Issue Statement On < Commissions Report

The directors of the Connecticut Company have made a careful study of the finding and order of the Public Utilities Commission regarding the system of fare collection and rates tn- stalled by this company last Novem- Der.
 In adopting this system our pri- mary object was to preserve to the communities served the extensive fabric or street railway facilities which has been developed during a period of many years and upon which the social, business and industrial life of so large a portion of the state de- bends.
 We regret that the commission did not see it's way clear to permit a longer trial of the system which we had adopted after such careful con sideration and comprehensive survey of the riding characteristics on all lines, but it is our intention to place the new schedules into effect as pro- posed, using our best endeavors to make the plan a thorough success
 It is gratifying that the commis- sion so fully approves the method oi collecting fares based upon the dis tance travelled and we appreciate that tho Commission has been most de- sirious of affording just and proper solution of the many difficulties in herent in the situation Both the Commission and the company are endeavoring to obtain the same re- suits, but, as is pointed out in their finding full cooperation of the public is necessary to enable the compars to maintain adequate service. It is of course, essential that our revenues are not reduced and this can only be accomplished by a greater use of the service under the proposed rates oi fare. We think that the theory upon which all street railway fares should be based-that of giving the maxi mum of safe and convenient service at a minimum charge-does not jus tify the making of any reduction from established cash rates for any class O riders.
 It is to he hoped that such use vii be made of the service under the pro. posed rates as will produce suffRcien revenue in order that it may not b; necessary to further increase the rate. or materially reduce the service whicl on some lines would result in an en tire elimination of the street cars.
 There is a legal question involved and we are advised by our counse that it is probable the Commission has exceeded its powers in suggestin. the sale of tickets at reduced rate and the installation of communication tickets. In view of this fact the com pany has felt constrained to file al appeal with the Superior court, bu with the definite desire of not con testing any further than is necessar to preserve our Fundamental rights a this time.
