" boar el cothe Line B i b B s e CAR FARE. BOOST HELD REASONABLE P, U. Commission Decides in Favor of Con, Co, Hartford, July utilities commission in a decision made publie here rules that the loken fares established by the Cons he publie neetieut eompany, whereby three tokens are given for twenty-five cents, are not unreasonable, The petitions of the citles of Hartfo New Haven, Waterbury, New Bri. ain, and Stamford, which eclaimed hat the rates were too high and wsked for a reduction, are donied, Higher Bridgeport Vare, The mmission further find that the token fares:in Bridgeport and adjoining communities should be increased from seven and one- half cents or two tokens for fifteen cents, to aight and one-third cents or three tokens for twenty-five cents, The petition of the Connec~ tieut company for these changes in Bridgeport is granted. The commission also rules that it is not justified at this fime to make any arbitrary segregation of the Connecticut corpany’s rallway sys- tem or to change the existing divisional lines, The decision was reached after briefs had been filed by the cities interested and by the Connecticut company. Lists Changes in Fares. The commission in its findings shows that on October 20, 1920, the ‘maximum rate of road allowed to be charged by the Connecticut company was ten cents, except in the New London division. On No- vember 1, 1921, the company es- tablished & maximum fare in its New Tondon division of ten cents. Onr March 1, 1922, It is furthe pointed out, the Connecticut com- pany, while still retaining its max- ifmum.cash ten cent fare, volun- tarily reduced its fares by the use of tokens, selling three tokens for twenty-five cents. On April 1, 1923, the company made a - further voluntary reduc- tion. of its token fares from three for twenty-five cents to two for fif- teen cents. On April 1, 1923, a five cent radial zone fare, without transfer, in the city of Bridgeport, was changed to a maximum cash flat fare of ten cents and a token fare of seven and one-half cents or two tokens fer fft cents. This resulted in a uniform rate of fares on the com- pany's’ entire system, excepting in Norwalk, with this distinction, that adjoining communities were es tablished by the public utilities com- mission and could not be increased without: its approval, while all other token fares were company-made rates. Claimed Fare Unreasonable. The claims of the petitions were that the 8 1-3 cent token fare is unreasonable whether the value of the company’s property, its revenues and expenses be considered as an entity, or solely .ith relation to the several cities filing petitions and the lines and territories con- nected therewith and tributary thereto; that a principle or plan' of scgregated operating and accounting divisions for the company's entire system should be ordered by the com- mission. The arrangements to be in- cluded with such divisions were not set forth. Defense of Company. The Connecticut company claimed that the 8 1-3 ecent token rate of fare is no more than just and is less than what the company is con- stitutionally entitled to earn as a fair return upon the fair value of its property devoted to the public service; in the fixation of rates, the company should be considered as an entire system and to segregate the eompany's system into separate oper- ating and accounting divisions, other than the present divisions and to the extent they now maintain, is not necessary, is disadvantageous to the public weMare and illegal. Company’s 1923 Tncome. Tncluded in the commission’s re- port is an income statement of the Connecticut company as a whole for the year ending December 31, 1023, This shows that the company re- ceived from all sources of revenue about $14,780,000; that the wages, maintenance of property, power and general expenses were _$11,673,000; the federal, state ani municipal taxes amounted to $577,000, This left, according to the report, a bal- ance avallable for depreciation, re- turn on property and reasonable sur- plus of $2,530,000, | | | ‘Lower Fare; Less Income, The revenues for the year 1923, the report continues, were about 275,000 mors than in 1022, but the expenses increased $513,000, so that the balance available for de- preciation, ete, was about $256,000 leas than in 1822, The increase in revenne for 1923, the report con- tinués, is found in the first five raonths of that year when the § 1-3 cent token fare was In force. The last seven months of that year, during which time the 71, cent token fare was in fores throughout the state, in- clnding Bridgeport, shows a decrease in revenues of $200,000, and an in- crease in expenses of $410,000, as compared with the same months of the year 1922, The result was a de- crease in gross income for that per- iod at a rate of $84,000 a month, or a | decrease at the rate of about $1,000,- 000 a year, compared with 1022, Owes State Back Taxes. | The company still owes the state | of Connectitut nearly $502,000 in | overdue and unpaid taxes The company also oWwes an assessment | for the construction of the Wash- ington bridge over the Housatonic river, amounting to $487,000, | In reference to the proposed re- #rouping of the system Into other | cperating and accounting divigions, the ecommiasion finds that the only advantage would be the establish- ment of a rate of fare which might be lower for some divisions so cre- | ated, although higher for others. | Disapproves Regrouping. | “Binee it appears the peport continues, “that vislon as at present constit | value of the property in th deerense in rates for others” City Items Fealp treatments Parlor, G M, Rock, a trolley cur operated by yestarday morning, was slightly damaged, year old son of Dr, and Mys.

Such a division of activities, they believe, will enable them to pro- tect & nation-wide organization quick- ly and carry on an effective drive for votes. Decision already has been reached to have a headquarters in New York city under direction of Gilbert E. Roe, former law partner of Sepator La Follette, with jurisdiction over New England and eastern states. Headquarters for southern states | probably will be in Washington. In addition, it is planned to direct Paci- fic coast activities from some point in |the far-west, probably San Francisco, and to have headquarters for the northwest, southwest, and, perhaps middle-western states, such as Ohlo, Indiana and Illinols. All of the regional offices will be subordinate to maintain headquarters at Chicago, which is the base for Rep- ator La Kollett's campaign manager.
