 Trolley Lines of the State

The trolley lines throughout Connec- ticut are to be equipped with standard signal systems. An order recently is- sued by the Connecticut Public tUili- ties Commission at Hartford, ordering all signals to be uniform, has not as yet been transmitted to the local of fees, though served upon the main office in, New Haven. Charles Fl.
 Chapman while unable to state what measures wall be taken to comply with
 the order was imperative and would
 have the immediate attention of signal engineers of the company.
 Theodore B. Ford resident Utilities Commissioner, today stated to a re- porter for the Farmer; that following the number of trolley wreccs which began some months ago at Milford investigation by the commission show
 ed that various forms of signals were
 used in operating the road throughout
 the state, with rules which left much leeway in the hands of minor opera
 tives, rather than under the control of dispatchers from various division terminals.
 tThe trolley roads of Connecticut, as
 far as tracks, equipment and speeds
 are concerned, have been found said the commissioner, ito relatively ap- proximate the condition of steam roads some 20 years ago. While single track lines are equipped generally with ade- q1ate signals, the double track lines are not so well protected. With the 1 increasing and heavier traffic over the
 lines, the signal systems have not pro- gressed in proportion, while many of the cars are of light material. As these are carrying passengers along
 the same lines with much heavier stone and express s-cars, there must be a.
 uniformity to the signals and system lof operation which will preclude such
 terrible accidents as have recently been recorded.
 tewe are not making any recommend l "We are not making any recom-
 mendations as to the type of system which shall be installed, but in sub stance the trolleys must now equip
 themselves for safety as are the rail
 road systems where high speeds are maintained. We have found that in the country the troIleys sometimes run
 at as high speed 40 miles per hour, and it will be plain that there must
 be no haphazard reliance upon the judgment of conductors or motormen
