REPORT ON STREET RAILWAYS
BY UTILITIES COMMISSION

Hartford, Conn, Jan. 5.-The public
utilities commission today sent to the
general assembly report of its inquiry
into street railway conditions, under an
act of the 1919 session, in which 1t
makes many suggestions for legislation
to relieve trolley companies.
In q general statement it says that SO
many Investigations have been made that
there is little new to add. \ number of
reports, financial and Otherwise are ap-
pended An outstanding Recommendation
Is that the attorney general be author
lied to ask the federal court 20 vacate
a Judgment against the New Vcrk, New
Haven and Hartford railroad by which
the Connecticut Company was taken from
the railroad by which the. CONNECTICUT
Company was taken from the railroad
company and, placed in the. hands of fed
eral trustees. The trolley lines might
then be returned ito the New Haven road,
as it is Connecticut Company, doing a
state business tsolely, and have the cor
porate stock and control vested where it
was before The report says the five
| federal trustees are paid total of s31,-
| 500 as a yearly salary, of which amount
the New Haven road pays $4,000 and
| $751; by the Connecticut Company. The
commission says this expense is created
| for such supervision "as is usually per-
formed by a board of directors without
pay"
| Suggestions for corporation and man.
| agerial reforms include: DivisioA of the
| system into well defined operation parts
under competent managers; greater at
| tendance to maintenance of 7 schedules
supply auxiliary motor vehicles in char
| tered territory; increase the number of
one-map cars in urban service; greater
publicity in operating and financial con-
| ditions obtain cooperation and not an
tagonism of the public; stricter observ-
| ance of courtesy; prompt correction ot
defects and annoyances.
Recommendations for legislative con.
sideration include: Relieve companies ol
statutory obligation on paving, bridge
maintenance, ETC., to considerable ex
tent; relief from highway bridge con
struction and maintenance ; extension ct
l.time in which to pay taxes due the state
authorizing municipalities to subsidize 10
cal lines.
1t is recommended that jitneys be de
clared common carriers, and regulated
as such; and to give municipalities jur
isdiction over jitney routes and schcd
ules..
\ Rendition of street railway service, tn
report, says. should be primarily for tn
benefit of the public rather than for til,
benefit of the stockholders or to satisf,
the demands of employees when detrimen
tai to economical and efficient operation.
