Will Buy No More
Open Trolley Cars
For Bridgeport Lines

Manager G. H. Chapman of the
Connecticut Co. has announced that
no more open cars will be purchased
for use on the Bridgeport division. The
company has 90 of this type of car
which are being put in shape for the
coming summer season but as fast as
they become worn beyond repair these
cars will be replaced by the pay-as-
you-enter type. Manager Chapman
said the reason for the decision to
purchase no more open cars was the
narrowness of Bridgeport streets and
the difficulty of maintaining running
schedules.
He said because of traffic conges-
ton it is frequently necessary for car
crews to aIight and raise the running.
board in order to pass a standing
vehicle. He said the open cars take
up more room and are harder to han
die, that passengers insist on riding
on the running boards and in jumping
off when the car is in motion. An
other reason for doing away with
open cars is the difficulty in collect
ing fares. During rush hours the
conductors have to climb over pass
engers on the crowded running boards.
In the pay-as-you-enter cars this is
eliminated. There is also no danger
of any one leaving the car before it
has stopped.

Affections and actions of no two

not feel much of love for either Of

year or so he may be on the top round
of prosperity. Deep liking is what
