MAN WAITED DAYS
 FOR STAGE COACH
Now Complains Very Readily,
 Says Railroad Man

"A few years ago if a man misse d the stage coach to New York he would be content to wait a few days Tor the next one, now he lets out an awful squawk If he misses one sec tlon Of q revolving door" said Leslie II. Tyler to the Kiwanis club today. Mir. Tyler is special representative of the public relations department Of the New York. New Haven and Hartford Railroad Co. He was the weekly speaker at the kiwanis meet ing at the Burritt hotel.
 He told about the three major fo,ms of transportation, water, land and air and traced the development of transportation from the time man first taught beasts to drag heavy ar ticles to the discovery Of the wheel. the development of the cog, coach, rails. gasoline. motors, automobiles and airplanes.
 He said the New Haven road al- ways has been pioneer in the de- Nelopment of New England since the opening Of the Granite railroad in 1928. This road was operated under mule and gravity power. Later came the development of steam. electricity and gasoline motive power. the in vention Of the switch, turntablc nov able truck and snow blow.
 In lS+9, he said, newspapers com plained of the heavy locomotivc be- ing used then, when 22 ton engines were used on the rails. Today the road Is using locomotives which weigh l60 tons up. He told of the development Of the locomotive from the days when it was thought the fire box should be between the wheels. through the wider fire box to the automatic stoker, super heat CT and feed waste heater, which. he said, are all fuel savers.
 He said the New Haven road was the first in the country to adopt electrified lines on . steam railroad. Also 1t was the first railroad to Op- crate motor busses on the highways. This last move was made necessary by the decreased revenue in the pas songer service.
 In New England 40 to 45 per cent of the transportation is pas senger service. as compared to % per cent on trunk line roads.
 A train of 10 modern passenger coaches represents an investment of more than $45O,o00, he said.
 Speaking of the New England Transportation Co.,. a bus line sub sidiary of the New Haven road, the speaker said they ran 1S,000 coach miles last year. On these trips they carried 2.Ss7,000 passengers.
 He mentioned the seven forms of transportation controlled by the New Haven as follows: Steam. electric, gasoline, motor busses, trolleys, steam boats and automobile trucks.
 The club will hold its Christmas party next Wednesday.
