TROLLEY co. MUST
 INCREASE INCOME
Storrs Says Public Must Pay to
 Keep System Going

New Haven, Nov 10.--Thc meet ing Of tho New Haven Community Forum was addressed last night by 1-ucus s. Storrs president Of the Connecticut company, on "Strcct Hallway Transportation and the Community" Mr Storrs' talk was short and dealt with the problem of Increased fares. He told the audi ence that the transportation problem is not peculiar to New Haven.
 5000 Miles Under Rcccivcrship.
 Eight thousand miles of street rail- way m this country are under rcceiv- ershlp, and if the public needs trans- portation it. must pay for 1t. The principal reason for the poor ffnan- cial condition of the railways is tho abnormal cost of everything which enters into the upkccp of the roads. The public now, as cOntraStcu wit h the old horsc-car days demands more comfortable cars, better tracks, bet ter power houses and better equip ment throughout. These cannot be financed from the revenue derived from the plants. The cost of material which enters into the maintenance Of the plant is more. The price of coal and labor has gone up. The price Of labor has increased 62 per cent. In over 100 cities. he said, fares have increased from six even to ten cents.
 Connecticut Roads in Trouble.
 All the street railways in Connecti- cut, except one which has an income from it's lighting system. and the Connecticut company, are in the hands of receivers. Paving and rail renewals cost in ordinary times $1,- 0OO,O00 year, and the company is required to pay onc-third the cost of construction of bridges. The bridge over the Housatonic river will cost $4O0.0O0 alone. The road has paid no dividends for years, and no taxes for two years, and it has paid for very little paving required of it. All the revenue has gone into the oper- ation of the cars.
 Is Public's Problem.
 The transportation problem, he said, is as much the public's as it is the company's, and it is up to the community to determine whether it shall continue the trolleys or not. The zone system was agreed by op- ponents. even, of tho trolley com pany at the hearings in Hartford, to be tho fairest means of securing rev enuo. and all that Is needed for it's success is the support of the public. In Providence the original e-cent fare zone has been increased 10 a 26- cent fare. In Boston passengers pay a ten-cent fare in addition to d $4, 0O0000 tax, as d result of the public l ownership plan. Tn Brooklyn, where ! the roads went into the hands of q 1 receivership. they arc split up into 1 three independent lines, and three in- 1 dependent fares arc required where l one formerly sufflced.
 If the utility is to continue it must | be allowed to earn enough money on l the value of the property to reCoG- 1 nize n return on the investment. and | the decision rests with tho commit l nifty as to what the result will be.

VALUES
 FOR ASSESSMENTS
New System Being Worked Out
 by Board Of Assessors

That assessments on city property will in the future be fixed uccordinl; to an equitable valuation is the plan of the New Britain board of nasnsao rS. For thiS purpose they hnTC secured an expert from West Hartford who has been working on d new system of valuations slnCo this fnll. His nnme iH Thomas Under md he is h gradu- ate of Harvard colIcEo. Ho has been connected with production cost and purchasing work for the Pope Man ufacturinE company His sDccialtics arc public utilities engineering. fire 1nsllranc0 engineering and water works construction. Just previous to coming hero he WAS secretnry to tho assessm ent commission at West Hart = ford where 1hc system he will estab- lish hore has beon put into use. MT. Hinder expects to havo the syst em ready by October 1920. This system in fairness 10 all concerned, will not be put into practice until 1921, how ever.
 Valuations are determined by a collection of datL from both land and houses visited. Buildings in nt least half of the city have been visited while inc assessors arc now awaiting TOT maps on the !anu "Ork. Ine6c maps are being made by the city en- glneering department.
 The plan for house valuations is something like this: Each houso is visited and definite data Is gathered on q card aS to construction, heat, age, interior t1npl ovemcnts, and the number of rooms ard families. From this data is figured q reproduction cost. The assessment ts based from that, allowing deduction for ago and obsolescence. Land is valued by com putting it's frontage prOrated by its depth The new schedule of Valua- tons will bo used in computing the grand list of 1920. In October of that year sworn property lists will bo handed in to the assessors ana from these the grand list will be prepared. This will bo ready for tho public January i 1921.
 Tho mon assisting MT. IAinder on tho work are: J. k. Dunn. David Elliason, Donald Mckay Bell and Irving Ellis. All are ex-service men and wero before their enlistme ents an engineer, nowEpaperman, automobile salesman and letter carrier.

OFFICERS NAB AUTO AND
BIG QUANTITY OF BOOZE

Last Tuesday Sheriff Athay and
Chief Of Police Hitler located about
fourteen cases OF perfectly good
booze which had been cached a
couple of miles north Of town. The
booze was the property OF three men
who were taking it from Kemmerer
to Soda Springs and other points In
Bannock county. The frst clue that
led to the discovery OF the booze was
disabled auto, which was found
just at the south edge OF town on
Monday. When closely examined by
the officers there was q strong smell
of booze about the car which bore q
Wyoming number. When the ctkF
broke down some time Sunday night,
the men hired some one to convey the
booze to the point. where Il was
found by the officers. Monday morn

there to come after the booze in q car.
When he returned to Montpelier
Tuesday night on No. he was taken
into. custody by the officers. He ad-
mitted that he was an occupant OF
the booze laden car when Il broke
down, but denied having q financial
interest in the booze. He gave this
officers the names OF the other two
men and said the car belonged tC

yet been apprehended.
The car has been confiscated by the

FHsH HAVEN NOTES.

Fiah Haven. Jan. s.-The IA att

shape. Every home will be released
from quarantine today. except one
and it Is not yet certain that the
members Of this family have the dis
ease. There has been good deal Of
excitement In the neighboring towns
over the influenza situation here.
Some OF the towns have gone 30 far
as to forbid any one from here going
into their villages. even to get a load
of hay. Others have called over the
phone to ask when certain parties
died and when they would be buried.
Still others state they were told that
there were S5 families Guaranteed
and each family had an average Of
four down with the dread disease.
Now the facts Of the matter are. we
never had but eight families under
quarantine with 81 cases of colds and
influenza. There were only four OF
ave OF this number who were ct all
bad. While we think that people can
not be too careful about exposing
themselves to the influenza, still we
! 10 not see the use OF throw .nE thC
whole county into n panic Just for
the fun there is in It." and Il would
be a good idea for ether towns 70
call up some one IN Fiah Haven and
