Coins
 To Be Used
 (Tl 'Ir()sleyS
To Replace Ticket System With Special Sc Coins
 Orders 650,G00

According to an announcement made at the offices of the Connecti- cut Co. in New Haven, this morning, the company have iuaugurated q new ticket system which will be used in conjunction with the zone fares
 The new system will take the form of coins to be sold in place of tickets now used. They are small metal disc about the size of a dime and will bear the words "COnnecticut of SIX cents on the trolleys and will be sold at all ticket stations at the rate of seventeen for a dollar. This will save the commuter about 2 per cent. on the regular rate.
 The company has already placed an order for 65O,00O of these metal tickets. It was announced that when the zone rates go into effect here all other tickets, with the eN- ception of the school children's, will be void. Conductors will also sell these metal tickets at the regular rate of six cents each.
 The new tickets for the zone fares have arrived in Bridgeport and work ings have been explained.
 Thus for example if a person boards q car on the BearGSLeE Park line there are four zones marked on the ticket which the car will pass through. The passenger is given a ticket when he enters the car which bears the zone number where he en- tered. The conductor keeps a similar stub which will allow him to check back on the ticket. When the passen- ger leaves the car the ticket is torn showing the zone where he leaves He then presents his original ticket to the conductor and pays his fare In case the ticket should be lost he will be required to pay the fare from the starting point to the place where he leaves.
 The principal difficulty promises tc be that the tickets will be torn in any place and may not show just where the passenger got on. Of course the | conductor can check back or the stub: he holds to ascertain the place o. boarding the car by searching for the corresponding number. It is an oper question whether the trolley conduc tor will bother with such a procedure i or whether the passengers will fee inclined to wait until he rummage 1 through a book of stubs during tn, rush hours.
