State F: The New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company has an- nounced to the managements of the county and state fairs to be held in New - England during September. that extra service usually provided for these events may not be possible this year. This action is necessitated b the fact that the raiiroads in order to co-operate with the government must traffic , | to the movements of troops to the training camps. The contemplated troop movements throughout New England commence early in September. Some of the dates have been definitely set, but others have not. Changes are nec- 1} essitated from time to time and the railroads must be prepared to meet these changes. Troop movements must be made promptly, the equip- ment must be ready on iime, and after one movement is comple'ed the equipment must be kept mbbilized for - | immediate use. As in all other parts of the’ United States, there are a great many state and county fairs throughout New This year, j2mong others, will be the Connecticut Fair at Charter Oak Park, Hartfor the Washington County Fair at King: ton, Rhode Island; the Great Bar- rington Fair in the Berkshi: Danbury Fair and the Bro During the continuance of there is always an extraordinary amount of rraffic requiring an unusual argount of equipment. The chan, es are the troop movements will occur in some cases on dates conflicting wit the fairs, and in that case extra service to the publi¢ desiring to. attend these fairs.’ It mhay even be necessary to curtail regular passenger service during the troop movements. While the company knows the dates of the fairs it Is and will remain un- certain . concerning the dates of ° the troop movements until offictaliy noti- fied by the government. It is there- fore impossible to advise the manage- ments of the fairs whether the com- pany will be able to supply the usual equipment or not. In this conneection, Fajrfax Harrison, chairman of the railroads’ war board at Washington,” has issued the fol- lowing: “To the presidents of the New Ha- ven Railroad, the Main Central Rail ven Railroad, the Maine Central Rail- road, the Boston & Malne JRailroad, the Central Vermont Railroad, the | Central New Ingland Railway, the Bangor & Aroostook Railroad, and the vice presidents of the Boston & Al- bany railroad and the Rutlund Rail- road: letter of May 28th on the subjec “Your attention is called to the letter of May 28th on the subject of discouraging large gatherings of peo- ple requiring, special passenzer trans- portation during the war. “The season of state and other ag- ricultural fairs is approaching, and we call your attention to the fact that they come at a time when the ralil- roads will certainly be called upon by the government for a max‘mum_ of passenger servic It will therefore, be physically impossihle to supply the coaches and special train service for the state fairs this vear in the way they have been, supplied in the past.
