A Bridgeport figure with railway and political ties argued that a Bridgeport to Danbury trolley via Easton, Redding and Bethel is likely to be built. He suggested the Connecticut Co line may prevail over the Trumbull Monroe Newtown route, with potential Norwalk branch, due to shorter distance and greater business prospects along the Housatonic area.
