WANT FIVE CENT FARE
Patrons Think They Pay Too Much For Ride
 to Rubber Town

Because of the number riding on the cars daily between Naugatuck and Wa terbury, many are of the opinion that a 5-cent fare should be advocated once more. Since the cars first ran to the Rubber city there has always been much dissatisfaction over the fact that the cost for the trip was dime and, although at different times much has been said on the subject. no definite action was ever taken. If Is the opin- ion of all fair-minded people that the fare of 10 cents Is rather steep for the five miles between the burg and this city. Because of the increasing pas senger traffic the trolley is making big profits and the Naugatuck as well as the Brass city residents think that the time is ripe for 5-cent fare,
 A prominent Naugatuck man while fin Waterbury during the week, speak ing on the subject. said that he thought the Connecticut Railway and Lighting Co directors would give the matter some consideration if 1t was brought to their attention. "If petition was started in our city and also sent around in Waterbury. and if the city officials did all in their power tO have the fare changed. there might he I possible chance in getting that which would be of much benefit to the resi- dents of both towns. especially tO the people who are compelled to use the trolley each day to go and come from work. If the concern lid not for the present care to make the change. the least 1t coul.l do would be to give the working people the privilege of a 5- cent fare. This could he easily done. and although it would seem that this system would he overwOrkesl. still 1t couId be brought about so that there wouh be no harm done to anyone.

The women doctors are usually old with

the quack doctors of Brittany commonly use
