 Owing to trick played by some one in Rockville Thursday. the. game between the West Ends of Willinantic and the Rockville eleven was called off. In the morning of that day some one called the manager of the West Ends by telephone and told him that i the game would have to be called off. Later in the day he received another l call from the place asking why his | eleven had failed to show up. The mystery was cleared up to the satis- | faction of both managers and it was decided to play the game Sunday Nov. t.30 at Rockville. l Chief of Poiice Daniel ]. Kiliourey has assigned the beats of the local po- ! lieemen for December as felows: Off, lcer Grady, Sodom; Officer Pauhus, Jackson street; Officer Enander, upper Main street; Officer Leahy, center Main street; and Officer Mclean, day duty.
 Members of the WiIlimanaic Cham Der of Commerce and several citizens Eof this city who are interested in the l %v-sA1 s,tAt n try line gathered at the Chamber of Commerce rooms Friday night to ask questions about the change to be made in the running schedule of that line
 J. H. Cain. superintendent of traffic on the Shore Line Electric railroad, was present and answered whatever ques- Etions the members of the c. of c. ask i ed him. He told of the schedule that
 had been proposed. This schedule follows: First car to leave the South T Coventry barn at 5.25 and from time q until 9.15 it would make regular trips i between Willimantic and South, Gov
 entry. At 9.15 the trolley would leave
 Willimantic and go as far as the cal las the carbarn where it would remain
 until 12 noon. At 12.15 the trolley would leave Wiliimantic and continue
 until the 2.15 trip from Willimantie when it would only go to the barn The next trip would leave WillimantiS lat 415 in the afternoon and run unti ,t7.15 when the car will go only to ths cur barn. It was felt that this sched . ule could be carried out by one crew
 where two are needed at present
 However the merchants of WilIimantit and the residents of South Coventry feel that this schedule will not bt sufficient and as many of the Soutf Il Co., 1., ks in the evening to do shopping or to at tend the theatres their means of re- turning to their homes has been GU : off.
 MT. Cain in stating the case of tn, Shore Line Company told that .ath, line had never been a paying prVbo sition and the change was made fl : the schedule because of this. In prov inN his statement he read figures O earnings on that line in the week 0 November to 14 inclusive. Thest earnings totaHed s33s.5S. During tha
 time the trolley had been operated l 17S6.S3 gar miles which when divided
 into the money taken in made tn,
 canning per car mile. 19 cents. During the same period of time expenses O.
 s45117 had to be met and this did no
 include some of the overhead expense
 This amount divided by the car mile! run showed the expense to be. 25. cents per car mile, which made a los.
 'f S.2 cents per car mile run during
 lat time.
 The new schedule calls for 1S l..
 ours work from the South rGoventr!
 'i,cw and as men cannot work over Il
 hours per day it will be impossible tt
 change the schedule that way. Sug.
 gcstions from the members of th'
 chamber were noted and possibly somt
 changes that will prove beneficial tt
 the people in South Coventry can bt
 made without causing the men to wori
 over the hours already allotted then
 to work.
