NEW FARE REGULATION
ON JEWETT CITY LINE
Change Made in 1o-cent Zone Affect
ing Round Hill and Bishop.

The public utilities commission re-
ceived word Tuesday from Jewett City
that the Connecticut company had
made satisfactory arrangement in the
matter of the fares between Jewett
City and Bishop and between the lat
ter place and Plainfeld. This made
unnecessary the holding of the hear
ing on the matter set for Tuesday.
The change referred to went into eff
feet on Monday, and is for the accom-
mediation of local traffic only between
the points named, not affecting
through passengers. Both Round Hill
and Bishop were in the ten cent traffic
zone on the road, so that 1t was a
ten-cent fare from Taftville or Jew
EFT City to Round Hill and between
the other places named. The new reg
ulation makes it a tive-cent fare for
passengers for Round Hill or Bishop.

ment land fund. or that may here
after accrue to said fund, and shall
also include all funds accruing to
any state road and bridge fund.-
however provided.
''The legislature is authorized TO
add to such fund, for the purpose
of constructing or improving roads
and bridges OF this state, by proVld-
ing, in it's discretion, for any an
nual tax levy upon the property OF
this state of not to exceed in any
year one mill on all the taxable
property within the state. Provided
that no county shall receive In any
year more than three (S) per cent
or less than one-half (R) OF one
(1) per cent OF the total fund thus
provided and expended during such
year."
PURPOSE AND EFFECT. The apprO-
val of this amendment will authorize
the Legislature to levy, I'm it's dtscre-
tlOn, a one mill tax upon all the prop
erty OF this state for the benefit OF tine
roads and bridges thereinJ and Will
repeal certain limitations as to the
amount which may be paid by the state
for such roads and bridges.
The present constitution authorizes
the Legislature to add to the road and
bridge fund by providing, I'm it's discre-
ton for an annual tax levy upon the
property of this state not to exceed one
fourth (1ID of one 1) mill, while the
amendment permits the Legislature In
its discretion, to provide for an annual
tax levy OF one az mill on all taxable
property within the state.
The present constitution provides that
in NO case shall more than One-half
(1s) of the cost of constructing or
improving any road or bridge be paid
by tine state from such fund. The
amendment proposes to remove the linz
itatiOn which now exists in the cOnsti-
tuition as to the amount which the state
may pay for such fund towards the
cost of constructing or repairing any
road or bridge and leaves the whole
management OF such fund to be prOvtd-
ed for by law, an the Legislature shall
deem wise.
