Many Do Not Under Value of Zone Tickets. Unfamilarity with _the new zone fare system on the Shore Line Elec- tric Railway system is responsible for some passengers paying more than necessary to get to their destinations. ‘ailure to purchase a through ticket is the fault in the majority of cases. For instance, a passenger boards a car at Ocean Beach bound for Nor- wich. He pays a_fare of five cents to wet to the parade in New London nd then pays 24 cents to come to Norwich, a total of 29 cents. Had he told the conductor on the car from the h that he was going through to Norwich the conductor would have en him a through zone ticket for 8 cents, a saving of one cent. The amount saved by buying a through ticket increases according to the dis- tance the passenger is to buy. A sa ing of three or four cents a trop amounts in time to a tidy sum. Many people do not know what the zome tickets mean. Each zome ticket contains the name of every zone st: tion and its number. The way to ar- rive at the fare from one point to another is by substracting the zone number from the other, the dif- ference being the far ON THE INCREASE. Gross Revenue Shows Large Gain For the Past Month. Gross revenues of the New Haven road continues to show large increases. Preliminary returns for the first three weels of February indicate that revenues gained 26 per cent., ssenger § per cent. and total gross ser cent. over 1915. Recent operating and car hire costs, however, have been exceedingly heavy, Cue to fraffic congestion. This is not beoming less. In_fact, the latest re- port shows 53,400 freisht cars on New Haven's rejl: That is a new high record and com- pared with 51,600 a week previous. There are about 15,000 cars to be un- loaded, another top mnotch and 21,000 cars, some loaded and some empty, are awaiting movement. Bast bound em- bargoes now in force by other rail- roads, however, should help the New Haven in clearing up its tracks. FILES APPEAL AGAINST PROBATE COURT ACTION. an N fied With strator.

Lawless, repre senting the remonstrants against the increase in fare on the Montville and Norwich trolley line, Wednesday had five petitions alike in form in circu- lation along the route. . Having sev- eral petitions is of course a matter of convenience in reaching various sections simultaneously. FEach is re- ceiving a full quota of signature. The new system of payment is the chief topic of conversation on the cars and the conductors, who are naturally not responsible for the change, are the target for remarks of none too com- plimentary character. Attorney Lawless sald Wednesday that as soon as the petitions have been fully circulated, a formal remonstrance will be placed before the public utili- ties commission. NEW LONDON DEFENDANT IN $5,000 SUIT. Katherine White Claims Damages for Fall on Main Street. The city of New London is made the defendant in a civil action brought by Katherine White of New London. On July 29, 1915, the plaintiff fell in a cavity on the sidewalk on Main street, New London, and sustained severe in- juries to both knees and knee joints, S0 much so that ulceration has taken place, and she has been put to much expense for medicine and medical treatment. The plaintiff claims the injuries were caused by the negligence of the city of New London. The plain- tiff claims $5,000 damages. ENTERS CIVIL ACTION FOR $3,000 DAMAGES.

At the meeting of the New London Harbor commission In the capitol at Hartford Tuesday afternoon, the sub- committee was authorized to proceed at once to secure bids by advertising for the construction ef Sheds, “office bulldings and ail etnef detalls of the superstructure for the state steamship terminal at Bast New London. It is estimated this will en- fall an’expenditure of approximately $300,000, which sum will include the cost of elevators and other necessary equipment. Plans for the superstructure are al- ready virtually completed. The ma- terial to be used will consist of steel, concrete and timber. One huge ware. house 1,000 feet long and 100 feet wide will cover the entire central portion of the great pier, where the filled area is located. This structure will be two stories in height and will rest upon a_substantial foundation of big con- crete blocks and hundreds of heavy piles. In the ware house, the upper floor of which will be used for perma- nent storage purposes, that is for goods likely to remain some length of time, will be offices of various kinds. The greater portion of the remain- der of the pier, which has & width of 50 feet on each side of the warehouse, will be covered with a single story shed. A part of the pler surface will, however, be left open for the recep- tion of certain bulk cargoes, such as lumber, which do not require protec- tion from the elements and which can be more conveniently handled in the open. The construction of all the su- perstructure will be of a type known as_fire-resisting. It is anticipated that about six weeks will be required to finish the final detailsh of the plans and to ar- range for publication of invitations to bid and responses from contractors. With the award of the contract, work will begin immediately and the super- structure will be finished in the sum- mer. This does not imply, however, that the terminal will not be ready for us before that time. There is to be a stipulation with the successful con- tractor to the effect that when any articular unit of the superstructure is completed, it may be taken over by the commission and used at once in the operation of the terminal. While the price of buflding materals is high at the present time, there §& no as- surance that they may not be higher and for this reason the commission determined to proceed at once with the supersiructure construction and thereby get into the steamship maricet as soon as possible. Excellent Investment for Stat That there will be no difficulty in leasing pler space at a rental suf- cient to bring to the state an excellent return on its investment is no longer oben to doubt, since inquiries are be- ing constantly received from steam- information concerning the terminal and the probable date of its comple- tion. In this connection it is of interest front terminals in the world, Is prov- in_ these facilities generally are overtaxed. In the past year there was an increase pier of mearly 70 per cent. The tremendous amount of freight since cared for far exceeds all previ- ous records. Without its facilities, come to Boston, in prominent business men of that eity. Within the last two weeks the Ham- burg-American liners Amerika and Cincinnati have been taken over to Bast_Boston to give more room on the Commonwealth pier, where they have been tied up since the beginning of the war. Their removal will make it possible to unload at least five ships at the pler at one time, It is the belief of those who have been foremost in making the state steamship terminal at East New Lon- don a reality that it will score a suc- cess in proportion to that of the Com- monwealth pier. They feel that it he- aquires little stretch of the imagina- tion to- duplicate the near future the scenes of the Roston terminal, where cargoes of many kinds of com- modities, including wool. hides, rub- ber, cotton, Manila hemp and other articles too numerous for classifica- tion are piled high in all available space. Such work as was possible under the weather conditions has been going on at the pier during the last few months, the principal feature being land ex- cavation by the steam shovels of the J. E. Fitzgerald Co. This portion of the terminal approach construction is now well toward completion and it is stated that at the present time, with 24 hours’ notice, suitable track con- nections could be made with the Cen- tral Vermont line whereby freight cars could be hauled to and from the pier with steamship cargoes. PAPER SUPPLY IS GETTING LOW Thames River Special Awaiting Arrival The Thames River Specialties Co. at Thamesville has two paper laden barges on the way and is anxiouxly awaiting their arrival as the supply paper at the company is getting iqW. The Thames tug Minnie passed barges on her way to New London when off New Haven, the barges be- ing in a Blue line tow. The Blue fleet had been forced to seek shelter in Bridgeport and later in New Haven, and this has been the cause of the de- lay. The Thames river tugs will tow the barges to Thamesville as soon as they arrive. CONNECTICUT PATENTS. T. F. Oldroyd's Invention Included in This Week’s List.
