TROLLEY PATRONS TO
 FIGHT NEW SYSTEM
Matter Will Be Brought to the At- tention of the Public Utilities Com mission in Hartford Today.

Patrons along the trolley line be- tween New London and Willimantic by way of Norwich called on Senator B. H. Hewitt and Representative Charles T. Crandall to confer with them with regardN to the copper zone fare system on this branch of the Shore Line Electric railway, soon to go into effect. Arrangements will be made, if agreeable to the Public Utili- ties commission to take up the ques- tion at the same time that the hear ing on the Groton and Stonington fare increase is continues at Hart ford on Wednesday. It is possible, however, that the Public Utilities Commission, following its previous custom, will not consider complaints from the New London to Willimantic division until after the new system has gone into effect. This, at least, was the manner in which the Groton and Stonington matter was treated. It is evident, however, that there will be opposition to the system in other instances besides the Groton and Stonington and the Norwich and Westerly divisions of the system.
 At the hearing at Hartford before the Public Utilities commission on Wednesday important testimony will who is conducting the case of the patrons of the G. and S., from Thom- as w. Ryley of New Haven, former ly superintendent of the Groton and Stonington. MT. Ryley had been sum- moned for the continuation of the hearing at Poquonoc, but there was not time then to hear all the wit nesses.
 It is anticipated that it will require more than one day to complete the hearing at Hartford, which commences on Wednesday morning.
