7 Realizing the lack of sumcient rev-l
- ue under existing rates, the Com—
7rnission hesitates to make a reduc-
fion, and- is not justified in so doing
unless upbn the theory that a reduc-
iffi fare rvlll create patronage and
:_:roduce increased revenue. This
may or may not be true, but in our
, ;pinion the results are sufficientlv;
:zr-ornising to warrant a. trial for :21.1

"It is apparent from all the evid-
mvce submitted and from the past,

'i-:e between Norwalk and South

“The Commission in this case Will
. issue a. temporary order requiring
; and does hereby order and require
7 'i‘he Connecticut company to supply a.
3 monably frequent local passenger
,transportation service between Nor-
_ .walk and South Norwalk, at points at
car near the respective railroad sta-
7130118. at a five: cent rate of fare, eith-
ter by street railway car or automo-
bile bumes or both; said service to be
Walled on or before the 6th day of
November, 1921. and to continue for
test period of ninety days there-
. ter, and subject to such further
Sflier in the premises as may be-
1. ~ med. advisable.
~ “The Connecticut Company is
reby directed to supply the Com-
‘ssion weekly, during said period.
‘th 2. statement of the number of
ssengers carried over the said line
tween Norwalk and South Nor-
~Ik. 'Also to keep an accurate ac—
' ount of the revenues and operating
expenses of the Nor-walk Division
separate from other divisions.
"This order is issued not because
the respondent company is today get-
ting excessive returns but with the
shope that. a' reduced rate will in-l
a. use _its usetylness .to the public
d also its revenues. The test period
, y show that public patronage is
.uflicient and that some other rate.
ore than five cents, is the economic
'— e to install." .
_{The hearing for the city of Nor- .
»= 1; was held at the capitol on Octo-
' 19. Just before the hearing was
' :Ld a petition was received at the
eting signed by 26 residents of
-.rwalk asking that the hearing be
»- d in that.city, but it was received .
too late and the hearing- was held at
Eiartford.
Following the publication of the
crrder yesterday the commission is-
:med 3. statement saying: “The test.
period may show that public patron-
age is insufficlnent and that some
other rate, more than five cents, is
the economic rate to install.”

Why YOur Hospital Has a Deficit ‘”
A public hospital IS not a profit-making institution. If the hospital made a profit on »"
every patient, or even on the majority of patients, there might be no deficit. It Is true the
N orwalk Hospital does not offer absolutely free service. There 1s supposed to be some pay—
ment from some source on all patients, but. about 75% of all patients pay less than actual
cost to the hospital.- For the year ending Oct. 1, 1921, the hOSpital made: a total profit on pri-
vate and semi-private patients of $1, 7 89 00. The following paid to the hospital less than act.
ual cost. Remember, the figures 1n the second Column are for patients’ days, by which jg f i
meant, the total number of days patients were in the hospital:

The deficit for any one has never been so much as this. To offset these figures 7 es «
