mission are authorized, upon the COM
pletion of the said street railway, to
permit the operation of the street cars
of the Shore, Line Electric railway
over this track and to charge and col
lect an annual rental of 10 per cent.
of the actual cost of construction.
Sec. 3. The sum of 100000 or so
much thereof as may be necessary, is
appropriated to carry out the purposes
of sections 2 and of this act.
Sec, 4. Said track and appuftenances
may become the property of tie Shore
Line Electric company at any time
upon payment to the state of the cost
of construction less a suitable amount
for depreciation.
Sec, 5, This act shall take effect
upon its passage. and the highway
commissioner is directed to proceed
with the construction of this street
railway forthwith
Senator Fox of New London made
the opening when hearing was reached
ON the act directing the highway com
missioner to construct trolley tracks in
connection with the state bridge high
way. The bill specifies that 10 per
cent. of cost of construction be paid
by the committee, and is therefore an
investment. The trolley company had
notified the commission that it was
unable 10 pay for the work of con-
struction.
President Perkins had said he would
have to sharpen his pencil to figure
out a problem whereby the company
could enter into a contract to pay II
per cent. He said the tracks should be
laid before the approaches are con-
structed with concrete, and he stated
positively that the company could not
build the approach, ought to save a
little margin of profit to the company
for operation over the bridge Highway
With a s per cent. payment to the
state, the company might break even
Highway Commissioner Bennett said
) per cent. was for use of the money
and per cent. for yearly depreciation
AS to the necessity, at the present time
the highway road could be constructed
without the trolley. There was al
actual local need for trolley connection
over the bridge, but 1t might, be de-
ferred.
Senator Hemenway could not see
any sense in having the 10 per cent
in the bill when there was no chance
for payment

GRAPHIC AND ROMANTIC STORY
OF Big BLlMP'S VOYAGE ACROSS
BY CRAFTS OFFICIAL OBSERVER

Mineola. N. Y, July 6-Not in the
record of miles covered is to be
found the real romance of the R-34's
voyage to America. The full story
Of this great adventure. this gamble
against the elements. is revealed
only through the human. incidents of
the trip, chronicled in the for:.. of a
log by Brigadier Gen. Edward NJ.
Maitland, official observer fer the
British Air Ministry.
This story-a Jules Verne tale
come true-was written whilo the
giant dirigible was leaving the
ground at East Fortune, while 1T
was passing out of sight Of land,
while it was battling it's way across
the Atlantic and eluding electrical
storms in the northland, while It
slipped safely down the shore line
of Long Island to its anchorage at
Mineola.
1t is a very simple story, set down
in simple words, unaffected L. style.

was sent from here yesterday to the
assistance of the RIA. picked up the

were put into action. These medi-

At 11.30. when the destroyers' ra-
dio picked up another message from
the airship, a comparison of posi-
tions showed the dirigible to be d.
rectly overhead. When the R-34
asked for rocket or flare signals the
officers Of the destroyer were at loss
how to respond. But in few min

contrived "blinker" by utilizing a
suit box filled with incandescent
lights. Flare signals from the air.

stroyer but later radio messages said
that the "blinkers'' signals had been
received.
The destroyer's radio set improved
after midnight and the air and water
craft were in constant communica-
ton until 4.30 A. M. when the R-34
lowered over Chatham. For the
greater part Of the way from Var
mouth to Chatham, the dirigible
maintained an average speed rs
