Announces Hip intention of, Starting line in August Although work, on‘ the New Canaan- Norwaiktrolley line hasn't: yet be gun. there is to be established at ones between here and Norman: a doctor ominous line, says the New Canaan. Messenger. This is to be done by, C. \L. Barker, head of the Barker Motor Works, of Norwalk and there are many who say the motor 'bus line will be preferable in some respects to a, trolley. However, the trolley is by no means a dead letter, mittee of the Norwalk Board of Trade which has the matter in hand, is still actively "at. work. Henry P. Price. president of the National Bank of Norwalk and president of the Norwalk Board of Trade, told a Messenger reporter yesterday, that the outlook is still very encouraging. ‘ notwith- standing the many delays. It is said that there is a probability of outside capital taking the matter up at an early date. , Mr. Barker, who is toestabllsh the limo line, is now having two big motor trucks remodelled for the service. They are being fixed to carry twenty passengers each, and any quantity of small packages. Mr. Barker also has heaVy freight trucks in readiness for hauling fright to and rfom New Canaan. He believes he can make it of more interest to New Canaan merchants to have their goods sent from New York to Norwslk by boat, and then transported to New Canaan by truth, then the present ull'raii route. Mitt rates _ by boob. are lower than by rail and all goods ship- ped-Irwin?!“ York’by 5 o. In. one day can be delivered in New Canaan the next morning.“ Being brought from Norwalk by truck they can he do Illvercd at the doors of the stores in New Gannon, saving the necessity of transportation from the freight sta- tion afterthew arrive here. Mr. Barker told a Messenger _re- porter yesterday that he honed to get thls‘seryice. established early in August. lie has talked with several business men in’ New Canaan, and be- lieves that he can make the line pay. The passenger fare between Norwalk and New Canaan willprcloably he 35. cents for the round trip. If the travel is heavy enough the fare will be reduced The service will include two trips each way daily. making it equally convenient for residents of both towns. The frequency of the trips will be increased at once, if the traffic justifies it Mr Barker says that there are hundreds. of persons in the Norwalks. that prefer the hills of New Canaan as outing place to points on the Sound, and he believes, that_durlnx the summer. he will have as many Norwalk people going to and from New Canaan as the other way. A Mr. Barker is hiring his two trucks ifor the service equipped with large wheels, so be can get the maximum speed out of them. The trip, it is V believed, will be more enjoyable than a trolley ride, and no jolly as a joy ride. ‘ At the some time that the .‘bus service between Norwulli and Wilton. Canaan is put in 'operntioa. Mr Barker is going to begin a similar slrvoce between Norwalii and wliton.
