But no such advantage would comesto the in- dividual from a decision compelling \such issue. In fact it is to be feared that the reverse would be true, at least in the matter of scrvice, The Washington correspondent The Herald states that a somewhat of poorer condition of rolling stock im- | provement is shown by the New Haven road than on the railroads as a whole throughout the United The details of the showing road in this regard were published in this newspaper yesterday. Now it quite certain that the New Haven has not fallen behind other roads in this desire on the States. of the matter because of any part of the road to fail to improve the condition of its rolling stock. It, like the owner of any other property, wants to see its property kept in good condition. Undoubtedly it is making an effort to improve that Improved rolling stock means better service-——and better is what the individual wants, If forced to is- sue mileage books at $72, this amount representing reduced rates for those who could buy 2,500 miles of trans- portation at one time, it is quite cer- tain that the funds available for im- provement of rolling stock would be decreased, while the occasional user of the road would not be bencfited. It is a question, also, whether or not, in the long run,‘the mileage book at this price would benefit immediate- ly the concerns which would save money by their use. Above all the service must be improved and even a saving of transportation cost, if made at the expense of the rolling stock and the service, would not be a permanent advantage. service Our clreulation statistics nre | | with any | many | condition. | | { | | { | because | better | customs and manner of | geographical | ture » NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, APRIL 24, 1923.
