ZONE SYSTEM IN EFFECT.
Up to Passenger to Save Money on Short Rides-.Conductors GrumbIe About New Method of Collecting Fare

The new zone system of fare collec- tions on the Putnam division of the Shore Line Electric railroad went into effect this CThursday) morning. For several days past the men have been receiving instructions in their new duties at the Dayville carbarn and when they express themselves regard ing their new duties it is very evident that they do not relish the change. They claim that it is a regular bright hued red tape system and they think they will need a private secretary to keep them straight in their extra penny collections. They also anticipate trou- ble with passengers unfamiliar. with the new rules. If the passenger is going beyond a five cent ride it is up to him to tell the conductor just where he wants to get off, or he may be charged an extra nickel. Two zones are a nickel fare and if a third is en- tered the fare is six cents, if the pas SenSer informs the conductor. If he does not do so at the end of the sec ond zone the conductor will be around again, and instead of collecting an ex- tra penny for a continuous ride of a few blocks the passenger will have to come across with another nickel. To illustrate this: If a passenger north bound from WheatOns farm wants to go to Providence street and so states to the conductor, he will be charged six cents and a duly punched ticket is sued for the ride. If he does not say Providence street, but merely says Putnam. a nickel will be rung up on the register, and this will take him to Putnam center. After the car pass es this point for Providence street, a short ways beyond, the conductor will demand another fare, and it will be a nickel and not penny. So that what would have cost the passenger six cents had he informed the conductor of his destination, in the first place, will cost him ten cents for not giving the information in advance. This is one situat ton where the conductors are anticipating trouble. As far as in creased fares are concerned, there is little grumbling in this section at present.

CONTINUATION TICKETS NOW AVAILABLE.
Now That New Fare System Goes Into
 Effect on Trolley Lines.

The new zone or copper fare system on the local division of the Shore Line Electric railway is expected to become effective today. The original plan was to put it in force Wednesday, but certain hindrances prevented this and the date was moved forward until to- will be in readiness. The coductOrs have received the new equipment and have familiarized themselves with the zone limits on which the charges will be based. The putting of the new scheme into practice has been awaited with interest by both the public and the employees of the company.
 In connection with the change an announcement of special interest is that steady riders over the company s lines will now find communication tickets available. By using these, a person who does much riding over the lines can get a reduction of approx imately one-quarter the regular fare. The books of tickets are good for a month and when in use from day to day by mill employees, agents and many others will mean an important saving. The communication tickets may be used on rides only that amount to ten cents and over. They are not of value for trips costing less than ten cents.
 The company has also arranged for q special form of pupils tickets Many children attending Killingly High school and other schools in Killingiy ride on the cars every day. They have heretofore had a special form of ticket, so providing for them under the new system Is not an innovation.

VISITORS CHANGE STOLEN.
Falmouth Team Members Had S5.5o Taken from Clothing During Game.

There was an unpleasant experience at the high school Tuesday evening, when some person or persons entered the dressing room of the Falmouth basketball team while the game was in progress and collected the loose change from the players clothing. The amount taken was $5.5O. Two young fellows about town, who have shady reputa- tiOns and police court records, were seen near the dressing rooms. The matter was reported to the police, but as the evidence was so meager and the sChooIboys who saw the suspects did not want the notoriety of appear ing as witnesses in court, no arrest was made. The visiting team will be reimbursed for their loss. It is the first occurrence of the kind that ever happened at the school.
