Motor Bus Service
 Expanding In State
18th Year Finds l27 Buses Added in Four Years;
 Waterbury Shares Gain in Lates COnveyances

most of Connecticut. In 1921 the companys 9 busses were op- erated at the rate of 1S1 miles q day or about $500 vehicle miles a month. To-day the monthly total of vehicle miles covered by the company's motor coaches is considerably above the million mark.
 Greatest Growth
 Greatest growth in the Connec- ticut Company's motor transporta- ton system has come within the last four years. During the first ten years of operation, the mile- age of route increased from the put into service between Stamford and Glenbrook to 338 miles in 1931. When the depression struck with full force in that year, the motor coach changed its status in Connecticut's street railway transit from that of an auxiliary to the street car to that of an individual transportation factor in its own right. It was used to replace the trolley cars on lines where busi- ness had dropped below the point which would permit the expense of maintaining rails and electrical equipment. In the short space of four years, the length of bus route increased by 220 miles. In this same period of time, the number of buses required to serve this rapidly lengthening route rose by 127, then average gain for the four years thus being slightly better than 30 per year.
 Busses are being employed by the Connecticut Company to-day not only to replace trolley service on routes of the nature described above, but also to furnish transit service on many streets and high ways where neither street car or bus service has been rendered be- fore. The mileage of route now served by both buses and trolleys is as great as 1t was in the hey day of the street car 15 to 20 years ago.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-09-24

During the past four years in its rapid expansion of motor bus service throughout almost the en- tire state, the Connecticut Co.,, has added 127 buses to it's rolling equipment to bring the total num- Der of motor coaches in operation at the present time to 332. Thu 1894, the company increased its coaches by A and in 1885 by 36, an average increase of 40 vehicles per year. In the previous two years, a total of 47 buses was added to existing equipment.
 This month, entering its 18th year of bus operation, the Connec- ticut Company motor coaches are operating over approximately 560 miles of route. .- The manner in which this motor service has grown is shown by the fact that in 1921 when the com pany first began operating motor vehicles on Connecticut highways and streets 1t had only two buses which piled over route of 2.67 miles between Stamford and Glen brook.
 From this rather humble begin ming has grown the present wide spread system whose transporta- ton network extends throughout

 It is believed that lack of know ledge of the new statute has been responsible for the lack of any cases involving its provisions in this city.
 Complaints
 Prosecutor Meyers said today that many times in the past he has received complaints from parents or grandparents on non.support grounds but that all that he could do was recommend civil action. But now, when he receives a com. plaint of this nature, he can issue warrant for the arrest of the acc cused and carry on criminal pro. cedings against him.

Non Support Made
 Felony By New Law
Parents, Grandparents, Children Eligible for Main-
 tenance, Explains Prosecutor Meyers

Prosecutor Mitchell Meyers of city court. in explaining the new non-surport iegisIation passed at the recent session of the state gen- eral assembly, today annouAced that he and the other two prose- cutors are prepared to issue war rants for the arrest of those who fail to support not only their wives and children, but their parents, grandparents or grandchildren. Prosecutor Meyers said that he had received no complaints of violation of the law since its passage, but that he and the other prosecutors were prepared to direct criminal proceedings against any accused when an apparently justified com. plaint is made.
 Under the old non-support law, persons were required to support only their wives and children un- der penalty of arrest. The only ac- ton that could be taken by par ents. grandparents or grand-chil- dren who were not being support ed was through the civil courts, q lengthy and expensive procedure. i Made Felony
 The new law places parents, grandparents and grandchildren all. on an equal footing as far as support Is concerned. Any person who now fails or refuses to fur nish reasonably necessary support to his wife, child, grandchild. par- ent or grandparent shall be deemed guilty of a felony and shall be imprisoned not more than one involving wives and children, any one now found guilty of not sup- porting a parent, grandparent or sgrandchild can be placed under bond and ordered to pay a stipula- ted amount weekly.
 The law is expected to be in- voked considerably when the old ago pension plan goes into effect xanwH x,aor Tk aufnno tiCaliv removes

Settlers Village
 ItemetteS

Nine cameramcn, including three professional phOtogra- phcrs and six amateurs, swOOpcd down upon Settlers Village today to take scenes Of Waterbury's Wonderland. The settlement has been pllO- graphcd more times than some of the stars of MOvieland.
 Everybody seems possessed with the desire to obtain pic- lures of the village. Pictures showing a view of each cottage and building at the settlement are available. Up to this time the demand for one particular cottage has been no. greater than that for another. In other words each cottage seems to be as popular as the other. Some folks have a complete collection of pictures.
 Although no new state was heard from yesterday and up to noon today, there were folks from at least eight states and two foreign countries among the visitors. A party of five registered as residents Of London, England. Two more came from Scotland. The states represented yesterday, all of which had been heard from before, were: Idaho, Washington, New York, Nary land, Georgia, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Iowa.
