S ported, but failed.
 Zone System Improving.
 There was a noticeable imprOVem ent t in the working of the zone system this morning on the Berlin lines, all tho cars running close to regular schedule. People are beginning to get onto the new system and are cooperating with the crews to expedite the service. It is anticipated, however, that there will be flaws in the new system which can only be discovered by actual op- eration of the system through the course of weeks.
 Jitncy Service to Begin.
 It was stated yesterday that a jitncy service between Berlin street and New Britain center is to be instituted with in a few days. The new jitneys will be twelve seated buses to be run by New Britain parties through the win ter. The fare will be 10 cents, which is a saving of two cents over the pres ent cost The jitneys will pick up pat ronS at the regular trolley stops The fare from KCnsington at Upson's cor ner will be 6 cents on the jitney, the same as it was under the old system.
 There has been some criticism of a jitney route being established it IS feared that the Connecticut company would retaliate by discontinuing the service to Berlin, which would be needed in the middle of winter when the snow might prevent jitneys from running. It was also pointed out that the jtneys would not give 20 minute service as is being received at the present time.
