Trust suit against New Haven may be dropped
Department of Justice plans to abandon the dissolution proceeding against the New York New Haven and Hartford Railroad Co due to insufficient evidence. A bill in equity filed May 22, 1908 in Massachusetts charged combining railroad and electric systems in New England in violation of the Sherman Act. Wade Fillis, new assistant to the attorney general, reviews facts with John A. Kratz and may discuss the matter with the attorney general.

Fire commission seeks funds to replace antique No 1 truck
The fire commission asked the common council for approval to buy a new fire truck to replace the old No 1 vehicle at Norman street West End. The vintage truck, built 33 years ago by Edward B. Leverich, has fought more alarms than any other apparatus and remains in service though its outdated design clashes with modern needs.
