The committee appointed by the
Norwalk City Council to investigate
the street railway system and the
many complaints concerning it. made
a very interesting report last night to
the Council.

That this committee has gone into
the matter deeply was very evident
from the exhaustive report. which was
typewritten and covered more than
live sheets of paper. it covered many
points from an unsatisfactory schedule
to the. amount of tax the company
pays. Various suggestions are also
made. covering the whole town, rela-
tive to a change in the schedule trans.
fers, transfer points. etc., and the. es-
prcsslon of the belief that“ seven tick
ets for a quarter should be sold, good
on the trolley lines and on the steam
road in the town.

General Manager Punderford, of the
Connecticut Company, was to have
come to Norwalk last night and at-
tend the Councii, but could not. ow
ing“ to the Waterbury wreck.~ Mr
Punderford has informed the commit-
tee that he will be in Nowalk during
the week, however. He will be met
by the committee, other members of
the Council. and a number of promi
nent residents in the hope of arriving
at an understanding.

The full report of the committee is
ati follows Resolutions yeferred to
at the end of the report have not yet
been completed.

To the Mayor and Common Council of
'- the City of Norwalk. .

Gentlemen: Your committee Pic
whom was referred the resolution pre-
sented at the last meeting concerning
the trolley system and its deficiencies
beg to report as follows:

Your committee have inspected lin-
system and the service within the city
and also at the factory centers and
railroad centers in South Norwalk.
through which many of our citizens
travel by trolley, and we met the com-
mittee of the Norwalk Business Men's
Association and the seiectmcn of the
town, a number of invited citizens, the
manager and assistant manager of the
trolley. system at the Norwalk Club.
on the evening of November ii. and
many other citizens having complaints
to mak6.I We met in an informal mam
ner, and we find there is great dis-
satisfaction with ihe present service
and that the service could be improv-
ed with great advantage and benefit
to the community and at the. same
time with profit and advantage to the
trolley company.

i. The trolley system is annoying
and inadequate from poor connections
at transfer points, from withholding
transfers with reference to an imag-
inary lino crossing the town east‘and
west at the armory. from strict adher-
ence to transfer point at the comer
of Main and Wall street, and from
withholding transfers under various
annoying circumstances. In our judg-
ment. transfers should be freely given
and offered to passengers. whether
they are asked for or not. and should
extend to all parts of the town, and
the transfer point should extend from
the foot of Mill Hill to the post oiiice.
Transfers should permit a stopover
for one car at the businesm center.
with the privilege of taking the car
to which transfer is made at any
point in the business nter. Many of
our citizens work or t vel outside the
city and going or coming should have
a few minutes for necessary errands.
business and purchases in transit
through the business center of the.
city. We emphatically do not think
that any east and west line for trans-
fers should be recognized, and that
the excuse given by the manager'of
the company that without this occas-
ionally passengers might get on at
South Norwalk, go up West avenue.
take a transfer to East avenue and
return, on one fare, would not often
occur. and if it did occur in great num-
bers, it would not be unprofitable busi-
ness the trolley company.

idepot trains to the South Nor
walk railroad station should go up to
the waiting room, under a porch, eitb-
or by looping around the railroad sta-
tion, or by a line to the waiting room.
The Danbury & Norwalk waiting room
in this city should be open until mid-
night. as a waiting room for the trol-
Iey system.

3. Cars should have a plainly mark.
ed sign showing the routes they will
take and a signal at the South Nor‘
walk waiting room showing when a
car is approaching and within the
block.

4. The schedules should be made
with reference to the opening and clots
ing of factory hours at the factory
center at South Main street. in South
Norwalk, and at the corner of Ann
street and West avenue, and with ref-
erence to the departure of trains in
the forenoon and the arrival of trains
in .the forenoon and evening. In order
that our citizens may reach their
places of labor on time at. the opening
of factory hours both morning and
noon and may leave on the closing of
factory hours without long waits or
delays.

5 East avenue and Westport cars
should pass through the business cen-
ter and reverse and return at the
switch near the post office. Your com-
mittee does not submit a schedule in
detail. but our investigation showed
us that our citizens will be far bettcr
accommodated if the morning sched-
ule-were put five minutes earlier in
arrival at. the South Norwalh depot
and that the afternoon schedule in
leaving the depot should be from iive
to right minutes later. and that the
invariable waits at the east end of the
drawbrldge should be eliminated. We
find that this might be done in either
of two ways: East avenue cars at
tin- tlouth Norwallt railroad station

should be re- Hestabllshed and we think
a direct service between Broad River
and South Norwallt should be estab
lislIed bympuilding a spur in front of
the library} from cross street to the
Methodist Church.

7. We report that the service to
Ward street is uncertain and oy-
ing, and that on this braoc grail
improvement could be made by a bet-
ter" Inspection of the service,e ial'

8. We find great'congestion at the

with reference to more es cit in.
structions to the draw tender against
opening the draw long in advance of
an approaching vessel when a car is at
hand that might be allowed to pass
without the slightest danger of any
obstruction to navigatidn. Particular-
ly in rush hours. morning. noon and
night the draw tender should be at
his post with reference to accommo-
dating the trolley trnfhc as much as
the river trailic where both can be
accommodated without delay to navi-
gation, and the sclectmcn have agreed
to attend to this matter.’

IO. Your committee found many rc-
portod instances of .bad manners in
conductors—“attention to the

signal outgoing connecting cars al
transfer points, refusing transfers, re-
fusing to hccept transfers, refusing to
stop at designated points, and neglect
of schedule time, to the great preju-
dices of our citizens.

ii. We believe that sew-II tickets
should be sold for‘2ry cents. good on
the llanbury a Norwalk itailroad from
South Norwalk to Winnipmlk: good on
the New York, New Haven and Hart-
ford Railroad. from Five Mile River to

last Norwalk, or on the trolley any
where within the town.

12. it is the opinion of your cool-
mittce that the recent experiment in
all roads presents a solution of. the
road construction problem and that

mand for the oil road obstruction in

expense. The oil-treated surface by
the latest improved methods makes u
compact surface three inches thick
without expensive alone construction
or top dressing, by merely shaping up
the road with the material already on
it. After this is oiled and rolled
whether made of gravel or crushed
stone, the. road is permanently im-
proved. Wherever this may be done,
We advise an ordinance of the city
requiring the trolley company to con
struct its' part of the roadbed between
the rails and two feet on each side.
of the same material and by the same
process as the adjacent highway may
be constructed by the city.author‘lties.
. l3. We ascertained by the last rs-
port of the railroad commissioners
that the Connecticut Railway and
Lighting Company. a small part of
whose plant is located within the town
of Norwalk, reports assets to the
amount of 530.572.309.50. The cqu’
puny reports its grand total of con-
struction and equipment at 329.863,-
81525, of $157,674 a mile. Its total
track computed as single track is 198,
miles. of which perhaps 15 miles is
in the town of Norwalk. its prefer-
red and common stock is 815,000.000,
its outstanding funded debt is Hz,-
76J92. We regard this as an exces-
sive capitalization and unfair; the.
company itself regards it as exces-
sive, for it pays to the state only
"04,833 in taxes, or. less than 3 W
mills on its reported assets. it pays
no taxes to the town. except. on a little
real estate; paid nothing for its frun
chase, and pays no .tax on its Iran
chlse. and in the judgment of your
