UNREASONABLE COMPLAINTS
Increased Trolley Fares a Necessity for the Railway ComPany-OnIy a Few Gents Anyway.

The proposed change of method in assessing fares on the Putnam divi- sion as well as other divisions of the Shore Line Electric Railway continues to be the subject of much discussion in Putnam. Some are inclined to kick against what they consider a plan 10 boost fares and there is some talk of conferences with officials of the rail- way company over the matter, though plans have not taken definite form.
 There are few who will not admit, however, that the traffic over the Put nam division is not sufficiently heavy enough to produce big dividends on the roads investment and many are willing to concede that the road is en- titled, from business standpoint, to the advance proposed. A ride over the whole length of the division, from West Thompson to Central Village will cost only six cents more than at present, and in a number of stretches the fares collected will be less than at present.
