TWENTY-FIVE mINUrEs SAVED

MINUTES SAVED
by the New Time Table OF the r. HI.
and w. Road-Everything Work.
Ing Nfcely-Cars to Westv1lle Every |
Ten Minutes and to University |
Place Every Five Minutes.
The new schedule of tho Fair Haven and |
Westville road went into operation yester-
day morning. By the new order of events
the running time is reduced four minutes
all along the line. The important points
in the new time table are these: It takes
twenty minutes to go from Fair Haven to
State and Chapel, and the same from
Westville to State and Chapel. The round
trip to the boat to the steamboat dock from
State and Chapel is made in twenty min
utes. It took twenty-four minutes TO make
the various trips under the old schedule.
On the run from Fair Haven to University
Place, what was known as the six-minute
cars, will from this on be called the FIVE
minute cars. This means that on that Sec
ton of the road cars run every five min
utes now.
By the new schedule the working time
of each conductor and driver on the road
is reduced about two hours, but their pay
remains the same. President Ives said
last evening that the new. schedule was
being run without any hitch of any sort,
which is quite remarkable feature con-
sidering the magnitude of the change. 1t
was quite a novelty to see the rapid rate
at which the cars travelled along the line.
The tardy passenger yesterday found out
to the old adage 'time and tide wait for
xxyif
equal truth to the cars on the Fair Haven
and Westville road. The road has
done away entirely with the old
system of waiting for passenger at any
point, and in accordance with the rules is
sued yesterday to conductors cars will wait
for no one except at street crossings, and
passengers must be in waiting ready to
board the car when it stops. This rule is
imperative and the public will readily un-
derstand that it must be enforced if the
twenty minute schedule of the road is to
be maintained. This rule applies to and
is enforced as much against the officers of
the road as the general public. 1t was
carried out in the case of President
Ives himself last evening. He was
only short distance from the corner of
York and Elm when a car came along but
did not wait for him and he was obliged to
take the next car at the crossing. Numer-
oas complaints had been received at the
office of the company last evening from
patrons of the road to the effect that the
conductors would not wait for them, but
the complainants will get satisfaction
| owing to the fact that explicit instruc-
| tons have been issued to the con-
ductors to wait for no one ex-
cept at the prescribed places. The
change has, however, given great satisfaction
| to the patrons of the road, and will be
even better appreciated as the public get
| more accustomed to it.
The round trip formerly consumed two
| hours and twelve minutes to cover; now
| fifty minutes, q saving of twenty-five
minutes. The residents of Westville will
now have less cause for complaint, as the
cars will leave that section every ten
minutes instead of twenty-four minutes.
The first car in the morning will leave at
6:25 instead of 6:1S, as formerly.
