SHORE LINE ELECTRIC CARS
 TO MASSACHUSETTS LINE (Saecisl 10 Tho R.I11etinl

Putnam, Sept. 15.-PutRam business interests will be decidedly cheered this morning over the fact that trolley cars. beginning today. will run straight through to the Massachusetts line, instead of ending their run at West Thompson, where for years they have met cars operated out of Web ster by the Worcester Consolidated road. Since the new crews began to operate on this line the union crews running the cars from Webster refused to take them further south than Gresvenordale. thus leaving a break in the service which had te be filled in by jitney buses and resulted in di- vertiug to Webster much business that would come to Putnam from the Gros- renordales. Supt. J. H. Cain anpounc- ed Sunday afternoon that a change for which Putnam business men have been contending for years will be put 'fnfo effect today and that the object is to improve the service for Putnam adn the people of the Crosvenordales aHd other places in Thompson.
 The Massachusetts cars will no longer come into Connecticut. The Shore Line cars will run all the way to the Massa achusetts line.
