People who have occasion to use the trolley lines to travel between Stam- ford and the Norwalks,=and there is a large number. of them, are disgusted with the servme, or alleged service, to be- more accurate, furnished by the Norwalk Tramway Company. The Myrtle avenue cars of this city, which connect with the Norwalk line at the? Cove, at scheduled intervals, can be relied upon, but no reliance whatever can be placed on the cars, or rather car on the Norwalk line. A wait of a half an hour at the Cove to make connections is not an infre- quent occurrence and to say that it is exasperatingly annoying is using a mild term. . The patrons of the road are becom- ing disgusted with this sort of treat- ment at the hands of the Tramway Company and if it continues, they will refrain from using the route and patronize the steam road. Under the circumstances they would'be justified in doing so. Travelling by the railroad is from of dust and jais than the trolley cars, but aboveall, is freer from that tough and obstreperous‘ element who conduct themselves most disgracefully on the rear end of trolley cars. To cite an incident, a conduCtor on one of the Norwalk line cars had to shut the rear door of the car the other day to pro- tect the ladies from the obscene re- marks of a crowd of semi-drunken rowdies on the platform. It seems that the Norwalk Co. runs but one car on their Darien division, and they only keep this in service in order to hold their charter. The company complains that the traffic on the line does not warrant more cars. Perhaps if the company im- proved the service, and provided bet- ter accommodations, more people would patronize the road. They might try the experiment at least. If they do not intend to give an adequate service, they should surrender their charter. When good connections can be made, the ti ol ey seivice is most convenient, but wheie a company does not endeavor to run‘its cars to accommodate the pub- lic, the service becomes a nuisance, as the trolley riding people soon learn.— Stamford Telegram. 1 4A; er Returns Submitted.
