THE NEW CAR BARN.

The East End headquarters of the Bridgeport Traction Go. have been done away with and commencing this morning all cars operated on that line started from the lower bridge.
 Saturday evening Superintendent James Butler of the East End divis- ion issued orders to the men to run their cars on the final, trip to the Bar mum avenue stables. which have just been completed. All cars are now istored in the new headquarters and the barns on Stratford avenue will hereafter be used only as a store house.
 The new barns on Barnum avenue are commodious and finely appointed; i; in fact. 1t is claimed that for their size they are as well equipped and up ta< date as any in the country. The transfer will not involve a. radical change in the time table on this di- vision.
 Superintendent Butler and his as- sistants will have handsomely fur nished quarters in the new barn. (The site of the, old car barns on Barnum avenue is now occupied by four hve-story facsory buildings, the property of the Remington-U. M C.. plant. They were erected early this spring.-Ed.)
