Financial Los ses Have Lead Road to Curtail Service and Use Old Users of the trolley system, which operates through Rockville Centre, and- who have entered many com- laints over the service, may soon ve more complaints over service. They may be faced with the failure of the system to operate. The rumor is going around that the company, which has called an import- ant conference, must do something to aleviate the present situation. That the company is in financial difficulties} has long been known, but the com- plaining users of the system will have! even greater wails of distress if a de- elsion is reached to discontinue oper- ation.

The two companies operate trolley | lines in Queens anl Nassa« counties,} the Traction Company covering. the| laiter territory with several divisions.) Properties of the companies are valu- e1 at several million dollars each, in- cluding franchises. The cmnpnnies‘ lines are located in popalous ard rap-| ad 7 growmg territories.
