The Norwich Bulletin, in dis-
. ng the numerous accidents
the electric roads of Connecti-
uring the past year, argues
at this alone is sufficient reason
for placing these roads under the
supervision of the State Railroad

Ii‘oads are subject to constant sup-
ervision as to thorough construc-
,on,vsafegnard and other essen-
tials to the safety of the traveling
public, and there is no great reaq
. Son why the street railroads, with
their increased speed of recent
years, should not be quite as close-

supervision. it is claimed that the
terrible Peck's Mill disaster. near
Shelton would not have occurred.
