"Since the matter has been brought up,h said President George l.. Padgett of the Putnam Chamber of Commerce, st a meeting of the Eastern Connecti- cut Chamber of Commerce held in the Putnam Inn, Thursday afternoon, "I wish to say that while it is conceded that the trolley company waa entitled to some increase in fares l do not think that they were entitled to 50 per cent. 1 think Putnam has been dis eliminated against. If 1 ride from home to Bugbee corner 1 pay one fare. If wish to go another block to my rlace of business 1 have to pay another fare. In Norwich and New London one can ride anywhere in the city for 8 single fare"
