 Representatives of the New Haven road have been measuring the sta tions on the east and west sides and estimating the cost of installing cleo tric lights there The patrons of the road in this vicinity believe that the Fairfield station should discard the old euf-of-date kerosene lanterns and install lights that would be more in keeping with the importance of the station. The company is saving enough money on its force at the sta ton to pay for electric service. The last few years has seen the business of the station increase ten fold with out any increase in thes depot force.
