 Sends Protests
Tells Members of Bay State Legislature Identification in Boston District Would
 Cost $4O,OO0, 900

Boston, June 17.-Protesting against compulsory identification, the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad has sent a circular embody- ing its views to every member of the Legislature. The circular says in part:
 All the identification of the New Haven has been without compulsory legislation. This year it proposes to electrify from Readville on the Bos- ton & Providence, and to Beverly on the Boston & Maine.
 ''E1ectrification of short distances, say ten miles, has never been found at all economical There will be placed upon railroad transportation a very serious charge. which can only be met by increased freight and pas senger rates
 'It is estimated that the cost of identification in this district will amount to approximately S4O.000, 900.
