volume of early season sales of

the roads gross receipts held up re-
markably well also contributed to the
result. It's gross operating revenues
for February were $6,072.849. in con-

BOY LOSES ARM IN
 RAILROAD ACCIDENT
Little Lad Was Trying to Jump on Freight, It
 Is Said -<..s

| Addison Barriotis, five-year-old son of Mrs. Eliza Barriotis, received a terribly mangled right arm in some manner on the railroad tracks near what is known as the Barnes siding Saturday afternoon. Just how the accident happened is sInot known, but it is reported that he was seen trying to hang onto the stirrup of freight car, placing his feet on the oilbox. Apparently this was on the Pier freight, for when the work train came along he was found near the tracks by Austin Mullen, brakeman of Sheffield.
 First aid treatment in the form of a tourniquet was placed about the little fellows arm and he was brought to the station on the train. He was then carried sto the nearest doctors office, but both Drs. Lee and Adam being out he was hurried by auto to Dr. Cobb's house where he was given treatment and then rushed to the Lftchfeld County hospital. It was found necessary there to ampu- tate the arm, so badly had it been mangled.
 Mrs. Novy, wife of the superin- tendent of Union Hardware plant here and formally trained nurse, accompanied the boy to the physi- clans and assisted him in dressing the arm. The little chap did not lose consciousness and cried pitifully for his mother while being taken to the doctors house,
 The hospital reports that he is doing nicely and will recover unless complications develop.

MAY HAVE TROLLEY TO ;.
 / CT. HARRINGTON AGAIN
Manager Richmond Says Com
 pany Is Willing to Try
 Experiment. rG

| Once again there is talk of the trolley running between this town and Great Harrington, and this time it amounts to something more than talk. Several times attempts have been made since the trolleys were stopped to have service resumed, but without avail. Now Nhat conditions are more rapidly approaching normal it seems that the company is willing to reconsider the matter.
 Tn conversation with News representative, Manager Richmond stated that there was a tentative plan under consideration, whereby service would be resumed. The only chance, he said, of doing business down this way was by putting on a one-man trolley and running it between Ca naan and Great Harrington every two hours. But he said the people that live in the country through which the trolley passes must under stand that the company cannot afford to run in competition with the jitney bnsses. He further added that if the bus continued to run that he would not consider opening the line for a minute. 'r
 When asked how the jitney bus could be eliminated he stated that he could see only one way and that was for the towns in which the bus re- ceived it's license to refuse to renew it. He said that he thought the li- cense in Great Barringt6n did not expire until July, which<would allow but scant time for the trolley com pany to try to ascertain whether it was again possible to make the line pay. .....
 MT. Richmond said that it was im- practical for his company to fight the jitneys and that it was simply a ques- tion of whether the people wanted company that pays large taxes to furnish them with transportation or whether they wanted to depend on one that pays no town taxes for such service. It is entirely up to the people, said Mir. Richmond.
 There is no question but what the people would like to see the trolley aeain running in to this town and other towns along the. route. There fore, it is strictly up to the people to gather in mass meeting and take action. If this is impossible let every man., woman and child who wants the trolley back to write to the News to that effect and we'll publish all the letters and send them on to MT. Richmond.
