PAY AS YOU ENTER
 ON HARTFORD LINE
Improvement With Ten Minute Service Under Consideration by
 the Connecticut Company.

Improvements in the service on the Hartford trolley line to include pay as-you-enter cars are being consid- cred by the officials of the Connecticut company. From an authoritative source it was learned today that the trolley company will inaugurate a number of improvements on the Hart -ford line as soon as the double track ing work on Dwight and Jubilee streets is completed. Last year the company completed it's double track work on Chestnut, Stanley and Dwight streets as far as Dwight court and the plans are to continue the work immediately, carrying the double tracking to a point east of Market, where they will join with the double line through Newington.
 The completion of this link will give a complete double track from City Hall, Hartford to the triangle in New Britain and will make possible a big improvement in the inter-city service It is said the company contemplates putting on forty-ton cars, which will be fifteen feet longer than those in present use. They will be of the pay Rs-you-enter type now in use in the Capitol city and instead of a half hourly service with fifteen minute
 
 trips during the rush hours it is pro- posed to inaugurate ten minute all day service.
 This is in line with popular de- l-mand as the Hartford line is now heavily patronized and most of the time standing room only is the rule Superintendent F. L. Beardsley was questioned regarding the proposed changes, but while admitting that inn provements were being considered stated that it was impossible to make a definite announcement at this time The construction gang is now at work 7 on improvements in Berlin in con- nection with the concrete road work being done by the state highway de partment. He said as soon as this work is finished the construction force will be shifted to Dwight and Jubilee streets. Continuation of the semi permanent paving from Dwight cour to the end of Jubilee street is planned in connection with the double tracking of the trolley line.
