PAY-AS-YOU ENTER
 SYSTEM INSTALLED
Cash Fare Box is Again Put to Uso On Local Lines of Connecticut
  Co.-Nleriden ENceptetl.

The eonnecticut,compan has agairf introduced the ,pay-as-you-e enter sys- tenn on the local trolley lines The cash boxes have been placed in the rear of the car on the special posts which were installed several years ago.
 The conductor stands at his post as usual in the rear of the trolley ready to make change for persons who have not got the correct change. The pay-as- you-enter system was first used when the new style truck troll ley was introduced, such as the ones used on the Hartford line.
 Later when the zone system was started it was necessary to pay as person left the trolley The officials of the company claim that it will greatly aid the conductors and will prove more efficient especially with the acceptance of tokens as fare.
 The first tokens were collected on all lines today and the pay-as-you- enter system was inaugurated today. This will be the policy on all trolleys within the city limits and all suburban cars with the exception of those going to Lazy Lane where connections are made for Meriden. Pfainvile cars come under the new system. The cash boxes will also be used on the one man trolleys.
