 Punch in the E,e-Zigman Appeals From Fine and aJiI sentence. 1 Five cent fares will be no more on
 the lines of the Bristol X Plainfilie 1 Electric Co.,, after today as tomorrow the six cent fare becomes effective. The jump in prices was announced re- | gently by General Manager George F.. Bookings of the company, who also i gave notice of decrease in the rate | for the electric lighting services. In 1 the future the electric lighting service will be maintained at 10 cents a lliio watt instead of the present rate Of l. l cents.
 The raising of the fares on the local l lines marks the last or the lines in this 1 part of the state to maintain a five cent fare. The local lines. which are i independent. have run for years on l that basis but in the last few years the | margin between expenses and profits l has been so close that a change was deemed necessary. The increase will mean about sl6,o00 more in the com pany's co.fcrs and will enable wages 1 to be kept al their present grade and will assure the present service. The one man cars will not be used | on the lines of the concern, with the | exception of the Woodland street branch, in deference to wishes of pa irons. The one man type was used l'cn the TerryNille line for a time, but was not a shining success. because of traffic tieups at the terminals in the l loading and unloading and in other ! disadva ntagcs. Tho small type car on the Woodland street limo has been q success and will be continued for the present at least
