Long Tie up of Hartford’s Trolley Lines
Hartford June 15 A five hour tie up of all trolley lines north northwest and east is blamed on the Connecticut Company trying to run inter urban and local lines with its own power. The old railroad man says the gas caused a major mix up in state street railways. The company lost Hartford Electric Company power when the contract expired and no renewal was given. Hartford Electric is to power a new railway and the Connecticut Company is building two power stations at Buckland and Rockville. The episode highlights relations among three public service corporations with statewide impact.
