of the Norwalk division of the com-
pany reported that the change ap-
peared to have been acceptable to
the riding public as there were no
complaints or any dtfliculty in en-
forcing it. This is particularly true
in the case of Rowayton inhabitants
who pay less under the new fare
than under the old. '
Under the tencenl fare. the old
five-cent areas again come into their
own together with the full transfer
privileges. There did not appear to
be any reduction in the number of
trolley passengers although the jit-
neys, which are still charging five
cents. were patronized in good shape.

for rides with the payment of an ad-
ditional three cents or the tokens

for school children will not be ac-
