TROLLEY DOCTORS BADLY NEEDED BY
 TROLLEY SERVICE
ONE SHOULD BE A SURGEON AND CUT A CHUNK OFF PROF ITS TO BE ADDED TO "OPER- ATING EXPENSES

To make a few cars go further troll ley experts have been called in by the Connecticut company in New Haven. These experts will, it is said, examine the schedules in that city, to see if they can improve them. The experts are men who are extraordinarily com potent in the business of schedule making. One of them it is said, can make two thirds of car go as far as an ordinary trolley manager can make a whole car go.
 It is possible that the trolley doc- tors'' will be sent over to this city, if they succeed in doing something in New Haven to allay the general dis satisfa ction of the public with ser vice that is said to be almost as dis reputable and down at the heels as the service in this city.
 Business men and many others, who have read the press reports stating that consulting physicians have been called in to diagnose the malady of expressing the hope, this morning, that special treatment would be given to the local trolleys, and that surgical as well as medical experts will be call ed in.
 Ii is pretty well understood that the trolley situation in Bridgeport has gone beyond the power of mere medi- cine. No or9linary, or extraordinary schedule changing will make the ser vice tolerable.
 There must be knife for the policy that constantly increases profits, and constantly decreases the number of cars and the quantity of labor em ployed.
 Something must be Topped off profits and devoted to running real trolleys in which the patrons of the road can find seats, heat and speed.

and the way it is done now? Oh
course you still use the scissors, II
you get your wall paper of the mail

at the store is delivered, trimmed
ready for the wall. The merchant
has a machine that does the work in
hurry, does 1t with precision and
dispatch. The work of hours with
the scissors is reelei OF in seconds.
But now comes something still better;
the trimming machine operated by
electric motor, trims one or both
edges, any width paper and at any
speed desired. All the operator does
is to put in the rolls and take them
out and the paper is trimmed In the
twinkling of an eye. One OF these

to change the rate paid for road work
from so cents per hour to 80 cents
per mile in compliance with the
state law. The trustees decided to
have a number of books made by
which they can keep track of the
road work done during the year, in
miles covered, the hours worked and
all other data. This form of keeping
record will be of great value later
and will give the trustees way of
telling what the cost per mile is for
