Two applications presented in_ the superior court at New London Friday ? by Receiver Robert W. Per- kins of the Shore Line Blectric rail- | way were heard and granted by Judge John P. Kellogg, but the judge de- clined fo hear an application for an order to authorize the receiver to abandon and sell certain sections, of the road which the receiver claims cannot be operated except at a loss. Judge Kellogg ruled that the towns to be affected by the witidrawal of the troley lines Should be given op- the hearing, he declined to hold Friday. Permission it " was ‘granted to the re- Judge Keliogg passed an order approving the account of the receiver showing results of business from January 1 to February 1. The sections of the road which Re- ceiver Perkins; asked authority to abandon include all the trackage in the southern part of the state from New Haven to Saybrook, thence to Chester; the line from Guilford Green to Stdny Creek;” the lirie from Say- brook to Klanders Corners and the line from Paweatuck to the Hallville car station. The line in. which he was granted permission to sell the equity runs from Groton to Westerly with a branch line from Mystic to Old Mys- tie, Attorney Benjamin H. Hewitt of Mystic appearing "4s a friend of the court, opposed the petitions of the receiver for the sale of the equity of the Groton and Stonington line while Attorney Hadlai A. Hull of New Lon- don aiso interjected some opposition to_the applications. When the applications were called up for a hearing, Attorney Hewitt ob- jected on the grounds that permis- sion to abandon the lines would be taking the arteries through which runs the life blood of the community away from the communities and he saw an attempt on the part of the recelver and his. attorneys to speed- ily and quietly- get permission for The early part of the evening was for the class members and included #everal solo dances that were en. thusiastically applauded.

Attorney E. Day for the receiver, declared the feceiver was facing a serious problem in the operation of the road, in that the road was being run at a continual loss and_while “the Jines may be the arteries through which the life blood rums, there is no blood.” He denied that there was any attempt on the part of the re- ceivers or attorneys to forestall in any way anybody from being heard. No Notice Given to Towns Judge Kellogg stated that the towns through which the lines which the recelver seeks to abandon have had no notice and no opportunity td.Be heard. He considered the matter of 00 much importance to be dealt, with on such notice. He also refused to consider. the matter at all this session, because there is no time. He stated that the remainder of the court ses- sion is taken up and the matter prol ably would _develop into a lengthy hearing that he would be un- able fo stay to conduct it. | Attorneys Day and Charles B. Whit- tlesey, representing the United States Trust Co. of New York and others, urged the court: ta hear the applic: tions for authority to_ sell the equity in the Groton and Stonington line and the freight house, freight car and passenger cars. It was pointed out that unless something .was done be- fore. April 1 to sell the equity in the Groton and Stonington line, the mort- gages on the lines would be foreclos- ed and that the receiver now had an opnortunity to sell the freight house, and freight car and .passenger cars which would be of no use to the company after the Connecticut .Co. took hold. Attorney Hewitt declared that -he saw no difference between the avowed proposal to.abandon the lines and sell them for - and tho solline off the equity to some one who would dis- . the kne, If uld be no the line would be Tun. “The receiver declares he is unable to operate the lines without money”, said Attorney Hull “won't it be just as hazd to run the road if he sold Eoncerning the sale of the freight house, Attorney Whittlesey stated that the receiver had had an offer for it for $20,000 over the purohase price, that the fressht car was ome Which had never been used and that the four passenger cars were cars which were not_adopted for the road. Judge Kellogg agreed to hear the applications for authority to sell the freight house in this city, the freight car and the passenger cafs and the equity in the Groton and Stonington | Hne, Receiver Perkins Testifies. Mr. Perkins was - questioned first regarding the freight house, freight cars and passenger cars. He said that the freight house in Water street was first bought by the Storage and Leas- ing Co. controiled by the Shore Line in 1914 tp e used for storage pur- pises. In 1916 the Shere Line Co, bought Tt for $43,000 with a mort=uge of_$35.000. He tesdlfied that the Shore Line Electric Railway Co. does not own the New London lines, which it leased from the Connecticut company and he was granted permission to abandon the lease so that when the Conmecticut company takes over the local lines, there will be no. phy- sical conmections with the freight house and it would be of no use to the company. Mr. Perkins stated that he had an offer of $65000 for the property subject to the real estate agent's commission. He thought that an excellent price for the property and, he had been unablé to Fcure anything anywhere near approximate- ing- that figure. He expressed the opinion that selling the property would be a ‘benefit to the company. Yir. Perkins said that he had inquir- ed of the Connecticut company if it would want the freight house and he hadbeen informed that it would not. Receiver Perkins said that the Shore Line . Flectric - Raitway - Co. bought the freight car which it ‘wants 0 sell in 1918, to be used for frefght purposes on the lines north of Nor- wich and it was never used. That car and another car of simifar type cost $23,000. The usual commission - for sale 6f cavs is ten per cent. but he had had an offer direct from a com- pany in Cleveland for $11,000. The' four passenger cars, he testi- fied, are too heavy for traffic on the lines and were used very little. - He has had an offer of '$1.000 each for the ears. Attornev Hull wanted to know if tha freight house wasn't rented and if it was not a source of reventie. to wlhich Receiver Perkins replied that it was the source of some revenue, He sAld that when it was bought ¥ had been hopsd to develope a freight business which would be a source of real revenue but the automobile had it. The appfication was Groton and Stonington Line. Regefver Perkins then testified re- garding the Groton and - Stonington line, He said that thefe was = 20.7 miles of trackage from Groton _to! Westerly ahd between tHreé and four miles on the Old Mystic branch. Both lines had ‘mortgages of $475,000. Re- ceiver Perkins said that the were losing’ money and that there been a loss of several thousand d lars since the -beginning of the re- ceivership.’ While he had no figurés available as yet, February would show an unusually large loss, because of the weather and the expense incurred in_fighting snow and ice. Receizer Perkins thought there was somg equity in the line which can be operated at a_ profit, however. He was of the opinion that if some one bought the road and reorganized it, it could be operated to advantage. He believes it can be sold and that a purchaser can be found. He said that it permission were not given to sell the equity, the equity of the Shore Line Co. would be wiped out by the foreclosure of the mort- gage and mo bemefit would acrue to the company. Has Possible Purchasers Tn answer to an inquiry from At- torney Hull, Réceiver Perkins said that he had two groups of people in view who mighi buy the line. Attorney Hewltt wanted to know how the road could be operated with- out rolling stock and if Tt ‘were fiot true that one haif of the rolling stock of the company did not consist of open cars, which were not used. The witness declared that they were used. “Not on_the regular schedules” said Attorney Hewitt. Receiver Perkins declared that “ it was possible to run the road with the property which the company had in 1916, Attorney Hewitt inquired if the road had everything necessary to operate the road, including power houses, and the witness replied that it had. Attorney -Hewitt asked if Receiver ®wrkins had changed his_mind about the advantage of operating the line with other “cats and dogs’, to which Mr. Perkins replied that Mr. Plant thought it advantageous to operate the Wmes in conjunctfon with other lines but he (Mr. Perkins) now hough that it would be best to run it as an intra state line instead of com- necting it with an interstate line. Attorney Day declared that the proposed action was the only way to continue operating the road; the omly way is to get new blood and new money and this could only be aceom- plished in the manner proposed. He asserted that the receiver can’t con- tinue operating the road with the present heavy losses. Attorney Hewitt doubted if the court was the proper place to go to for a_discontinuance if the road. He thought that permission would have to be sought from the legislature and he quated several authorities. He said that he had no objections to the receiver negotiating for the sale of the line. His only interest was the protection of the public by a ~ontinu- ance_of operation of the road. Judge Kellogg granted- the recely- er authority to sell the equity in the line subject 16 the approval of the court. - Receiver Perkins then presented his acciunt fem Jahuary 1 o February 1 which shbwed a loss of $9,853.26 for the month and a total loss of $39,- 680.28 during the five months of re- ceivershi THE EASTER SHOE STYLES— COLORS, CUT AND PRICES Looking over the Spring shoe styles in the stores, one finds that dark tans are leaders for Baster wear. These ele- gant shoes come with both military and Louis heels. Later in the season, of course, pumps and Oxfords will be worn; but just at present interest centers.in the smart high boots for early Spring demand. Foremost among the season’s novél- ties are the new omejand two-eyelet ties, ribbon of medium width being employed as proper fastening. While two-toned high boots are still shown, the solid tan has the prefer- ence. 'The pointed toe continues good, and the best call is for the Cuban heel, which is about one and one-Half inches. Some short French vamps are displayed. Also there will be a limited number of grey shoes worn. The height of the propér boots is nine inches. J Black kid and patent léather pumps will find favor, also those in brown kid. Pumps appear_in two leading styles, Colonial, with beaded buckle or those of imitation cut steel, and plain. Oxfords are shown largely with the military and Cuban heel, dressy Ox- fords having the Louis Cuban heel. Black kid and patent leather are developed in the one and two-eyelet types. Cuban heels and a pointed toe without the tip characterize these ish types of footwear. to prices, pumps range from $6 to $12, Oxfords the same. while high boots aré marked from $3 to $15. No woman needs o be told the im- portance of proper and stylish shoes in rounding out 4 smart street toilette.

BUILDING TRADE WORKERS WANT WAGES READJUSTED A satisfactory wage re-adjust- ment between the building trades and the master builders has not been reached although it is expected that the matter between the carpenters and masons and master builders will | S be amicably settled scon. At a meet- ing of the master builders on Thurs- day ‘evening the matler was giscussed and a committec appointed to con- fer with the building trades regard- | ing the adjustment, 1t is sa'd that the laborers or pick nud -hovel men are the ones that sre holding up the settlement as they demand a fifty per cent. increase and are now paid even, higher wages in_proportion to amount of work they do than the oth- er trades. The carpenters some time ago pre- sented a request tq the master build- |- ers asking from 31 per hotr which is an increase of 35 cents per hour for the carpenter recelving the minimum wage. The masons do not fequest an increase but the laborers want a fif- ty per cent. increase. They are mow getting fifty cents an hour and they demang 75 cents per hour. It is ex- pected that the matter will be ad- Jjusted next week. Tl request stated that April 1 was the time that the desired increase should become effective.
