There was quite a persistent rumor on Thursday that with the introduc- tion of the copper zone system of fares on the Norwich trolley lines, there was to be a change in the local fares, but President Robert W. Perkins of the Shore Line Electric Railway com- pany said on Thursday evening that this idea was an error. When the copper zone system is made applicable here, which will not be for some time yet, there will be no change in fares on the city line, meaning the Yantic line and the Taft- ville. Beyond Taftville it will mean some change, but it will work, as it does in other places, for the benefit of the persons who ride varying short distances beyond the Taftville fare terminal. As for instance there will probably be a 6 cent rate to the Durr's blacksmith shop stop and an 8 cent rate to Occum. Now passengers from Franklin square to either of these points pay 10 cents.

Coroner Stephen B. Davis of Mid- dletown who has rendered a finding in the case of John W. Kelly, former- Iy of this city, but lately living in Hartford, who was killed when his au- tomobile upset at the Slam dock bridge in Gildersleeve on Sunday, Nov. 14. The folowing is the finding: “I find that the deceased, with a friend, left Hartford at 10 o'clock Sunday morning, Nov. 14, 1915, for the purpose of making tests of the auto in which they were riding. They went .through several towns and about 2 o'clock p. m., came to Middletown and crossed the river to Portland on their way to Hartford. “They were noticed by several per- sons when passing _Gildersleeve, a short distance from the place of the accident and their testimony is to the effect that the machine then was run- ning at about 20 miles an hour. The approach to the bridge, called Cox's bridge, the place of the accident, while not very dangerous, is a some- what difficult one, the bridge being badly placed, and at this point is not in a line with the general direction ot the highway, but is more at right an- gles with the stream which is spanning and at an angle with the direction of the road. The road swerves to the left, going towards Hartford, and then back to the right after the bridge is crossed. \ “The bridge can be seen for 500 feet away, which would seem to be a suf- ficient distance to put the driver of an auto on his guard. “But in this case, although the driver, the deceased, was an expert in driving .an auto, and a perfectly tem- perate man, the machine must have been going at a very high rate of speed as it came to the bridge and the driver' must have lost contrel of it, for the side of the bridge was struck with sufficient = force to throw two stones forming the right side of the bridge off and into the stream below, each one being about eight feet long and welghing about 3500 pounds apiece. The machine was wrecked, and the driver, the said John W. Kel- ley, was killed. While the bridge can be seen a long distance away, there are no warning signs placed on _the road. There should be some as a mattertof safety for the future. 4 do not find_ that any person or persons should be held to apswer for his death.” / 53 CASES COMING BEFORE PARDON BOARD.

SUPPLEMENTAL CREDITS TO PAY SHELL ORDERS IN CANADA To Make Loans to Great Britain in Form of Munitions Payments. Ottawa, Ont, Dec. 2—Canadian bankers at a meeting today with Fin- ance Minister White agreed to co- operate in a plan to establish supple- mental credits to help pay shell ord- ers placed in Canada. Since the be- ginning of the war Britain has paid Canada in cesh for munitions and has loaned the Dominion $150,000,000 for war operations. Hereafter, until the end of the war, the process will be reversed and Canada will make loans to PEritain in the form of muni- tion payments. It is estimated that by the end of 1916 Canada will have spent $400,000,- 000 on war expenses and will have manufactured for Great Britain muni- tions to the value of $600,000,000. While the resources of the Domin- ion would not enable the country to pay the entire $1,000,000,000 expendi- tures, it is believed that the arrange- ments which will be made by the Ca- nadian government and banks will en- able a very large proportion of the expense to be absorbed within the country. Details of the credit system for Britain which is being established in Canada will be made public within a few days.
