EvER BRIDGE
 TOOPEN SOON
Reduced Rate COnlmunta- fon Ticket Plan Inangu-
 rated By Commission

A reduced rate communication kelEet plan, with provision for car EhaTing motorists was announced today for the new Connection River bride which win be opened saTiy next month.
 Under the plan devised by thl Hartford Bridge commission, c tickets good for 90 days will be sold for certain classes of vehicles fol &s0O, c 50 per cent reduction from the regular 1O-cent toll required oi passenger cars.
 While the books will normally be Issued for but one vehicle, persons cooperating in the gasoline and rub Der conservation program by ro- tating use of their cars win be is- sued ticket books on special appli- cation, according to William D Griffin, bridge manager.
 Communication tickets will be sold only at the bride toll house on the east side of the span. They will be issued for two-axle automobiles reg istered for passenger use, combina- ton passenger and commercial, dealers passenger, repairer's pas senger, livery passenger and taxi- cabs. Use of the ticket book will be limited to the vehicle Identified by the license number recorded on the book.
 Tn the case of books issued to cAr-Sharing groups, the license num- Ders of all cars included will be re- corded on the books and the tickets may be used for any of the cars pro- viding only that the individual to whom the book is issued is travelling in the party. An application for this type of book must be signed by all participants in the car-Sharing plan.
 Mir. Grimm said that although the 30-dAy time limit on each book would leave about eight tickets un- used if the car were used only for committing back and forth from work six days g week, the commis- sion assumes that in the majority of cases additional trips will be made during the month for entertain. Eaent or other purposes.
 He said that investigation of oth. CT toll bridges in the East shows that the Hartford span will be giv- ing commuters the largest discount of any. He added that well over 60 per cent of the travel over the span Is expected to be commuter trafYlc.
 No refunds will be made for books lost, mislaid, destroyed or stolen. However, refunds will be made up to the amount of $500 after de- ductang the full toll rate of 10 cents for each coupon used if request is niade within 30 days after the ex- piration date of book. This pro- vision, said MT. Grifan, Is designed to accommodate persons who change johss go into military service or for other reasons have no further use for the books.
