fHM.Ir. Till". LAW
ON TRANSPORTATION
The Hartford Times tahrs issue
jcith numerous newspapers through
out, the state, which have wwimeJ
that the bill providing for trolley
bus lines anywhere, in I ho sia'
is
a scheme t0 Iv-lp the troi ;
pany. The Times d'-s no:
to, and cites the law of
coni
t tn n k
Vhiell
gave to the Connecticut, company
Ibe privilege of starting bus lines
Vtworn terminals without applying
for permission to the Public I'tili
ties Commission. 1 rebr the bill
favorably reported in trie state sen
ate, the company would be placed
on the same tooting with other bus
lines anywhere in I be i-ta'e and
would be compel!' d to obtain such
permission.
On the face of it. this du'-s not
seem like favoring the trolby com
panies at the expense of the inde
pendent bus owners. What-ver
rights the trolley company may be
interpreted as having under the
1911 law, or which it may claim to
have under it. it has not slab
lished bus lines in this vicini'y
which did not proceed between ter
minals oflrolley line., although not
rocessarily along the sum- routes.
Th bill .before th- legislature was
quoted in the rr-'s !ins be-
tweeii any points in the state, thus
relieving tUe company, according to
the dispatrlras, of l lie alleged neceB.
sity of confining Itself between
present terminals.
Chapter IS", of the public acts of
llUl, the effect of which would be
changed by thepassngo of the pres
ent bill before the Legislature , is
as follows:
"Any street railway company
may in iiilre. own and operate
motor vehicles running upon a
regular route and carrying pas
sengers between the termini or
ovr any intermediate portion
of such route at n regular silpu
lated individual or per capita
fare, Any company which shall
cm rcise the ant hority con
ferred by the provisions of this
act shall be subject to I If su
pervision and control of the
public utilities commission In
the same extent and in th1'
mime manner as with respect to
th" business of transporting
passengers and property by
ni"."ins of street railway cars."
I nder this law it is said that the
trolley companies claim they have
the risht to operate busses be.
twe. ii any points without obtaining
the pet-mission of the V. V, C. The
secretary of the P. V. C. told the
Herald that the claim of the trol
ley companies in this respect is dis
puted, but that the. P. V. C. has
never had occasion to pass upon
the matter, nor to Interpret Ibis
point of the law. The bill before
the Legislature, he declared, is an
attempt to clarify the present law
upon this point. To the best of his
knowledge, he added, he did not
it is unlikely that they would favor j

and will not be objected to by the
general public. Nothing that smacks

no matter whether it. is provided

bus owners. The main thing is to
get the service.

combatting tho attack from the

complete victor)'; without them the
"enemy" would have won over
whelmingly, according to the um
pires. The submarines, used legitimate
ly, are a powerful weapon of of
fense and defense. The World War
showed that it was impossible to

is said to have attained a surface
speed of 37 knots. Such speed
would keep such a vessel In line
with destroyers. It will be only a
matter of a short time when the
I'nited States will have submarines
of the same speed and bigness.
During the war destroyers were
the most potent foe of submarines.
Nowadays submarines are likely to
be quite as fast as destroyers. .Ex

important city has adopted the plan
of giving pedestrians tne ngni '

The system, works this way. Pe
destrians desiring to cross highways
at the regular crossings need only
hold up a hand, thus notifying ap
proaching autoists of their Inten
tions, and then they get the right
of way. .lay-walking is strictly lor
biddeti and merits arrest and there
is a stilt tine provided for even a

' hand-upholding right of way stunt
