NOTICES GALL
 ATTENTION TO
 GASOLINE LAW

With all the bdIls passed by the state legislature during the recent session, and with so much local in- terest on several of the bills the city the most important and significant of the bills that has now become a law was hardly noted and now is called to mind by notices posted in the troll ley cars yesterday. and which bring to mind again the gruesome trolley wreck in shelton Washington's Birthday, last, when a dozen lives were snuffed out.
 been but slight bump, but for a can of gasoline of the front platform, the property of Judge Palmer of Shelton, which exploded. causing a rapid fire death before aid could reach them. has inspired a new law. the aim of which is to avoid another similar catastrophe. The notice posted by the Connecticut Company reads: An Act passed by the 1921 Legis- 1ature provides that. No common carrier of persons shall knowingly transport on any vessel, car or ton of passengers for hire, any gasolen, or other inflammable or explosive substance, whether 1t be liquid, solid or gaseous. which sub power, heat or light for such vessel. car or vehicle. No person shall bring into or place upon such vessel, car or vehicle any gasoline or any other inf1ammabale or explosive sub
 "Any person violating any provision of this act shall be fined not more than s1,000 or impris- oned not more than six months, or both.'"
 It appears from the wording of the act that boats in the passenger car rying trade, would have to refuse such shipments entirely make special trips, in order not to be in violation of the law. There are a number of vessels making regular passenger carriyng trips into the Bridgeport, New Haven, New London, Norwich and Hartford dock terni- nals, that no doubt have had such substances part of their cargo In the past.

 g. business trip to Milford yesterday morning, being seen circulating g around Milford's handsome Town hall.
 The trolley company is not gaining g any boosters with the present service to Paradise Green via Stratford ave nue, because of the delay of several minutes on almost every trip when the cross over is reached on Main street, near the center. Invariably the car, fairly we'll filled with pas sengers, is delayed several minutes, unti the crew of a Stratford avenue over. At times they wait until one or two cars come down from the Green and then take the crossover and let the outbound car proceed.
 To the waiting passengers it seems as though the idle car should take the cross over a half dozen times before time for it to return to the city, if that is necessary, and that to 1ncon- veninece the trolley crew would be better business than to delay 20 or 30 passengers
 Others have suggested that the de- laws in the center could be avoided, and the Stratford section of Barnum avenue given better service if the Stratford center cars ran in a loop, part of them going out Stratford ave- To6 in mum avenue, and the balance of them visa versa, in Bridgeport using the Water street and golden Hill loop, avoiding Main and Fairfield if desir- ed.
