Upon the return of the property
by the Shore Line Electric Railway
Company the revenues on this line
wers extremely low by reason of the
intensive jitney competition which
was largely fostered by cessation of
service during the period of strike.
This has resulted in revenues that
have not only been insufficient TO pay
all items of cost but not enough TO
pay the simple operating expendi-
lures. As result OF this condition
of low revenues the service has been
cut to the lowest possible point in or
der to minimize the loss, but two cars
having been operated recently over
the line.
1.-The Connecticut Company is amp,
ly able. as to facilities which It pos
sesses. to render full measure of
service to those communities, but 1t
must be apparent to all that all pub
lie expenditures for transportation
must come to the Connecticut Com
pany.
tip TO the present time w have
been temporazing with the matter,
but now that the bus IS a medium Of
transportation upon which the com.
munities can depend as long as these
individuals TINT operate the bnsses are
financially able to continue OF do net
become tired Of the work. II is time
for the Connecticut Company TO state
frankly its position.
1T is a matter Of absolute indiifer-
ence to Us as to whether OF not we
continue To operate the lines between
Central Village and points north of
Putnam, but both mediums of service
cannot exist. either the competitive
bus service must be entirely eliminat.
ed or the trolley service discontinued.
There Is no prospect of material
profits TO the trolley company, even
though they are left alone in the field
but we recognize the obligation Il
perform a public service and are per.
feetly willing 10 render again full
measure Of service IL free from com
petition. We must have the option Of
either performing service with NJ
competition or abandoning the field al

that was in the police office, but the
court refused 10 again look upon the
nauseating eonglomeration of what
appeared to be deeomposed potato

Attorney Carpenter also said that
the co0traption that was used In max
ing the fluid hardly came under Mr..
Webster's definition of still" Some
of the dictionary authors enumerated
parts of a still were missing The at
torney stated that he did not think
that any Of the liquid had been sold
and intimated that in his opinion it
could not have been sold.
Dumas was fined 500 on the first
count and $50 on the second count,
together with costs of SS.is, which he
paid. All rights Ia the stuff seized
were waived.
Joseph Dumas. who owns the block
where the cider was seized. was aIao
represented by Attorney Carpenter.
Mr.. Carpenter asked for an adjourn
ment that he might hive time TO in

Thursday morning.
Prosecuting Attorney Morse stated
that there was no evidence against
John Duda and asked permission TO
nolle the case. This was done.
