“New Haven” Equipping
Locomotives With Elec-
tric Headlights
Because the cost of cheap labor has
soared since the beginning of the war,
the "New Haven" road has decided to
equip its locomotives with electric
headlights and markers and thus
eliminate the labor required to clean
and repair the oil headlights and
markers. The upkeep on the electric
lights will be very low compared with
that on the old style lights. Officials
of the road say that not only will the
quality of the light be much better,
but the saving to the road'wlll be ma-
terial. _ .
The tirst ‘eiectric headlights ap-
peared on the Hartford division this
week and it is said that the engines
are being equipped as fast as the
equipment arrives. The locomotives

Stamford has brought suit against the
Stamford Rolling Mills Company for
325,000. Papers in the action were
