6 CENT TROLLEY
FARE TOMORROW
Effective on Lines of Public
Service Pending Decision by
Utility Commission

Tomorrow morning six cent fares
will go into effect on the lines of the
Public Service Railway Company In
this state.
The recent decision of the Board OF
Public Utility Commissioners that
their original order calling for six
cent fares on April / would stand un-
til a settlement was reached on the
zone system proposed by the company
or at least on the company's applica-
tion for a modification of the six cent
order pending a decision on the zone
system, does away with the seven
cent fare which the company has
charged for the past several months.
The six cent fares will last at least
until April II, when the commission
will renew its hearings on the zono
system.
The company, objecting to the last
ditch against the six cent fare, sud
denly sprung the application for mod
ification at the hearing last week.
They pleaded the necessity for the
larger fare TO remain in force, but IN
the face OF concerted objection by
many OF the 141 municipalities
through which the lines run, the
board finally decided TO allow its
original order TO stand and as a con-
sequence the seven sent fares Will be
shelved for time at least.
Just what action the board will
take after April IA is not known.

To START OCEAN
FLIGHT APRIL Is
British Airmen Plan for Twenty
Hour Flight Across Atlantic
Next Month
By Associated Press.

ID ASSOCsHfcQ II fTeSS.
ST. JOHN. N. s., March 31.-Lieut.
Hawker, pilot, and Commander
Gieve, navigator. of the Sopwith air
plane with which they will attempt an
Atlantic flight next month, arrived
here yesterday and will begin assem-
bling their machine today The air
plane Is expected to be ready for trial
trips by the end of the week and, II
conditions are favorable, the ocean
Hight will be attempted at Z. M,
April 16. The airmen expect to en-
counter only seven hours darkness
and to land in England the next after
noon. They made a twenty four hour
nonstop flight i'm England and are
confident of success.
The flight will be along the track
used by ocean liners although no spec
ial arrangements have been made
with the steamship companies for the
safety of the airmen. III any mishap
should occur they can release petrol
and fill the tank with air to keep the
machine a6oat- They will carry in
fiatrble rubber dresses and a collaps-
ible boat in which they can support
themselves. Their wireless equipment
with a radius OF 700 miles will enable
them to summon help. Substantial
supplies of condensed food will lessen
the intenseness OF possible hardships.
Upon taking the air the wheels will
be dropped from the machine to light
en- the craft although this will involve
landing with a crash on the other
side. Wooden skids will lessen the
shock of the drop.
