CHAUTAUQUA SYSTEM
CREATES Department
FOR TOWNS SERVICE
Community Chautauquas Come
to Front With New Plans.

The Community Chautauqua System,
which has its headquarters on Church
and Grove streets, New Haven, Conn,
has recently established Department
of Community Service for all its cir
cult towns. In speaking of this new
branch, Community representative
said: ut has long been a desire on
the part of Community Chautauquas
to create this service department. We
have never been able to do so until
this year, due to the fact that most
of our time has been spent on the
building and producing of our big sum
mer programs. The establishment of
this department of Community Sery-
ice is the natural and logical result of
our policy for all-yearround service
to our towns. Through it we expect
to cooperate with you in your various
projects for community welfare. We
are able to. give information, plans and
service on any community subject"
Wide Range for Service
From the New Haven ChautauQua
headquarters comes the information
that this new department is especially
equipped to give prompt and helpful
counsel on the following subjects:
Community Buildings and Neighbor-
hood Houses.

A splendid book of floor plans for
community buildings has been pre-
pared for Community Chautauquas,
Inc, by Guy Lowell, the New York and
Boston architect This book contains
elevations and floor plans for twelve
buildings of various designs and sizes,
all practical and economical as well
as attractive.

No Charge for Service
There is to be no charge for this
service. The Community Chautauqua
system urges everyone to write 10 the
Service Department concerning local
community problems that are con-
stantly arising to perpex. The system
| emphasizes the fact that they are will
! ing to help solve these problems and

| Let us keep this department in mind

ban lines 1t forms a, and is the only
connecting link between the Bridge
port and NorWalli divisions. The
abandonment of this line would break
that continuity of service and cause
a physical separation of the Connect
cut companys property. 1t would
eliminate the street railway freight
service now being rendered over this
line and compel people along the line
to depend entirely upon iitney service,
which If financially unsuccessful could
stop at any time,
The commission believes that
abandonment of the line would result
ultimately in abandonment of the
street railway.

present the economic fare for such
daily riders, and is not predicting as
much revenue as a lower fare with in
creased patronage would produce.
The probable financial advantage
of a lower fare is not so much from
the carrying of a large number of
passengers during the peak hours of
the day as carrying materially
large number of short haul passengers
during the lean hours of the day, We
are not satisfied that five cents with
out a transfer is the economic rate
for short haul city travel but the
elimination of the transfer and the
esta blshng of such fare on all lines
radiating from the center of the city
to the city limits, is not equivalent to
reducing the revenues so per cent
based on present limited number of
passengers riding at ten cent fare
through the longer zones.
People Must PatrOnize
THE success or failure of a five
cent fare in Bridgeport, if installed,
will depend largely upon the atti-
tude of the city and the amount of
patronage which the riding public
will afford the street railway company;
and also upon such additional econ
omies as the company may be able to
introduce, including the use of one
man cars as far as reasonably practi-
cal.
1T might prove extremely danger
Gus to financial interests of the COM
pany to experiment with a five cent
| fare in a city where the company is
now receiving a fair amount of pa
tronage, but in a city where the pres
ent patronage is so limited that the
revenues fall short of paying the ac-
tual operating expenses an experiment
| should have the effect of demonstrate
ing success or failure of 81 five cent
fare in populous centers, without
transfer and with contracted fare
limits, without serious financial loss
to the company. A careful analysis
may demonstrate the necessity OF
abandoning certain lines and substi-
tuting some other form of transporta-
ton at rates that will afford reason

The commission gave an explanation

The commission says that at a pre-

and it was assumed that because of
that decision restricting the number
of jitneys in the city a careful study
could be made of the City's trans

The commission believes that stree

NICKEL CARFARE
IS NOW ORDERED


ticut Co., for transportation within
the limits Of the city of Bridgeport
from ten cents to five cents, or to such
other rate of fare as shall be rea-
sonabe.
9. There are conditions affecting
transportation within the city of
Bridgeport which make it reasonable
and proper that hearing upon an
application to reduce the fares should
be held in Bridgeport.
Hearing on Nov. 10.
The commissions hearing took
place on November 10. w. II. Com
ley, appeared for the city, and George
d. Watrous for the Connecticut Co.
The city claimed that the present rate
of fare was excessive. The respond
ent claimed the present rates of fare
We're producing insufficient revenue
and that reduction would materially
lessen the present revenue.
The commission finds that it was
| conceded that the respondent is not
receiving adequate returns under the
present rates of fare; that there is
lack of cooperation between the pub
! lie of Bridgeport and the respondent;
and that the normal riding public is
not patronizing the street railway
lines in Bridgeport principally be
cause of the alleged excessive rate of
ten cents.
The commission went into an analy-
sis of conditions. 1t finds that for
several years there has been lack
of cooperation and public patronage
The rates of fare in Bridgeport were
the same as maintained elsewhere,
and some of the more profitable sec
tons have had to assist in maintain
ing street railway service in Bridge
port
This fact presents an inequitable
condition.
Said the commission:
The Commissions View
Large centers of population should
assist in supporting tributary lines
having to do with the social business
and industrial activities of the COM
munity but should not be called upon
to assist in the maintenance of street
railway service in remote sections of
the state. Upon request and advice Of
the commission the respondent COM
pany has submitted a tentative plan
for dividing it's system into territories
or accounting districts which has not
yet been approved by the commission.
Each such district should be self
supporting and allow the company a
fair return on the value Of plant and
equipment and any revenue in eX-
cess of such fair return should IN
ure to the benefit of the public of
that district in the form of improved
service or reduced rates.
Five Cents Not Enough.
The commission also gives this
opinion:
1T is doubtful under present
economic conditions if five cent fiat
fare can be successfully maintained
on any portion of the company's sys-
tenn, but we are of the opinion that
the maximum ten cent fare for short
rides in populous centers is not at

Who Developed Speed Ruq?

In 1882 twenty miles were first rid
den within the hour. The rider was
DR.. II. L. Cortis, one of the greatest
English amateurs of his day. He
rode fifty-nine-inch high wheeler and
the track was surfaced with cinders.
1t is interesting to note the progress
made since DR.. COrtis first developed
the speed mania. The fifty-nine-inch
high wheeler has developed into the
modern, record-breaking motorcycle Of
today, while the twenty-miles-per-
hour pace has been pushed up to the
neutrality-suspicious. mark. What will be
the speed record forty years from now?

PAVING in Dresden China.

Little pieces of red-brown china
bearing the usual Dresden mark are
being passed from hand to hand in
Saxony. 1t is not that people are bar
tering their cups and saucers or are
getting rid of the contents of their
china cupboards, nor are they making
each other presents of the delicate
porcelain for which the mark of Ores
den has been noted.
A new coinage in porcelain has been
put into circulation to suprsede small
paper money, and one Of it's valuable
assets is the fact that it can be
washed, so no one need complain of
dirty money. The little red-brown
discs have met with hearty welcome,
and the factory of Meissen has never
sent out anything more popular than
these little pieces of china that are
too small for plate, too shallow to
hold water and not adorned with any
thing but the most simple devices.
