 Open Trolley Cars Today. Despite the torrential rainfall to- day for some unknown reason the of ficials of the Connecticut company ran open trolley cars on the Berlin 1 New Britain line much to the incon- yenience of the passengers. Hot l criticism and indignation were eX- pressed against the company by all I who had occasion to use the cars. During the early part of the week, l when the weather was extremely l sultry, the company persisted In op- erating closed cars. The line is heav- l fly patronized and it is felt that more Consideration should be shown Y the company.
