 Opposed to Fares.
 Berlinites are up in arms over the new zone system as there are a large number of them committing daily from here to New Britain. The fare under the new zone system will be twelve cents as against six cents pre- Viously. Some of the residents are agitating for a jitney line between here and New Britain to combat the increase in fares. There are a few jitneys running early in the morning to accommodate early morning work CTS but a daily schedule is wanted. Some go to the extent to say that they, will boycott the trolleys to get the fare down to normal using automobiles and bicycles in the meantime. Some of the local residents work out as far as Hart & Hutchinson's which means more than 6 twelve cent fare on the trolley. Berlin will be one of the first towns to buck the new system if the present opposition is a criterion.
