Sometimes nights also. Home alone

All Berths On
Trains Reserved

Hundreds of people in this city, in
Guiding residents and those who live
in other cities but work in Bridge
port. are planning an exodus begin
ming this afternoon. Already many
have left the city for other places,
prepared to spend the week end. and
in many cases to extend the vacation
over Tuesday.
At the local office of the New Ha-
Ven railroad a, local man made ap-
plication early yesterday for sleeper
reservation on any train going to Bos-
ton tonight. Returning for his berth
assignment in the afternoon he was
told that all berths had been taken,
and that there was no available space
in Pullman cars today. This condi-
ton is true not only in Bridgeport
but at almost every railroad terminal
Pullman cars, as we'll as sleepers,
were reserved to capacity some time
ago, and there is no available room
on trains leaving here for Boston or
New York today, except in coaches.
Many who ordinarily travel Pullman
selves by riding in the day coaches.
To accommodate the heavy holiday
traffic it is expected that many extra
coaches will be added to the trains
leaving here today and early tomor-
row.
Reservations for space on trains re-
turning to the city Tuesday afternoon
and evening will no doubt have to
be made very early. in order for ac-
commodations to be made.
With fair weather tomorrow
throngs will doubtless gather at the
beaches and other pleasure resorts.
Many are planning to spend Sunday
out of town. and many who must
work Monday will doubtless desert
the city Tuesday, to flock to the
shore. Several auto trips have been
arranged for the week end. All that
is necessary now, with railroad con-
ditions, not affecting passenger SER
vice, is for the weather man to come
across" with some real holiday sun
shine

cause of the shortness of the time

1t will place complete authority cor.
corning storage and selling of the
