Derby Cars Express
 to Stratford Center

The Connecticut Co., has decided tu run all Derby cars express to and from Stratford Center, instead of to the Bridgeport city line as at present, as a result of the protests of residents of Shelton, Derby and Paradise Green. Commuters living in these districts protested that Stratford people crowd the cars, leaving nothing but standing room for other patrons of the com- pany and not even that.
 The result has been, the commuters al1ege, that they were subjected to danger of injury by accident because of the car crews running at excessive speed to make up lost time, after fre- quent stops between Paradise Green and this city to let of stratford pas sengers.
