ant to guard against the selling out OF

to remove all obstacles TO the rapid

ground upon which the interests OF the
state and railroads can stand side by

Clearly 1t is the duty OF all concerned
to reach such a position. Individual

TIME NOT YET RIPE

For Change in Running Time Between
 New York and Boston, Says Mir Mel
 len.
 That five-hour trains on the Shore Line between New York and Boston at the regular fare are not contemplated, but that the summer of 1908 may see the running time of tue limited trains between those two points cut to four hours and a half instead of five hours, is the gist of statement given out by President Mellen. of the New Haven , road.
 President Mellen's announcement came as a refutation of news dis patch from Boston a few days ago in which the impression was conveyed that faster time would be given Shore Line passengers without the extra fare ' charged on the Mayflower, Bay State and Knickerbocker limited. So radical a change in the service is not included I in the plans of the New Haven system and the present rates and running time VII pe iualHt1lhOu TUT at AVeSL duOtilSf year.
 We have no intention at present" said President Mellen, "of running any five-hour trains at the regular rate of fare"
 | In promising increased speed for lim- ited trains for Shore Line flyers cov- ering 25S miles from Boston to New York in four and one-half hours, Presi- dent Mellen said
 Four and one-half-hour time is not, however, believed to be practicable now; the Connecticut river bridge Is not ready for trains, widening the road bed through New Haven is in progress and other permanent improvements af- fecting speed are unfinished Until the work between Providence and New York is completed the timetable men will not be asked to cut half an hour from the schedule of the limited trains
 As to four and one-half-hour trains President Mellen continued i've cannot say very much before the completion of the bridges and other improvements which are essential to faster time. Twelve months from now will be better time for taking up the question of four and one-half-hour trains"
 According to this prediction, the sum- mer time table of 1908 may show an in crease in the average speed of limited trains from 46 3-5 to 51.77 miles an hour on the Shore Line,
