Lady Assistant sevectisiag F mnr‘n‘ B neotioNt eaual co Tha Bult NORWICH BULLETI), FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1916 HOW THE ZONE SYSTEM WORKS Copper Zone System Adopted by Shore Line Electric Com- pany for New London Division an Adjustment or Equalization of Fares—No Change in Fare Rate Within City Limits—Detailed Rates on Various Lines of New London Division. For eseveral years past there has been a continual advance in the cost of operating street railway properties, each year showing an increase in the operating expenses entirely out of pro- portion to the increase in the gross earnings, until the margin is not suffi- cient to provide a reasonable return on the investment. As a consequence, the credit of the street railway properties has been impaired and the financing for improvements and extensions made absolutely impossible. ‘This industry, like all other indus- tries, must adjust the price charged the public for its service to the cost of producing that service. Throughout New England many of the roads have secured increase of income by a change from five to the six cent zone. The Shore Line Electric Railway com- pany very nearly a vear ago realized the need of added income and decided to adopt six cents as the unit of ser- vice, but about_that time the railway managers of New England began a careful study of rate making through- out the country, and the management of the Shore Line finally came to the conclusion that a six cent rate simply emphasized the faults of the present fixed unit of fare and varving unit of service, and decided to adopt the short or copper zone system, which operates very closely to the mileage system. The passenger car mile is the univer- saly accepted basis of passenger fares on steam roads, and also among the street railway systems of the west, very nearly all of the trackage of the middle west being so operated. Early in the fall the Shore Line be- gan the adoption of the copper zone method of collecting fares on two of its divisions, and it is planned now to put it into effect on what is known as the New London division, between New London and Willimantic, and Norwich and West Thompson. An Equalization of Fares. This is. first, an adjustment or equal- ization of fares. In the case of the rresent system a passenger pays o cents for a ride in any part of one zone, and these zones vary in length from two miles to nine miles. Should a passenger board a car near the end of one zone and ride but a short dis- tance into the next zone, he would pay 10 cents, which is some instances makes a very high rate per mile. For irstance, a passenger riding from Nor- wich to the top of Butternut Hill, be- low Trading Cove, pays 5 cents. A second 5 cents_entitles him to ride as far south as Hilltop, below Montville, but he pays the same if riding only to Gallivan lane ,a few hundred feet south of the first fare terminal. Under the new system the rate from Franklin square to Trading Cove will be 5 cents to Station 124, just south of Gallivan 6 cents, to Cooke’s, south of Mo- hegan Hill, 8 cents, and so on to Mont- ville station, 12 cents, and the same principle in going north from Norwich. The rate to Taftville will be 5 cents, to the blacksmith shop on the flats between Taftville and Occum 6 cents, and Occum 8 cents, where formerly the rate to the blacksmith shop and Oceum was 10 cents. This raises the rate from Norwich to Baltic 2 cents, just what would result from a 6 cent unit of fare, so far as Baltic is concerned, but a concession is made to interme- diate riders. Under the new system the paseenger will pay for his transportation in one payment and receive an identification check or receipt for fare paid. To give accurate information as to the result of this change, the following explanation is necessary: Beginning at the Parade in New London, Station 106, even numbers in multiples of two are placed at all fare terminals to the end of the line Willimantic and West Thompson. The fare is readily determined by subtract- ing the number of one fare terminal from the number of the other, these numbers being placed on poles or sta- tions along the line. Where the dif- ference is less than 6 cents a minimum charge of 5 cents is made. This covers a ride in any two zones and maintains the nickel as the unit of fare. Norwich City Service. In the city service in Norwich a 5 cent fare entitles a passenger to ride from Franklin square to Yantic, from Franklin square to Taftville and the entire length of the West Side, Laurel Hill and Boswell avenue lines, and to transfer from one of these lines to the other and as far north, on the Taft- ville line, as the Catholic cemetery, and on the Yantic line as far as Avery Brothers’. If, however, a passenger desired to ride from any point in Greeneville, that is between Franklin square and joyed the ride immensely and return- ed in high spirits. Cornerstone Club. The Cornerstone club of the Taft- ville Congregational church will hold their beefsteak supper in the vestry Monday night. A musical and social program has been arranged and a jol- ly good time is expected. Basketball Edward Murphy went home from work terday aftermoon ill with a hard cold. / Practice.

B ——— PURE BLOOD MAKES HEALTHY PEOPLE Hood’s Sarsaparilla removes scrofula sores, boils and other erup- tions, because it drives out of the blood the humors that cause them. Eruptions cannot be suceessfully treated with external applications, because these cannot purify the blood. Hood’s Sarsaparilla makes rich, red blood, perfeets the digestion, and builds up the whole system. In- sist on having Hood’s. (et it now. the Catholic cemetery, to Yantic, thi fare would be 6 cents, and the through fare from Taftville to Yantic 8 cents (four zones, 2 cents each), the Yantic and Taftville lines being divided into two zones. From Taftville to any point on the West Side. Laurel Hill or Bos- well avenue lines the fare will be 6 cents, and the same rate would apply from Yantic to points on these branch lines and as far north as the Catholic cemetery on the Taftville line. The fare from Norwich to the rail- road crossing in Willimantic is now 25 cents, under the new system it will be 30 cents. The fare from South Wind- ham to the railroad crossing in Willi- mantic will remain the same as hereto- fore, namely, 5 cents. Coming south, from Willimantic to Williams’ crossing the fare will be 8 cents, where formerly 10 cents, and 2 cents added for each even mbered pole south, and the fare to Baltic will be 18 cents. Local Fare Rates in New London. In the city of New London, as far north as Reservoir street, 5 cents in either direction applies. That is, a person may ride from Reservoir street to Ocean Beach or on any of the branch lines in New London. The old terminal on the Norwich-New London line was Benham avenue. The fare from the Parade in New London to Best View, under the new system, will be 5 cents; to Quaker Hill § cen! to Alexander’s 8 cents: to Dr. Fox's 10 cents, and to Montville as far north as Comstock’s above the’switch (station 118) 12 cents. If, however, a passenger desired to ride from any point in New London north of the Pequot, which is Station 0-104, the fare to Montville would be 14 cents where it is now 15 cents; to Quaker Hill $ cents, where it is now 10, and to Best View 6 cents, where it is now 10 cents. To Ocean Beach the fare would be 2 cents addi- tional, making the fare 16 cents to Montville, where the rate now is 13 cents. From the Parade in New London to Franklin square in Norwich, or as far east as the Shore Line offi near Preston bridge, the rate is cents. Under the present system a passenger who_desires to ride from the Parade in New London to any point in Nor- wich beyond Franklin square pays 2§ cents. A passenger taking the car at the Parade in New London and desiring to ride to the end of the Laurel Hill, West Side or Boswell avenue lines, or as far out on the Taftville nine as the Catholic_cemetery, or_on the Yantic line as far as Avery Brothers’, would pay 26 cents, 1 cent more than the present rate. If, however, the passenger boarded the car in the city of New London south of the Parade and not further south than the Pequot (this would in- clude all the local lines in New Lon- don), ‘he would pay to ride to any point in the city of Norwich 28 cents, 2 cents less than the present rate of fare, and for a ride from Ocean Beach to these same terminals 30 cents, the exact amount of the present rate. The rate from Taftville or Yantic to Ocean Beach will be 32 cents, 2 cents more than the present rate of fare. On the Jewstt City Line. On the Jewett City line the rates will be as follows: From Franklin square to Jewett City 18 cents, now 15; to Plainfield 28 cents, now 25; to Central Village 34 cents, the present rate being 30 cents. From Taftville postofice to Jewett City the fare will be 14 cents where it is now 15, and from Occum to Jewett City 18 cents where it is now 20, and the 14 cent rate would apply from Jewett City as far south as the Cath- olic cemetery. From Norwich to Moosup the fare will be 38 cents where it is now 35, but as the Moosup line is split into two zones the 36%ent rate would apply as far east as the Red bridge, making the rate from Norwich 1 cent more than at present. = Passengers on the Moosup branch wculd buy a through ticket to Waure- gan for 8 cents, and from points be- tween Red bridge and the railway sta- tion to Wauregan would be 6 cents, where formerly 10 cent fare was col- lected, giving "the patrons of the Moosup branch what is equivalent to a tranefer. The rate from Moosup to Plainfield is 10 cents and from the Red bridge 8 cents. The present rate is 10. North of Central Village. From Central Village north the fare to Attawaugan hotel in Danielson 12 cents, where it is now 10 cents, and from the Red bridge on the Moosup line to Danielson 14 cents where it is 15 now Moosup 16 cents where it is now 15. The local ride from Daniel- son as far north as Elmville and as far south as the power house will be & cents, and 5 cents would cover a local ride between Stations 174, Shanty Hill, and 178, Connecticut mills. The fare fromp the Attawaugan hotel to Dayville Center 6 cents, to Wild- wood park 8 cents where formerly 10, and from Attawaugan hotel to Putnam railway station, or Pomfret street, in Putnam, 18 cents. From the center of Putnam south as far as the station known as Wheaton's the fare will be 5 cents, and 5 cent rate will apply as far north as Mechanicsville, station 198D. The rate from Putnam to the Coun- try club will be 6 cents, and from Danielson to the club 14 cents. The fare from Pomfret street to Wildwood park 10 cents, the same as at present, this rate also applying to Attawaugan crossing. An Adjustment of Fares. From the above detailed description it wili be seen that while there is a slight increase in the rate’ charged to through passengers, there has been an adjustment of fares which applies in the caes of the intermediate riders, ‘whereas the adoption of a 6 cent rate would mean a 20 per cent. increase in fare 10 every patron of the road, no matter how short the ride. The principal advantage of this cop- per zone system is its near approach to the passenger mile as the basis of the charge and the retention of the nmickel a4s the unit of fare. It is quite possible that the appli- cation of this system on the New London division may develop the need, in order to be absolutely just to all patrons of the road, of slight changes in the location of fare terminals, but it is believed that the principle in- volved is correct. Unfairness of the Old System. The unfairness of the old system is very clearly shown in the case of patrons who live just over the end of the présént 5 cent terminal and who from the location of their home or business are unable to use the full ride for which they pay.
