Tn order to more strictly enforce and maintain the embargo on the troll ley car passengers during the prev alence of smallpox in Montville, the town authorities have found it neces- sary to procure the aid of constables who are doing duty on all the trolley cars between Quaker Hill and Trading Cove turnout. Besides Constables Charles Johnson, Roscoe Dart and Michael Hickey five toWnsmen have been sworn in as special officers.
 This has become necessary since the issuing of the quarantine passes aI- lowing people who have passed a med tcal inspection to leave and come into the town. When the embargo was originally placed in force prohibiting the trolleys, from taking on or letting off passengers between Quaker Hill and Trading Cove, which necessitated their running through Montville with out stopping, there was no difficulty With the issuing of the quarantine passes, trouble started.

To pre- vent this the town constables were placed on duty on the cars immedi- ately and later the five special officers were sworn in. The health authorities
