. COMMISSION AT FARE HEARING
A session not entirely devoid of
fireworks was held by the Public
Utilities Commission at Hartford
yesterday when the hearing as to the
increase in fare put in force by the
Connections Company was resumed.
And most of the fireworks were fur-
nished by Mayor Phillips of Stam-
ford and Chairman Higgins of the
Public Utilities Commission.
In the early part of the hearing
representatives of many of the
smaller cities of the state were heard
with protests against the idea ad-
vanced by Hart rd and some of the
other larger cit es that a system of
separate accounting for each city or
section should be put in force by
the Connecticut Company. Some of
the men stated that they believed
that if such a. system were put into
force the company would withdraw
service from the less profitable lines
in small towns. Representatives
from Hartford questiOned some of
the men as their opposition to the
- system proposed by the larger cities.
During the general discussion
Mayor Phillips asked to be heard
and was refused_by the chairman
who said that he would like to hear
from corporation counsels of the
different cities. Corporation Counsel
Clement A. Fuller asked if there
would be any objection to his yield-
ing his privilege of the floor to
Mayor Phillips and no objection was
then offered. -
“It seems to me that the proposi-
tions being brought forward by the
'larger cities are based on a. wrong
premise." said Mayor Phillips; "Ev-
erything seems to be argued from
the standpoint that it is perfectly all
right for the Connecticut Company
to have a monopoly.
“That is a. wrong premise. I do
not see any reason why the Connec-
ticut Company should continue as a
monopoly. In certain cases where
individuals or firms are willing and
anxious to operate the best of mod-
ern busses at a lower fare than the
Connecticut Company asks it seems
to me that they should be given an
opportunity to do so.

cially for the stockholders of the

has been compelled to give $40,000..-

of Connecticut in the last seven
years without receiving one cent for
it. “In order to maintain the integ-
rity of its trolley properties and pre-
serve the solvency of the Connecti-
cut Company. and incidentally its
own. it has been forced to take out
of its treasury over $4,500,000 in,
cash at a. time when it was sorely
needed", said Mr Buckland. He
protested “against a. continuation of
this confiscatory pollcq" and asked
that there be accorded the Connecti-
cut Company “a. right to earn a fair

made by Mayor Alfred N. Phillips,

"Such an attitude is typical of the
Public Utilities Commission". said
Mayor Phillips. “When the Connecti-

it seems ,to be the attitude of the
Public Utilities Commission to try to
help the company out of it.

heard by the Public Utilities Com-
mission in any way but one that
would not cast reflections on the
Connecticut Company or its monop-
oly.
