§ 2 wine and Avoi d Wasic e General All'Around Cleaner FORCED TO INCREASE FARES President Robert W. Perkins Says Shore Line Road Hes Just Passed Through Hardest Year of Its History—Net Earn- ings of Company for Fiscal Year Represent Less Than One-tenth of One Per Cent. on Investment. That the Shore Line Electric Rail- way colnpany finds itself forced to in crease the trolley fares within the iear future was the statement J night by President Robert W. The Share Line Blectric lway tompany, like most of the treet raflways in the country, said resident Perkins, has just pmssed Ihrough the hardest year of its history, with operating e: nses advancing at rate undreamed Of even after the hiaing cost of the frst year of the war. Just when the new rates will go Ito effect Mr. Perkins said he was ble to announce.Friday night. He id_say, however, that the local rate pithin_ the city limits would remain it _five cents. - President Perkins' ows: The Shore Line Blectric Rallway Company, like all street railways, is pelling a product of raw material, labor and investment that changes in cost of production just as does the uet of the mine, the mill, the lactory and the farm, and is to-day selling it at less than cost. The Shore Line, like most of the street railways of the country, has Just passed through the hardest yoar its history, with operating costs ancing at a rate undreamed of even after the rising cost of the first ear of the war, and because of these agvanges every economy has been in each department of the usiness unti] the management is forced to the conclugfon that if safe and satisfactory service is to be rendered to the public increased reve nue per must he secured. , Ecomomy in 11 railway business, if Massachusetts.

In New York state advances have byen put into effect and about thirty companies have an- nounced increases as absolutely nee- essary. ‘Whilé the great advance in cost of all materials that are necessary in the opération of a street railway are gen- erally known, the public_should xnow that, ir the case of the Shore Line, A few expenditures that are now siving the management serlous con- cern are the North Main Street track work and pavement $12,833.00; Franks lin Street pavement $3.905.00: Thames Street improvement $21.288.65.

Expenditures of this gen- ..from compelled by lack of revenue, means neglect of maintenance which shortly must show itself in the condition of tracks, bridges, over-head system, power plants and equipment. Hcono- my this year means added expense later and it cannot long be’avoided. There are but few street railways in the country that did not in the fi year ending June 30, 1917, shrink their net revenue and most of them almost to the venishing point. In the case of the Shore Line, after consolidating its subsidiary companies under conditions so favorable as to reduce by nearly ome million dollars the total of outstanding obligations on which earnings might reasonably be expected, and at the same time cutting out rentals and intersst to the amount of over ninety-two thousdnd dollars per annum, with, the belie§ that future earnings would at least protect the bond intetess, the combined properties show a defiéit of ever $150,000.00. Under such conditions a street rail- way is unable to borrow and its only protection against collapse is an in- crease of the rates charged for serv- ice. Every reader of the dally papers has seen from time to time motics of the advances of passenger rates in New England and throughout the gguntry. over sixty-elght companies bAving put into effect higher rates, the usual change being to a six-eent minimum fare; in some cases to seven and elght, and in one or two cases to ten cents. Several companies have adopted the short or copper zone sys- tem, increasing the rate per mile, and there is scarcely a road in New Eng- Jand that can long exist without help of this nature. of the notable changes are, as to 6c per zone -from 6c to 7c and Sc per zone -from 5c to 6c per zone .from 6c to 8c per zone -from 5c to 6c per zone -from 5¢ to €c per zone from Gc to 6c per zone rom 5c to 7¢ per zone from 5c to 7c per zone from 6c to 7c per zone changing to Copper Zone changing to Copper Zone bc to 6c per zone with lc for transfer 35c to 5oc 15¢ to 200 5c to 8c per zone B¢ to 7c per zone ¢ to 6e per zone 5¢ to 7c per zone 5c to 6c per zone' coal consume@ in the year ending June 30, 1916, cost $151,131.66; in the vear ending June 30, 1917, $248,194.57, an increase of $97,012.91. For the same period ‘the labor account was, 1916, $500,047.15; 1917, $593,073.79; an increase of $93,026.64. - During = the same period the gross earnings in- greased 841 per cent dnd experses increased 26.89 per cent., with the re- sult that the net earnings of the com. pany, for the fiscal yea# just past, represent less than one-tenth of one per cent. on the investment, eral nature made during the past four vears represent more than a half million dollars, yet net earnings are less than they were four years ago, and they represent sossmall = return on investment that eapital can no longer be attracted $o the industry.

Monday, October 4, is the day on which you will again decide the License question in the town of Killingly. As usual, the invitations are out for you to vote no-license. As usual, you are being told that Killingly will be better off without a license, and, as usual, you know that there is very good ground for you to doubt that claim. An invitation to vote no-license in the town of Killingly, it has been demonstrated on various occasions in the past, is an invitation to restore an illegal; unregulated sale of liquor, There is no going back of the returms. NO-LI- CENSE NEVER HAS MADE KILLINGLY A DRY TOWN, AND IT NEVER WILL. No-license makes Killingly a wet town without a license, and the town with its debt rapidly increasing and facing another increase in taxes, already burdensome cannot afford to play that kind of a game. An invitation to vote no-license is an invitatien to you to aid in' restoring the PONY EXPRESS BUSINESS, the success of which three years ago forced the voters of this town to pile up the greatest majority for license that this town had ever known. But the pony express business isn’t all. With no-li cense in force the hey-days of the illegal liquor sellers re- turn, and these men get the thousands of dollars in revenue that should go into the treasury of the town of Killingly to keep its ever increasing debt from getting out of all bounds and forcing an increase in the tax rate to a point where some owners of property will find it difficult to meet their assessments, Rightfully charged in the past with having failed to en- force a real no-license policy in this town of Killingly, the supporters of a no-license policy do not come before the voters of the town with a clear right to ask them to take Killingly’s license away. Leading no-license workers who are frank admit that they do not hope to stamap out the sale of liquor in this town, but to restrict the sale. This is in effect admitting THAT " LIQUOR WILL BE SOLD IN KILLINGLY UNDER NO-LICENSE, and that the town won’t get a cent of revenue from the traffic. In other words, here is'an open admission that no-license fails utter- ly, as it always has failed, to accomplish real restriction.in the sale of liquor: ’ Like starters in a race, the Pony Expresses are already lining up for the bopanza business that will be theirs if Killingly votes NO. 'It’s only eight miles to the border of Putnam, a sure thing license town, and the ponies will dump liquor and beer into every village of the town of Killifgly in truck load lots if this town votes to go back to no-license. - Instead of having regularly licensed places, restricted to certain sections of the town—Danielson and Dayville—the whole of Killingly, manufacturing villages and all, will be made a clear fleld for the operations of the un-licensed pony expressers. AND KILLINGLY WONT GET A NICKEL OF REVENUE. There is a legal way for the pony expresses to operate, and they certainly will take advantage of it. Can you doubt that they'll overlook such rich picking?) Not a chance in a million years. But the man who votes no-license votes to bring back this very thing. Rivaling Theda of the Movies, no-license plegders al- most weep in reviewing the so-called evils of license. Very well. They might, but.will not, weep over the hypocracy and the miserable failure of no-license as a policy. A PINT OF LIQUOR PURCHASED FROM A LAW-BREAKING DEALER, WHETHER HE OPERATES BEHIND A PLATE GLASS FRONT AND UNDER A RESPECTABLE GUISE OR FROM A PONY EXPRESS OR A KITCHEN BARROOM OR JUST OUT OF THE OLD HIP POCKET IS JUST AS POTENT TO CAUSE TROUBLE AS A PINT OF LIQUOR BOUGHT FROM A LICENSED DEALER. You get the idea, Mr. Voter? The no-license people are asking you fo trade a regulated policy for an unregulated one. The no-license people plead with you t®save men. In- vite them to produce a list of those who have been reformed in Killingly under no-license. Ask them to name names and to talk facts, not buncombe. No-license doesn’t save a drunkard. If it did every man in Killingly willingly would vote license. No-license simply transfers the drunkard’s trade from a licensed to an un-licensed dealer. Theoretically, no-license is great stuff. Practically, it is a dismal failure. There is one thing that it always is certain of accomplishing, however, and that is CUTTING DOWN KILLINGLY’S REVENUE BY SEVERAL THOUSAND DOL- LARS. You can always be sure of this if you can’t about any other failing feature of the no-license program. The no-license plan is to cut off your leg becaiise on one toe you have a corn that aches. One might as well argue that stoves should be banished from the country because children are burned to death by them, or that all of the waters should be bottled up because men, women and chil- dren are drowned in them., No invitations are issued to people to visit the licensed places of Killingly, but thousands come and go away again. Is Killingly ready to turn these people out of their own town and send them and their business away to Putnam at Killing- 1y’s expense? Many men will go out of town notwithstand- ing the adequate supply made available here under no-license by the pony express and other systems of getting liquor. Killingly hasn’t a trace of grievance against Putnam, but Killingly must look after her own business interests. Killing- ly’s debt is piling up in an astounding way and so long as liquor will be sold here under no-license there is not a sensi- ble.zeason why the town shouldn’t have the reyenue from the license. During the coming year Killingly faces another increase in debt that may be, and probably will be, in excess of $10,000 if this town Votes no-license. It can’t be otherwise, the high prices prevailing being considered. Do you want this town to pay its bills, Mr. Voter, or do you want your town to ex- periment with the broken-down hypocritical no-license game, that doesn’t accomplish anything whilegit runs the town in greater debt for its folly? You must realize that no-license is a farce. You know that under such a system liquor will be sold here just the same, no matter what is promised you now, and you know that such a policy is little better than an alliance with the forces that are seeking for a chance to,sell liquor illegally in Killingly. All the people who vote no-license are not temper- ance men. They pave, in many cases, an axe to grind. Are you willing to help, or are you going to vote a straight license yes ticket and regulate an industry that must be regulated if it is to be kept under centrol? - Will you vote for the licensed places, or will you vote for the kitchen barrooms, the pony expresses and the other agencies that will' be in the liquor business if license goes out? . Your opportunities are clear, but the stopping of the liquor traffic is not @among them. VOTE LICENSE YES CITIZENS' COMMITTEE, KILLINGLY i
