aMoToRMEN OPPOSE BILL
OF SENATOR HAMMOND.
Provides for Dimming of searchIisE,ts
on Electric Cars.
Especial to The Bulletin. )

Especial TO In6 BulleL1n.)
Hartford, April 19--Senator George
A. Hammond OF Putnam appeared be-
fore the committee on railroads Tues
day afternoon in favor of a bill pro-
viding for the dimming of searchliShts
on trolley cars when the cars are
meeting any vehicle on the highways
of the state. The bill in effect would
provide that a penalty of 81 be imposed
on the company operating the road for
violating its provisions.
Others heard in favor were ex-Rep-
resentative John A. Dady, A. P. Rich,
all Of Putnam
Should Apply to Autos.
The opposition to the bill developed
the idea that if such. a law as suggest
ed is passed it should apply to auto
mobile as we'll as trolley car lights. 1t
was stated to the committee that the
Connecticut company now has a rule
providing that motor1nen shall dim
their headlights when meeting a team
or automobile.
Motorman Leonard Opposed:
Among the motormen who appeared
in opposition to the bill was G. w.
Leonard of Norwich. who said he did
not believe there was any necessity for
such a law as is proposed. He be-
lieved the officials of the company were
ble of providing for the care of the
matter without having a law.
Mayor Dunn Opposes 1t.
Mayor Dunn of Willimantic said he
was opposed to the bill. believing that
it would work a hardship on both en-
ployer and employe He said it had
been his experience that the motor
men were very considerate as to dim
ming headlights. He. thought that If
there was such law it should apply
also to automobile headlights. He be-
lieved that the motOrmen do the best
they can and there would be no adj
vantage in the passage of such law.
Representative Chandler Against 1t.
Another heard in opposition was
Representative George B. Chandler of
Rocky Hill. He thought that the
unanimous opposition of the trolley
employees, as heard by the committee,
should carry much weight, as they
were perfectly familiar with the mat
ter under discussion and had no rea-
son to be other than honest in opposing
it.
He said the proposed law was a re-
f1ection of the craze to regulate every
thing, even minute matters of relative
unimportance. Passing the bill would
b egoing beyond the bounds of sane
legislation.
Company Invites Complaints.
Attorney Robinson. representing the
Connecticut company, stated to the
committee that the company invited
complaints as to failure of motormen
to dim searchlights when meeting a
vehicle, in accordance with the COM
pany's rule, which rule it Is desired
should be known of by all of the people
of Connecticut. but he did not believe
it would be wise to pass the measure
proposed.
Motormen from every section of the
state opposed the bill.
