Last OF Open
Cars Taken On
0ne-Way Trip
City of Hartford Bids Fare.
we'll to Old Convey
ances Familiar Here

Hartford has finally caught
up with Waterbury as far as
getting rid Of the old-style
open trolley car is con-
cerned. According to Charles
H. Chapman, manager OF the
Waterbury division OF the
Connecticut Railway and
Lighting Company, open
trolleys have not been used
in several years, not even for
picnic purposes. Only yester-
day did Hartford get rid Of
its last open cars.
The Hartford cars were sold to
Suisman and Blumental, Inc, OF
that city. They made their last run
over the Hartford rails yesterday
on their way to the BALI quarry in
Newington where they were burned
after the scrapiron and other metal
work had been stripped from their
frames. A dozen obsolete closed type
cars were also In the hands Of the
wreckerS.
Years ago, the open trolley cars
were popular vehicles when the fam
lily wanted to go on days outing to
Savin Rock, Quassapaug or Lake.
wood. In the Hartford area the
popular Sunday family outing trip
on the open cars was from the Cap
ital City to Springfield, Mass.
In recent years here the former
Connecticut company, now owned by
the G. r. and L. company, used
buses for special outing purposes.
In fact, the transit company has been
engaged here during the past few
years in eliminating all trolley cars,
not alone open ones. At the present
time there are only three trolley
lines In Waterbury, the Town Plot
Waterville line, the Willow street.
Waterville line and the Oakville-
Watertown line.

WPAErnployes
Facing Probe
On Work Here
Charged With Holding Pri-
vate Jobs While Accept
ing Federal Aid

Claims that some local
WPA employees do other jobs
after their regular working
hours, either working for
employers or for themselves,
have come to the notice OF
organized labor in Water
bury and are being investi-
gated.
Just what turn the investigation
viii take Is not known, but should
evidence to support the claims be
found, 1t is expected that local labor
leaders will make vigorous protests
to state WPA officials.
Labor men declare that II the
charges are true It means that WPA
workers are keeping other local
residents from getting work, and
hold that this Is manifestly. unfair
to the city's workers. It is their
contention that II WPA men stuck
to their own Jobs and did not ac-
cept additional work there would
be more opportunity for the .city's
I'm employed to secure steady or
part-time jobs.
Among the complaints heard are
that WPA workers are hiring them
selves out to other employers and
working for them when they are
not employed on their government
Jobs, and also that they are work
ing for themselves, securing Jobs at
paper-hanging, carpenter work end
so on.
A high labor official In the city,
WIN asked that his name be with
held, confirmed the report OF the
investigation. He said that e
probe had been underway for some
time, and that important develop
ments could be expected In the near
future.

1 ,598 Visitors At
Children's Museum
Newly Established Institution Proving Popular WPA
Educational Feature for School Classes

= Waterbury's children's museum,
located In the basement Of the
Mattatuck Historical society build
ing on West Main street and oper-
ated under the direction Of the ed
ucational and recreational branch
of the local WPA, is proving to be
very popular with local grammar
school students, according to an
announcement made today by Jo-
seph Anthony, WPA instructor IN
charge of the project.
According to the WPA instructor
the aggregate attendance from Oc-
tober 10 to November 10 was 1855
children. This number is made up
of groups from practically all the
local grammar schools who visit the
museum after school hours to do
extra-curricula work in general
science. 1t is interesting to note
that the children attend the after
school classes of their own volition,
some of the groups making trips
from suburban districts to attend
the classes.
Schedule Arranged
The museum has been operating
indoors since the close Of the play
ground season and the schedule has
been arranged so that pupils from
all schools in the city have an OPP
portunity to benefit by the instruc-
lions. The instructor has arranged
1t so there are representative grade
groups from various schools at the
class sessions.
Next week, on Monday afternoon
two moving pictures Of two reels
will be shown. One Of these will
show the high spots Of Glouches-

methods Of setting and hauling the
nets and showing the many differ
ent kinds of fish that are caught
