 Steam Replaces Gas A steam locomotive and resula- ton train has replaced the gasoline coach running between Plainville and Millerton, x. Y. according 10 notification given the public utili- ties commission by General Man ager J. A. Droege of the New Haven railroad. It is expected that these trains will be used extensively by members of the legislature as they commute between Hartford and their homes.
 A petition signed by 42 persons and asking for the replacement of the gasoline coach on the Plainville- Winsted line by steam-op operated trains has been filed with the com mission and is now being investi- gated. The petitioners are com muters who reside in Winsted and points between there and here and who come here by coach to change to the train bound for Hartford.
 According to tho petition about everything that could be wrong with the gas coach is wrong. 'Insuffi- N.'lll Li'-tt, uHCpliiipl ietbl' lNlilS, lack of toilet facilities, crowded ness, and uncertainty of arrival'' are alleged. Several of the commuters, 1t is charged, have contracted severe colds while riding in the poorly heated coach and have been forceo to remain away from work.
 The coach is far from mechani- 1i,- te oi breaks down frequently, making the commuters late for work or supper. On New Years Eve the climax is said to have been reached, the coach being an hour and 20 minutes late in leaving Plainville and taking three hours to make the six miles to Unionville. Then it would go no further and automobiles were se- cured to take the commuters the rest of the way. nine being jammed into one machine ana 13 into another.
 Assistant Engineer Joseph P. Wadhams is Investigating the charges made in the petition.
