Public Utilities Board Pushes Tax Parity for Jitneys and Trolleys
The Public Utilities Board recommends taxing jitneys the same as trolleys and licensing Connecticut company buses. The Connecticut Railway and Lighting Company paid a record dividend of 770,404, the largest for any railway or public utility, while the Connecticut company paid no dividend in the past year due to lease obligations for C R and L lines. The report supports arguments to separate the Connecticut company system into parts to reflect leased operations.
