The board of directors of the Connec- ticut Chamber of Commerce, at their meeting Friday in New Haven. adoptde the recommendations of the trolley in vestigating committee practically without change,
 The directors did not all agree with the recent report of the public utilities commission to the legislature that the commission should have power to au- thorize street railways to operate or es- tablish motor bus lines. Otherwise the report was accepted without any differ ence of opinion, and after it had been referred to referendum vote of the chambers of commerce, bill will be drafted and presented to the legislature.
 The committee making the investigation and report of the trolley situation in the state consisted of George T. Kimban ot New Britain, chairman; Morgan 5, Brainard of Hartford; Robert W. Fer kins of Norwich Percy T. Litchfeld Of bridgeport and Arnold Turner of Dan- bury.
 In December, 1919. the committee was authorized to empoy counsel to as- sist in conducting its investigation and was represented by counsel at all hear ings held by the Public Utilities Commits sion on remonstrances to the zone sys- tem and subsequent petitions of the Con- necticut company for changes of fare.

SEVEN MISSIONARIES FROM

A meeting of special interest was held at Park Congregational church Friday , evening, when sketches of the work of seven missionaries from the church were given. Mrs. Allen Latham. chairman of missions, presided.
 The devotional exercises were conduct ed by Mrs. Henry T. Arnold. president of the Woman's Federation. and the singing was led by Mrs. E. A. Harris. The work of Dr. Helen Howe Cage. daughter of pr. and Mrs. S. II. Howe, who is at the Yale mission in China, was told by. Mrs. Howe. who read an article written by Rev. Anson Phelps Stokes, who wlote of his trip from ShanghA.. 300 miles by steamer, to the city Of ChangChi, where the Yale mission is To- cated. A glimpse of the home life of the same mission was shown in paper pre- pared by Mrs. Marjory Browning Leav- ems, daughter of Deacon Frank A. Brown ing, which was read by Miss Etta Me Naught.
 A third missionary in China is Dr. 1 Wentworth Prentice, who has established dental school at the Hopkins Memorial hospital at Picking, about LOCO miles above Chang-Chi. His work was shown by quotations from letters which were l read by his father. Deacon Myron B. | Prentice.

stimulate riding.
 Negative arguments arc that the ne cessity of having a municipal supervisor with a corps of auditors, engineers and clerks means a duplication in large meas ure of the office and engineering forces, and so of the operating expense. and there is friction between the office of the com pany and that of the supervisor and the guarantee of and limiting of fixed divi- dend return discourages initiative, in striving for efficient management This latter objection can to a great extent be met by permitting the companies to in- crease their dividends upJto a fixed maxi mum, with a decrease in fares. Attention
 is called to the fact that because of the jurisdiction of the public utilities commis- sion of this state over fares, the trolleys of Connecticut do in effect, operate on a service-at-cost basis. F. Your committee is not prepared to rec ommend that municipalities be authorized
 to make service-at-cost contracts with
 trolley companies.
 Your committee recommends, however. that twice each year the public utilities commission review the rates of fare
 charged by the street passenger common carriers of the state with a view to au-
 thorizing an increase, or ordering a de- crease. in fares as may be justified by the financial statements of the carriers.
 VI. Fares.
 As stated under the preceding heading, | there is such a difference in operating
 costs in different localities, and more es- Pec!ally as the attitude of the public
 toward the street railway differs so widely from one community to another in
 regard to the amount of riding, the keep
 ing of vehicles off trolley tracks so as not
 to delay the cars. etc, 1t is not right to | tax by a high fare, a city which cooper
 ates with the trolley company. in order
 that city which does not SO cooperate
 may have trolley eervice at less than
 cost. There. is also no more reason for having the same trolley fare throughout the. state than for. having a uniform charge for water. ~rs or electricity. Mere over, there are E c ral trolley companies nthe state and il !s not feasible to re- quire all to charge the same fare. There | fore. it is no reputable to impose a stan- dard- fare throughout all the lines of one company which has extended to include widely separated communities. It is be- | lieved that it will stimulate cooperation
 between the public and. the street rail- way companies if rivalry between com munities is encours ged by rewartling a cooperating community with lower fares i Your committee recommends that rates I of fare should be determined by the reIa. tive cost of operating the street trans
 rortation lines within municipality or a
 group of municipalities so inter-related as
 to riding habits. etc, as 10 make up g street transportation system essentially distinct from other systems in the state | The foregoing report and accompanying

imae determination Of the trolley prob lem. The committee has also examined through counsel and through it's individu- al members large number of reports Of other trolley systems and of investfga- tions conducted by various municipal, state and federal agencies. In addition. the committee has observed the operation of the trolleys and jitneys of the state and interrogated people throughout the state in order to determine the attitude
 of the public toward the entire situation. The report is made as follows:
 Referendum Recommended. Your committee believes that there are six main topics relative to the present trolley situation which require legislative action. These topics are discussed brief ly herein, with the recommendations of your committee thereon, and accompany i ing this report is a proposed ballot which ] the committee recommends be sent inlme- diately with copies of this report, to all members of the chamber. in order that | their views may be known and may be passed on to the general assembly in sup port of such legislation as your board sees | it to have introduced. The Trolley Situation in General. | The trolley situation in Connecticut is | duplicated in practically every other state | in the country. The tro1leys nearly every where are in a critical financial condition many miles of track have been abandon ] ed many roads are in the hands of re-
 ceivers everywhere the trolley companies are constantly increasing their fares most roads are unable to meet. their tax and many, other financial obligations, and very few roads anywhere in the country
 are paying dividends.
 | This. condition is, due in part to early errors of judgment in building into un- profitable territory, and in part to the in- | crease in the use of private automobiles, and in large measure to unrestricted jit-
 ney competition but the chief cause is
 the great increase in the last few years in the price of everything which goes to make up the cost of operating a trolley system. Wages, fuel and materials have
 all increased practically 100 per cent. since 1916. @ Notwithstanding these facts. your com
 nittec is firmly convinced that electric street railways are, and for many years will be essential to the industrial and
 reasons urge that prompt steps be taken to so relieve the street railway companies from excessive and improper burdens that lenabled to furnish transportation at 8
 reasonable rate of fare.
 I. Taxation.
 The trolley companies in Connecticut are taxed 4 1-2 per cent. on their gross receipts, whether or not they make any
