Trol]eys In TheLead By
 ll2 To 70
Remarks of the Voters Are Becoming Bitter Toward
 the Jitneys.

The trolleys took an awful slam out or the jitneys in the Bridgeport Times preference vote today. When the votes were counted this morning the total was 112 for the trolleys and 70 for the jitneys. Besides that the re- marks of those who sent their coupons are getting more bitter toward the jit- ney service.
 Here is what they say:
 In favor of trolleys:
 "Cleaner, more comfortable, more dependable in every way"
 More breathing space. Less con- tact with your neighbor. Cheaper in the long run.'
 Easier to get into. easier to sit or stand in. easier to get out off,
 "No waiting on the street one-half hour to see several buses go by and cannot get a ride. Not so with the trolleys; always room for one more.
 Best for use ali times in the day."
 "The jitneys are no good at all.''
 There is nothing like the good old trolleys.''
 ''The trolley forever for me-
 ''Trolleys by all means If you leave package in a jitney, 'good-bye,' and when you ask that same jitney man if he had seen it, this is what you get, Me no see no package; what you think I am?'' Disgrace to the city. Who wants to ride in a crowded jitney?' ''Trolleys for me-" More sanitary and more comfort able. Let's have them by all means.''
 'Jitneys are too dirty and over- charge too much" Dirty and unreliab1e." Give us the trolleys. I have seen Bridgeport grow for II years.'' If we get better service then the | trolleys. Thousands of people that live outside of the city ride a great 1 deal on the cars and spend their | money in Bridgeport stores, so I don't see why the fare should be any more | for them just because they have l further to go.'' "The jitneys are awful. I will move i out of Bridgeport if I can't have the l trolleys.''
 ''The jitneys ought to be abolish l ed''
 1 ."I prefer the trolleys because they 1 are safer.'' 1 "I believe the trolleys are more con- | venient and easier riding than the i jitneys."
 | ''The trolleys are far superior to the jitney for general transportation | tI rode every day but will walk until we get trolley service again.
 Cost six cents on the trolley, now it costs 10 cents, about half way be tween Bridgeport and Stratford."
 Give me the troIleys because they are more comfortable and sanitary | Jfts are rotten.'
 Some of the buses are not fit fol swine.''
 'Tro1leys better for the public ir | every way''
 More comfort in riding" Safer, roomier and cleaner" '-How can a mother take her. chiI l dren to the park on pleasure triI on a jitney? Where is the jitne. that will stop and take a mother witt five or six children and a basket ( lunch ?"
 "TroHeys, because they are nor, suitable for women and children
 More comfortable and safer fo, women.''
 Safer and easier to ride on, ant cheaper for those who must trans fer.''
 Certainly something will have t. be done and very soon, think Wha he do something? Or what kind o ! a mayor is he? Tro11eys, by al means Waited one hour for Beardsley park jitney. Ruine,
 every dress ever worn in a jitney l The dirty, filthy things. I am sur l prised people are not sick.
 The trolleys for all the Beardsle. |. park sections.'
 'Jitneys are unsafe and dirty am operated by dirty, greasy 1oolein. men,
 Please give us back the trolleys." ''Jitneys are unsafe and dirty ant operated by dirty looking band" ''If they charge cents on the jitne. : transfer plan, people would rather pa. AT cents on the uoneys-
