WHAT THE roM DOESN'T SHOW.

The result OF last weeks poll by the
New York Herald published in the
journal sunday, may be interpreted
rs favorable to the democrats or ia
vorable to the republicans according
to the Views Of the figurer or it
may be interpreted. as the New York
Herald intorprets Il: neck and neck,
and anybody's race at this time.
The whole nation IL watching New
York. The poll shows Wilson gaining
IN the city and Hughes gaining up
state. The party carrying New York
states forty-five electoral votes Will,
almost inevitably, win. Should MI
nois 20 for Wilson, II would be pos
sible for him TO lose New York and
still win. The poll shows that Hughes
is gaining among the men and VIII
son among the women voters OF that
state
Aside from figuring to suit his proj-
udiccs. no man can draw any other
inference from tho polls Of the Herald
than that the rnce for the presidency
is an exceedingly close one, and that
the election will be won and lost dur
ing the present week.
The Journal will publish the Her
AIDS poll and it's only forecast next
Sunday We have no idea at thisI
time what that poll and forecast will
how We are supporting President
Wiau tor o. election. The Hotalds
forecast ma Pc unfavorablo If no,
We shall publish II under just as bag
headlines as II the prediction were
along the lines of oar hope and desire,
No reputable newspaper should do
otherwise mono could do otherwise |
and be true to its readers and the
public,
Wilson should he reelected, but |
O plurality Of the voters Of the -ronn-
try may not be wise enough to see it
In that light. II Is about an even
chance today between the candidates
of the two great parties.
New Mexico Is included I'm the
Hughes estimate by the New York .
Herald's poll The results may show
the inclusion justified, but so far as
we may be able to judge Of the trend
of politics in this state, indications
point to "A majority on election day
favorable 10 Wilson.
This. however, like the vote in the
nation, Is likely to be decided during !
the coming week, The party organ
ization which makos the best finish
will win the election. At this tmo
II looks like the democrats would car
~ the state for president and for a
majority, II not all, of tho state ticket
one week from tomorrow night we
shall know who has won and who has
lost, unless the vote should be so
close, both In state and nation, as to
require practically a count Of the
votes of every precinct before the re-
suits can be known.
You will read the complete election
news In the journal on Wednesday
morning.

 STATE GIVING POOR SERVICE
Public Utilities Commission in Annual Report, Crtczes 'New Haven" Road and Connecticut Company
 for Year Ending June 30, 1916.

Hartford, Dec 8.--The public utili- ties commission has transmitted it's sfth annual report to the governor covering the year ending June 30, 1916. The report contains a general review of the work of the year to- gether with certain recommendation and suggestions and detailed sum maries and analyses of the financial condition of the several classes of companies under it's Jurisdiction A brief abstract of the report follows.
 One hundred and eighty-seven pub lie service companies are under the Jurisdiction of the commission: twen- weight electric. two express, twelve gas, fourteen gas and electric, eight railroad, twenty-four, street railway, three telegraph, ten telephone and efghty-six water companies.
 One hundred and thirty-nine for nal petitions have been heard and orders entered relative thereto, and seventy eight informal complaints ad- justed. Five thousand four hundred and thirty accidents have been report ed to the commission during the year twelve hundred and ten persons were killed, five thousand six hundred and fifteen per8ons injured and there were two hundred and nineteen accidents in which there was no personal in- jury. This is forty-nine more fatal ities and one thousand and two hun dred and seventy mine more persons Injured than were reported during the previous year. Of this number of fa- talities one hundred and fifty-two were on steam railroads and fifty on street railways. Two thousand five hundred and twenty-two persons were Injured on steam railroads, two thou sand and. five hundred and forty -nine in street railways. Two hundred and seven of these accidents were made the subject of special investigation The greatly increased volume of traf- fife both in passenger and freight ser vice during the year caused by the unusual industrial conditions has cor responding1y increased the liability ot accidents of all kinds even with the most careful supervision and intro duction of signals and other device, for the protection of passengers, em. ployees and others. Twelve million more passengers were carried by street railway companies in Connect scut alone during the year than dur ing the previous year. The constant Iy increasing number of automobile crossing the tracks of steam railroad and street railways has also been contributing cause to these accidents
New Britain herald., 1916-12-08

The annual examination of the steam railroads was made in October and November, 1915, and of the street railways in May and June, 1916. Con- plete detailed reports of these exam nations are on file in the office of the commission.
 During the year a uniform system of parking poles has been adopted and satisfactory progress made towards establishing uniform methods for joint use of poles.
 Transportation Problems.
 Freight. passenger and express transportation on the railroads of Connecticut during the past year. was much below the standard of good ser vice. Many passenger trains failed to make schedule time, freight shipments were delayed, and in many instances held back for weeks. by reason of embargoes placed by the railroad companies. When these embargoes were raised from time to time, there resulted group deliveries, in many in- stances involving delays in unloading with consequent demurrage charges. While no embargoes were placed on express shipments, serious delays,  ies were experienced.
 Many elements entered into the causes of this unsatisfactory service, principal of which may be mentioned, an unusual amount of freight and ex- press business, for which the trans portation companies were unprepared, lacking sufficient motive power, freight cars, and track and terminal facilities to handle the large volume of business expeditiously and advan- tageously. Added to this, the scarcity ] or lack of efficient help, and adverse weather conditions, caused congestion and delays. Financial limitations of 1 by that company as among the seri- 1 ous obstacles in overcoming the diff1- cu1ties.
 During the most congested period the commission had frequent confer enees with the railroad officials Daily reports were filed with the commits sion. showing the embargoes placed and the number and actual movement of all freight cars in service.
 There is reason for serious apnre- hension pertaining to railroad trans portation during the coming winter. The railroad companies operatin1 in Connecticut are still unprepared to handle satisfactorily a volume of bus mess equal to that of the previous year, although to a limited extent they fare better equipped.
New Britain herald., 1916-12-08

The New Haven road, which is the largest transportation company in Connecticut, had on hand at the be- ginning of the fall months about 5OO,OO0 tons of coal for it's own use as against practically none the year previous. It has added to it's mo- tive power during the year preceding the date of this report, eighty-one large engines of the Pacific and Mi- kado types, and deliveries on 500 coal cars, ordered in December, 1915, are now being made.
 Most of the freight and express shipments are interstate, subject to the regulation of Federal authorities, but this commission has endeavored as far as possible to assist in bringing g about better service, and has urged the companies to enlarge and inn prove their facilities as rapidly as their financial condition will permit, and to render the best service pos sible with the limited facilities they have. We believe it possible for the New Haven road. with the additional en- zines, cars and track facilities enu- merated to render much better ser vice than maintained during the past year, but this will require most care ful and intelligent operating manage
 ment, more thorough and prompt re- pairs of engines and other rolling stock more loyal and interested CO., operation and support of officials and | employees, and more active and CO.,
 operative interest on the part of ship
 pers and consignees in prom ptly load
 ing and unloading cars
 Street Railway Service.
 Passenger service on electric street
 railways, especially in the large cities l has been inadequate to the reasonable
 needs of the public. The rapid and 1 almost phenomenal growth of some of 1 the industrial centerS created a de-
 mand for additional trolley service
 which the companies were unable to meet, and as a consequence, over l crowded conditions on electric street
 railway cars during rush hours be- came the rule rather than the excep- , ton.
 l During the year ending June 30 1916, the Connecticut company put
 into service ninety-two new double
 truck cars, adapted for summer and winter use. At a conference with the
 officers of this company in the spring
 of 1916. the commission recommend
 ed the immediate placement of an or
 der for 300 additional cars, to be ready for service during the coming winter Subsequently,, on application
 of the Connecticut company, the com mission approved the type of con l struction of 100 additional double
 truck cars. for which an order was 1 placed and which were expected tc 1 be ready for service by the first o1 November but present indications aKe that actual deliveries will be very
 much later The 100 additional cars
 will not be sufficient to remedy the overcrowded conditions, particularly
 during rush hours, but should afford material relief.
