SERVICE TO BRISTOL The Bristol and Plainville trolley line comes under the Toonerville classification. Here is a one-track line, usually providing a good long wait at Plainville for anyone trying to pass through the town by trol- ley; another wait up the line for other cars to pass; and finally one gets to Bristol. The “running time” is not breath-taking; but if the will | ring. | depend town to pass- | More fuss has | | General Assembly sing through it—and it also has | | and it necessarily cannot over- | waiting time” for thorough trav- ers is added it takes at least an hour to get to Bristol from New Britain Most people. who do not operate thelr own automobiles all the time upon the trolley lines for “frequent service.” That, in fact, is the only justification for their exis- tence. If not 5o, then what fmprove- ments are inter-city lines over rail- roads? 5 The Bristol Traction company was authorized by the last session of the to operate the Bristol and Plainville trolley line as a separate unit. J. Henry Roraback is president and Charles L. Camp- bell secretary-treasurer. This means, it anything, that the | slow-moving Bristol-Plainville trol- i ley line will continue mangling the {time of trolley travelers. There has | lurking hope within the breasts of numecrous patrons that the line might be changed into a would be quicker give been a bus line, which and in all probability could more frequent service. A bus would be in Bristol by the time one of the Toonerville trolleys reached Forest- ville. But the new company, with | Roraback at the head, is mot like- to abandon the dear old elec- | tricity method. Roraback also is ! identified with the electric industry v in the state, and the last thing the electric fndustry thinks of is aban- doning a trolley line in favor of Busses don't use electricity, which Roraback's concern—or con- | | busses. cerns—have for sale.
