the meeting.
after which Attorney Winthrop H. Perry
presented a blue print drawing, showing
_ how therails wereto beheaded to pre-
vent the escape of the electrical current.
Then, on motion of Councilman Scully.
a live mlnuterecese was taken, during
which the layout of the proposed double
tracks was examined.
After the meeting had again been call.
ed to order, Judge John H. Perry, a
brother of Attorney Perry, and who has
represented the Norwalk Horse Railroad
company and also the Norwaik Tramway
company. said he had been requested by
the president of the former company to
make a brief statement. The railroad
company and the City of South Norwulk
were, he said, alike creatures of the legis-
lature; each had a charter and their in-
terests were alike, but there was no cou-
ceirable reason why they should conflict.
The railroad company bada charterlo
build a road and equipit with electricity,
but the city had the right to tellthem
where the tracks should be located. The
company was desirous of doing the work
in the best manner possible.
Councilman Scully then presented the
following resolution, which the council—
men adopted unanimously:
Resoltwl. That Hill ilonor. Mayor Mor-
timer M. Ilse, Councilmen J. A. Slater.
Charles E. Seymour, Jacob Schaub, W.
B. Hoyt. John Scully and Lewis H.
Nash, City Attorney Light and A. E.
Winchester, be and they hereby are ap-
pointed a committee to confer with the
agents or representatives of the Norwalk
Horse Railroad company in reference to
the application of said railway company
for a layout for their proposed tracks in
this city, the construction, electrical
equipment, etc, of the some, such com
mittee to report to a future regular meet-
ing of the Council or at a special meetinlr
called for the purpose of hearing such
report or recommendations, what action.
in their judgment, this Council should
take on the application of the Norwalk
Horse Railway company for a layout,
etc.. as would best conserve the interests
of the city and its citizens; and
Resolved, That A. [:1 Winchester he
allowed a fair compensation for any
professional service he may render the
city while serving as a member of this
committee.
hfr. Winchester said be bid never ask‘
all for any compensation for the services
he had rendered the city, and would not
accept any in this instance.
Attorney Gregory, representing the
Matthews property on West avenue, said
his clients objected to the placing of
poles in front of their estate or the mov-
ing of the present track east.
J. Donovan, Jr., stated that under the
present charter the Council bad‘po right
reconsider the matter of laying two
tracks on North Main street, He thought
that, in view of the passing of the fore-
going resolution, it would be well to
postpone discussion until after the loves-
tigatlon by the oouncilmen.
Postmaster Edwin Adams did not see
as there was anything for the Council to
investigate, as nothing had come up in
the meeting. '
Attorney Light and Councilman Stub
ly thought. however. that now was the
time for those present to lalkubat the
Council would be pleased to hear the
views of the citizens present. After a
considerable pause E. A. Woodward an-
nounced that he was very much in favor
of the double tracking.
John W. Powell said he did not know
yet whether there were to be one or two
tracks on North liaia street. He failed
to get any Information on that point,
City Attorney Light merely stating that
he was not prepared to answer the ques-
tiou at present, but the matter would
come up at a future meeting.
becomes-m Mcflahou stand the
psoplelo talk and give the committee
something to investigate. He thought
it would be unconstitutional for the city
to give the railway company the right
to euibud their tracks through North
lfaln street.
Ilr. Adams wanted to know when the
eommlltsswere to report, and to whom
they were lo‘report tumblers another

This was the legally constituted hear-
ing and everyone should express their
views.
James L Russell stated that after the
passage of Councilman boully's rum
lotion a number of persons lefttbe room,
under the impremlon that they would
be heard at some future time.
Councilman Nash said there was no
desire to shut anyoné out. and
after several invitations to opt
the discussion had—mat wishes mains.
councilman Seymour mid that what
the Council wanted to know was wheth-
er the people wanted t7wo trachornot.
This brought a response from E. J'
Wadhams that lit. Donovan hadsald the
company could‘not have two tracks if
they did want them. Mr. Wadbams
said the street was altogether loo nan-ow
for any more tracks. flanked Engineer
Hill if there was room for a tend?“ to
stand in front of one of the stores and
unload goods. He wanted to know, also,
if the company” could not go around
through other streets. 7
. The engineer replied that there would
be room fora team to unload if it did
not take up more than ten feet.’l‘he com-
pany, he said, had no charter to go
through other streets.
Mr. Adams said Engineer Hill had
told him it would be impossible for a
team to go on one side of the street with
a car running at the same time.
Engineer Hill thought Mr. Adams was
mistakentthere would be six and one-
half feet between a passing car and the
sidewalk, and he contended it would be
safer with two tracks than with one, for
the reason that the people would observe
the right of the road, whereas, with one
track. they went inbotb directions on
each side. He thought it would be bet-
ter to have two tracks. because there
wouldhelees danger of people meetng
each other.
Mr. Adams could not be convinced,
however, that two tracks would be
safer. He showed the danger which
would result should strain happen to
pass and frighten horses. There was no
place in the city, he said. where team
clustered so often as at this corner. No
arrangement should bemade to stop a
free entrance to and exit from the city.
Engineer Hill had said it would be
safer with two tracks, and Mr. Adams
thought it would be, for the reason that
no one would ever attempt to pass. and
all trafilc on the street.,outside of the
trolley, would be stopped. Engineer
Hill’s theory was good, but people could
not drive a team through six and one-
half feet of street. Mr. Adams thought
the least the railway company could do
would he to allow the city to retain at
least half of the thoroughfare.
Mr. Powell told the assemblage that
they were all familiar with the fact that
«large amount of money had been ex-
pended to put North Main street in the
condition it is; there was no place where
teams passed so much as at this corner,
and it was essential for people to have
room to conduct business. ,
Presidentllill said a good engineer
had charge of the construction, the plans
submitted were the best, and the work
would be done in the best possible
manner.
This brought up the question of pave-
ment. Mr. McMahon wanted to know
if cobble stones, such as are laid between
the rails at present, were considered good
pavement.
Engineer Bill did not know that they
were; but. he added, the company would
readily agree to macadamize West me
one as it is at present, and pave North
Main street. fie thought, however, it
would be better not to do the paving
right away,ashe had been assured by
th: chief engineer of the Consolidated
railroad that their tracks would be ele
vated when the four tracks went through
the city, and the grade of the street
would perhaps be somewhat depressed;
therefore the company would use cobble
pavement until such time as the railroad
completed the four tracking. when a llf~
ty-flvs brick pavement. on concrete
foundation, almost noiseless to travel
ever, would be put down.
This brought ex-Councllman Volk to
the floor. He showed what the Tram-
way company. through these-ante men
who were now advocating an electric
line for the lions Railroad company,
had promised; not one of the promise
and been kept. if the company were
allowed to put down cobbles, Ir. Volk
said. cobbles would always remain there.
lake the company put down a block
pavement in the first pics. and than the
city would have it.
Ir. Mnohesler said there was one
thing which had notbean mentioned-u
the current escaping from the rails and
following the water plpestntbepowar
