5-CENT FARE
 DOUBTFUL IN
 OTHER CITIES
By ANNETTE BRADSHAW

Among cities Bridgeport and Nor walk are in the same row with the but the cities are 31 inches off. They are perfect lives. They are if the Public Utilities Commission is sound in it's opinions.
 to the commission have that config- uration of pulled in waist and tender geographical eyes which entitle them to one ride for one nickle.
 "It is very doubtful" says the com mission in it's annual report to the Governor, eff the installation of the fiat five six cent fare, without transfer privileges, would give satis- faction"
 They say: ''The present rates of fare for the Connecticut Company are based upon a flat rate system of 10 cents for single fare, and Is cents ticket fare, selling tickets three for 25 cents, excepting in Bridgeport and Norwalk, where a 5-cent zone fare without ranSfer is maintained.
 There Is no other popu1ous center in Connecticut where all of these con diuones exist, and it is very doubtful if the installation of the flat five cent or six cent fare without transfer priv ileges would give satisfa ction in the other large cities, taking the cities as a whole.
 Ut was the hope and reasona b1e expectation of the commission that the ticket rates of the Connecticut Company could before now be re- dIced from eight and one-third cents to seven and one-salf cents, or two tickets for fifteen cents. and at such time a proper modification of the temporary orders in Bridgeport and Norwalk might be made; but indus trial depression and unafavora bIe' weather during the summer months operated against more favorable gross and net operating revenues of the Connecticut Company.
 "Tt may be assumed that the ser vices of a public utility are essential for the well being of the state and for the comfort and happiness of it's citizens and that only by financially successful and carefully managed cofpanies, as in any other lines of busin ess, can such service be satis- factori1y main tained."
