Two Proposals For Set- tling Trolley Rate Dis- pute In Bridgeport Argued Before P. U. Commission
Figures Introduced Show Material Gain Since Jit- ney Has Been Curtailed.

Bridgeport, March 22.-Two pro. posals for settling the trolley fare is- sue in Bridgeport were argued before the public utilities commission in ses- sion at the City hsll here today Mayor Fred Atwater and members ol the mayors transportation committed asked that the present radical five cent fare system be continued with the benefits of reduction through the token system being allowed for riders in communities on the outskirts of Bridgeport.
 Judge Carle Foster appearing for Bridgeport, Fairfield and Stratford asked for unit five cent fare within the limits that were established for the ten cent fare, with two cent transfer.
 Figures Are Offered.
 Figures made public by Chairman Richart T. Higgins of the public utili- ties commission at the opening of the hearing, show that the operating in come of the Bridgeport division for the period of the five cent fare test from November 20 to February 28 after the payment of taxes, amounted to $12,4S5.50. It was also shown that the company on a five cent fare dur ing the months of December, Jan uary and February 1921-22, had an operating income of s2o,4sa as against a deficit of S37,925 for the same months of 1920-21, when the ten cent fare was in effect. While the deficit was pilns up, the trolley company faced unregulated iitney competition and for the three months which showed a surplus on a five cent fare jitneys were regulated.
 Not Earning Enough
 President Lucius s. Storrs in pre- senting the case for the Connecticut Go. stated that the company was not earning enough to function in civic growth and civic necessity" and claimed that comparison of revenues under the five cent fare with revenues last year meant nothing because jt ney competition had been reduced in the meantime. Until the time comes when the transportation corporation can be delegated for the sole med ium of transportation, the community must suffer through higher fares" he said
 The city council chamber was filled when the hearing opened. President Lucius Storrs, Manager J. B. Potter of Bridgeport, Assistant Controller Thomas J. McGreevy and other of ficials of the Connecticut Co, were
