| New Trolley Schedule
The Connecticut Company will nut
into effect, tomorrow, a new schedule
Of trolleys running between Meriden
and New Britain. The schedule has
TO do with through cars, that is to
say cars going from New Britain to
Meriden and vice versa which, start
ing tomorrow, will spend is minutes
less in making the run between the
two cities.
Work on installing the automatic
signals between New Britain and
Meriden has been completed and sew
eral new turnouts have been Install
ed along the line. The nearest of
these turnouts to Plainvile is the
one near Hanson's shop at the town
line.
The new schedule will eliminate de-
lay for all through cars in the center
of the town, as cars will only stop in
the center long enough to discharge
and take on passengers. This will be
a decided advantage as it will greatly
relieve the congestion caused by the
holding up of passing autoists due to
the standing troleys.
The schedule in full is as follows:
Cars from Meriden to New Britain:
stop at Plainville, 6:25, sos, 1928.
1883 first car on Sundays S:25 and
every 80 minutes until 1855 y. m.
Cars from New Britain to Meriden:
arrive in PlainvilIe 5:44, 6:14, 6:44.
7:14 first car on Sundays and every
80 minutes until 11:14.
Schedule of cars running between
Plainville and New Britain only: Ar
rive at Plainville, 5:44, $3.50, 6:14,
6:29, 6:44, $3.50, 7:14 (first car on
