HAK If You Would Be 25 R i 2% In many instances for 72 hours after the beginning of the storm employees were an constant duty, some in an endeavor to clean the tracks and others in maintain- ing the rolling equipment, various units of which were constantly glving away under the strain to which they were subjected. The cleaning of the track areas provided a path through the streets which made possible all vehicular f{raffic.. This enabled the grocer, the milkman, the expressman, the parcel post and the newspaper agent’ to maintain an uninterrupted delivery service much to the convenience and comfort of everybody. It also facilitated the operation of the competitive motor busses which did not appear on the streets until the day and night cfforts of the trolley company’s employees made their operation possiblg. The only streets that have been cleared for traffic are those though which there are car tracks.

For this purpose there has been a man stationed on each line in order to accommodate the opera-tion as nearly as possible to the service requirements. Another =erious difficulty has been the changes in temperature from one ex- treme to the other. During the day a large amount of water flows along the tracks; at night the temperature drops to considerably below freczing so that in the morn- ine the ice on the rails makes operation practically impossible. Cars are being operated on lines where thi: condition is most serious all night long, but the drops in the temperature have been so rapid and so great that it has been impossible to overcome the trouble and the service is delayed until the tracks can be dug out, To assist in the ice destroying process we have so far used over three million pounds of salt. ‘With the advent of heavy thawing conditions we will be faced with an increased number of disabled cars due to water getting into the motors and burning them out, but every effort will be made to restore such cars to service as quickly as possible. We realize that these conditions are no less trying to our patrons than they are to us. but we earnestly solicit your consideration until conditions are restored to normal. We have felt that there was an obligation resting upon the trolley com- pany to use every effort to maintain service during the period when no other means of transportation was available, and particularly at this time when rates of fare have just been increased. We would call the attention of our patrens to the fact that service has been generally maintained while in other parts of Connecticut and adjoining states many lines have been abandoned by reason of the great cost re- quired in the constant fight against snow, ice and flood. e THE CONNECTICUT COMPANY lm D CLASSIFIED AD?
