Supt. Beardsley Declares Electrics Will Not Be Operated At Loss to Com- pany-Pleased With New Zone System.

''Should the residents of Berlin and vicinity pat1'onize or in any way help the Berlin jitney company, which was recently formed, and it is a success the Connecticut company may be obliged to withdraw all cars from the Berlin line" was the statement made this morning by Manager Frank l.. Beardsley. of the local offices of the Connecticut company.
 Line Never Paid We'll.
 The Berlin line. from the depot o Berlin street. has never paid even for the expenses of the trip, and with the present high cost of operating the trolleys, and labor conditions. the rate fixed on that road is not exhorbi- tant by any means" he added. The public has been riding for a little or nothing long enough, and, with tho establishing of the zone system every man is getting his moneys worth. while by the previous system one could ride as much as 10 miles for six cents.' he said.
 Pleased With New System.
 The zone system is working as well as can be expected and it will be but a short time before the en- ployes have things down to perfec-
 
 good trolley service as anywhere in the state.' he added. MT. Beardsley also remarked that the fares on lo- cal lines have been the lowest in the state, and he could not see how the company kept the trolleys in opera ton as long as it did on the six cent basis. If the public co-operates with the company in making this sys- tenn a success, the service will be bet tered on all lines and there will be no fault to flnd.' he asserted.
 Funds Being Raised. The committee in charge of the proposition of raising funds for the purchasing of the proposed iitney bus, reports that subscriptions have been received and many shares Of stock sold. The campaign to gain stockholders will be made during the ensuing week. Harry Edelson, presi- dent of the jitnoy company. asserted this morning that he will keep up the drive for stockholders in the con- pany, despite the decision made by Manager Beardsley.
