Owing to the prevalling conditions and_the extraordinary high increase in prices of railroad material and supplies, many interurban _electrie railways have increased the fares and it is expected that the Shore Line Electric road will be forced to ad- vance the rates a little in this vicin- ity. It is possible that the six cent fare may be inaugurated here. Nothing definfte has_yet been de cided upon by the officials of the company as to the raising of the fares. During the past two vears the cost of operating a car per mile has doubled and materia] such as rails ties, ‘switches, and cars has increased from 100 per cent to 300 per cent. Labor has also increased. President R. W. Perkins in cos pany with two other prominent rai road men have been investigating the conditions of the troiley companfes throughout New ngland and find that they are all in a bad way. Some of them are at present oper- ating at a loss. To remedy this it is necessary to raise the price of the fare. Sixty-eisht companies have raised their fares in New England during the past few months. Some companies are operating a fare zone similar to the Shore Line Company and others are charging so much a bile but in either case they have been obliged to increase their rates. Six-cent trolley fares are not new to Connecticut. The Hartford and Springfield Street Railway company has been charging a -cent-zone ate for several yea The Shore Line Electric Rallway company discontinued a strictly S5-cent-zone rate a couple of years ago, and now collects on a sort of milage basis, has issued a statement In which he ars it is imperative that the trans- t lines get more revepue, because with present prospects they are un- able to obtain money for mainten- ance and_extension of service, Mr. Choate indicated that the electric railways of other states had their eve the outcome of the move- ment by the New York state com- anios. “Ilearings on tha most important clact railway rate case ever brouzht up in America will hegin in Albany on Tuesday,” he said, “and sult ure of that depends in great meas- bustness in Tnited States.

When investors will take no further part in a business the ser- vice must suffer.
