The b I tiful gifts inc] | ang ‘The towns of Norwich and Sprague are jointly protesting the raise and system of trolley fares that has been put into effect by the Shore Line Elec-, tri¢ company and have filed theit pro- test with the public utiliti fihcommu- gion with a demand for a lic hear~ ing at the earliest possitle moment. Acknowledginy the receipt of the pro- fest, the public. utilities has promised to appoint a date for the hearing if 4 letter they have sent to the Nor- wich selactmen. After the zone system Was put into effect on the local trolley, lines, & largely attended town meeting last fall rogistered its protest against the raise which that system effected and di- rected by vote that the seictmen should take steps to combat that raise, Since then the seiectmen have had the matter under consideration with town counsel Henry H. Pettis, and now that a new change has been made in the system of collecting fares in the town of Norwich, they have drawn up and filed the petition with the public utili- ties commission at Hartford. It is al- leged that the trolley fares are exces- sive, discriminating, and unjust upon the towns affected. Attorney Joseph T. Fanning has beén engaged as as- sociate counsel by the Norwich select- men, and the town of Sprague had joined i the petition and is represent- od by fte coumsel, Attormey V. P. A. Quinn. In speaking of the pétition ard pro- test, attorney Pettis said on Thursday that it was the contention of the Nor- wich selectmen, that the new system in force within the limits of the town of Norwich now, anq also within New London, was an attempt by the trolley road to make the two most thickly populated places make up the shortage on their patts of the trolley road where riding is not so heavy. He said that everyone would doubtless admit that a certain amount of raise in trolley fares was necessary under present conditions. but the selectmen could not believe there had been an increase of 100 per cent in expenses of operating the road within the last few vears during which there had been an increase in_that propor- tion in troliey fares. The Norwich public ought r.ot to be asked and ob- lgea to pay for shortazes on othef parts of the eystem, whatever the cause of these might be. It now costs, Mr. Pettis pointed out, 20 cents to travel by trolley from Nor- wich Town green to ten fect above St. Mary's cemotery, if the passenger should fafl to ask for a transfer from Franklin square. This used to be 5 cents, and each of these points is ab- out two miles from the center of the city.

KILLED BY ELEVATOR AT QUILT MILL Joseph Baldwin was killed in an elevator accident at the Washinzton street mill of the Palmer Bros. Co. at New 1y Thursday after- noon g and unloading bales of blankets and quilts. How the accident happened is not exactly known. It is not certain whether the’ elevator struck Mr. Bald- win on its descent fro mthe upper floor and he was thrown into the pit or whether he had 2 dizzy spell and fell into the pit and was caught b the elevator. He was found the floor in the pit with his head caught between the edge of the floor and the elevator. Mr. Baldwin had _been in the em- ploy of the Paimer Bros. Co. for about 30 years and was known as a faith- ful and industrious worker. He re- cently celebrated his golden wedding anniversary. Mr. Baldwin leaves his wife who is _in delicate health, and a dead on daughter. He was 2 member of the Federal iStreet Methodist Episcopal church. He came to New London from Long Island.

Years Ago this fact was ap- preciated by the transportation com- panies and the way was made easy for peopts to’ zet there. But for some uhexplained reagon travel in that di- réetion has been' didcouraged in recent years. [acilities for reaching New Lontdon from this part of the state have grown worse and worse until the nconveniences one has to undergo to get there are now aimost enough to forbld the journey. “The time was, twenty-five years a20, when ohe tauild léave Manches- ter by train at 7.15 in the morning and arrive in Naw London, by way of Willimantic, scon after §." He would find, waiting to connect With®hig train at New London, boats for Fishers Is- land, Watch Hill, Block Island and intervening places. The fares tweére low and thé journey was expeditiou and pieasant. Now, although more peoplé want to travel that way than ever, he must take a roundabout course on sjow and inconvenisnt trains and when he finally reaches New Lon- don he will find no boats waiting at the depot dook to convey him to his destination beyond. The old comnec- tion at Willimantic has long since been siven up and the Central Ver. mont road, then known as the New London Northern, which wound its pleasant way along the western bank of the Thames, has fallen inta such a state of decrepitude that its ser- vice cannot be trusted either for punctuality or safety. If one has plen- tv of time, he can take u trolley car from Willimadtic to New London or ‘Westerly, but the service is slow, the ratés aré high and there are no facili- ties for carrying bazgzage. Traflic has literally been forced to the highway and now the majority from upstate who seek New ‘London, and the ad- Jacent ghere places travel by amto- mobile. But even this restricta the travel, for mot everyone can afford an automobile. “We trust that after the war the transportation companies which cover eastern Connecticut will get together and open a direct avenue to the southeastern coast and rastore to the citizens of the state tha breathing piace which is rightfully theirs.” MORE RYE AND WHEAT WANTED FROM STATE 1t farmers, who this year 10,600 acres of rye and of whent—a record for this sked as a militar: ty easc their next rye acre age 1o 16000 and their wheat acrea: to at least 4,000, Federal Food Administrator Robert Scoville, in a recent letter to a Con- necticut farmer, gave some figures and facts which wiil impress farmers | ith the urgent need of the people of o United States, their armies, lied peopis and their armies large sunplies of American wheat.

He is to be paid the lump sum of $503.3 in settlement, and this has been ap- proved by Commissioner I. J. Dono- hue. The break was in the lower part of the thigh and it is found that the fracture has healed but there is an overlap of the bomes of about two inches. It has besn advised that the leg should be broken' over again and reset with the prospect that in six or eight months the lég would be re- stored to normal use, but Doe has| precerred to accept the lump sum in settlement, declining, because of the rain and suffering to go through the operation at- the expense of the com- pany.
