REPORTS FINDING Template Shop Opened With Ap- plopriate Ceremonies—New Brit- . ain Masons to Attend Sewvice in Berlin—Other Items of Interest, Tt all the commutation traffic be- tween Meriden and Hartford were to preaent itself for carriage it would require equipment far in excess of normal needs, according to the find- ing of the Public Utilities commis- sion, in which it yesterday denied permission to Theodore Wagner and|a motor bus at Robert Dorman of New Britain to operate a bus line between Meriden and Hartford. The finding statéh that 10 busses of the type the appli- rants proposed to use would be re- quired to handle the traffic during the rush hours, too many for nor- mal needs. The report of the commission fol- lows: Very little testimony was intro- Auced by the applicants with regard teo public convenience and nedessity on the through haul between Hart- ford and Meriden, The New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad company operates a fast and fre- quent service between Boston and Rpringlield and New Tork on its main “lines, the Hartford division. All trains operating over. that line stop at Hartford and Meriden, and witis a few exceptions, Berlin also. Service Frequent "The service afforded travelers on the railroad between Hartford and Meriden is very frequent, inasmuch as there are 19 trains daily each way, except Sunday, between these points and well spaced out, so as to ' afford transportation service from carly morning until late at night. The running time between Hartford end Meriden, via the raliroad, aver- ages about 30 minutes, with a fare of 65 cents for a distance of 18 miles. “The applicants propose to oper- ate an hourly service each way from 6 a. m. to 12 p. m, or substantially the same as the raliroad, with - a proposed fare of 65 cents for a distance of 19 miles, and a running stiteh finish. $1.59 reg. $7.00 kin Napkins to BY v vty shades ... you the biggest | ~ Two Clasp that you sand, tan, clasp, browns Pair ... 20 .people, the type the applicants propose to use, would be required to handle the commutation traffic alone. Convenicnt Along Turnpike “The only evidence of public con- venience and necessity comes al- most entirely from people who re- side along the trunk line highway connecting Hartford and Meriden, with the greater part of it hy far from the people who reside along Berlin street, or in the vicinity of o testimony of those residents who @ppeared at the hearing was in substange that it would be more convenient for them in going to and from{Hartford and”Meriden, to em- ploy’a fitney service' passing their doors; than to utilize a street rail- way in their vicinity to take them to the railroad. “The Connecticut Company oper- ates a strect raflway service from Berlin to New Britain on a 20 min- ute headway, and connection is made at Berlin junction with north and south bound trains of the New Haven road, thereby according resi- idents of Berlin a transportation iservice almost on a parity with that afforded residents of Hartford. The 1unning time of the trolley is short, labout 10 minutes. “While, as hefore stated, | be more convenient for some of the | residents along Berlin street to take their doors for Merlden or Hartford, it would prob- ably be not any faster service thin that afforded by the street railway or the railroad, nor would it be any more frequent or cheaper. Necessity Not Disputed “The necessity of retaining and thaintaining steam railroad service between Hartford and Meriden, and along the main line of said railroads was not disputed, and may be ac- cepted as an economic proposition in which not only the people along this route, byt also the people and in- dustries of the state generally are vitally interested, “Any material dimunition of steam railroad traffic flowing between these cities or on the main line generally, would have the Inevitable tendency of reducing railroad service; and, carried to its ultimate conclusion, would affect seriousiy all kinds ot rallroad transportation. “To grant the apphcation would mean, in effect, affording compara- tvely few persons along the tura- pike direct service in and out of Meriden and Hartford at the ex- pense of the probable curtailment f through frain service between Hartford and Meriden, for the in- evitable effect would be taking away some part of the through traffic now adequately served by the rail- it would SPECIALS IN LINEN Cloth and Napkins, all linen with hem- reg. $6.00 kind for $3.75 ea. 63x83 inch, specially priced Glass Toweling, all linen, in red and blue checks, 29¢ kind .

Mrs, Joseph Scott has been con- fined to her home on Savage Hill road for the past two weeks with the grippe. The four nights' fair being held by | the East Berlin Improvement com- pany will come to a close this eve- ning. A mardi gras will be held and during the evening the prizes will be road, which through traffic, as stated before, the railroad needs in | order to carry the commuters’ traf- fic. Some part of the same through traffic would be necessary to a fit- ney service in order to make pos- sible the carriage at a profit of the comparatively few people time of about 50 minutes. Through travel between the points mentioned is heavy, showing on the rallroad period, from July, 1923, to July, 1924, an average of 300 single trip passengers daily, and about 200 commuters, “While the applicants expressed themselves willing to carry commu- ters between Hartford.and Meriden at a lower rate than the regular rate or fare, it seems reasonably certain as a practical matter that they could not carry them at steam railroad gommutation rates. The rate of fare for commuters on the stem raliroad is 20 cents each way. or about one- third of the single trip fare. The bulk of the commuter traffic comes just before ‘the. commencement and after the' termination of business hours. “Assuming the entire commutation traffic between Hartford and Meri- along the turnpike. *“Considering the frequency of the steam rallroad service, the time con- | sumed, its high grade and the rates therefore between Hartford and Meriden, and considering further the general public welfare, we find no public convenience and necessity for jitney service on the route ap- plied for and, the application is therefore, denpied.” Party Big Success, The dedicatory exercises and Hal- lowe'en party held at the template shop of the Berlin Construction company last night was attended by about 300 people and was a huge success. The hall was tastefully decorated with Hallowe'en colors and corn- stalks and other natural emblems of the day.

Exper- fence has taught the officials of Plainville that the extra police guard is necessary on ® night like tonight and all members will be required to spent the night on duty. The selectmen took up the matter of policing the streets and Deputy Sheriff E, W. Furrey will be con- tinued as the night patrolman, ac- cording to a decision reported to have been reached last night. The gathering was a get-together for the selectmen and the members of the constabulary in order that an under- standing complete and clear might be reached. Democratic Rally Held The largest rally of any held in Plainville in recent years was held last evening in Grange hall under the auspices of the democratic party. By actval count there were 108 persons present which exceeds by a large number any other politi- cal rally held in the town in years. The speakers who addressed the meeting were Lawyer Conti of Hart- ford, Harry L. Brooks of New Hav- en, candidate for lieutenant gover- ‘mor; former Congressman Augustine Lonergan of Hartford, Miss Adele Murray of Berlin and Mrs. Louise Day Duffy of, West Hartford, can- didate for the state senate from the fifth district, Mr. Contf dwelt on corruption with which the republican party has bheen charged and he asked the peo- iple to be the jury and to render their verdict on election day. He stated that the conditions in this state were deplorable with regard to the institutions for the care of the weak and feeblo minded and brought out his own personal exper- fences in seeking to have patients taken into these places. Mr. Brooks entered into a scath- ing denunciation of the cabinet of the present republican administra- tion in national affairs. He present- ed the democratic arguments for the state in the early part of his speech. H stated that he had recently geen post cards sent out by the republican party stating that the democratic party had left an indebtedness of $11,000,000 for the republican party to clear up. Mr, Brooks eclaimed |that the republican party was re- | sponsible for that condition. He said | that for the past 33 years the state | of Connecticut has not had a demo- | cratic administration. He said that | |the nearest thing to that had becn when Simeon E. Baldwin had been clected governor. He said that the lieutenant governor had been a re- publican and the senate and house had been republican in the first term and the only change made in the second term had been when the senate was dmoeratic. He said that the governor had no power to pass legislation to make expenditures or to levy taxes hut the republican have and did lay taxes and spend money so that the debts of the state wera increased from $4,000,000 to $11,000,000, He compared the per capita tax of Connecticut with many other states wherein the administra- | tions are democratic and he showed from figures that Connecticut which | is the third smallest state in tha unfon had a per capita tax of £11.50, which is more than double that of dence. An entertainment and a general good time will be enjoyed. Masquerade Dance, Foresters’ Hall, Berlin, Oct. 30.—advt. Radio supplies and service—A. H. Edgerly, Jr., Kensington.—Advt.

He made an excellent plea for Johnstone Vance of New Britain, the candidate of the democratic party (or congress and for the other mem- bers of the state ticket and asked for the support of the people at the polls o next Tuesday. He was followed by "Miss Adele Murray who addressed her remarks mora to the women than to the men. Miss Murray drew a round of ap- plause by the alusion to Rebert M, La Follette, candidate of the third party for president. She said that :‘Am couldn’t believe that he was a enace and she couldn’t believe that a man who has such a record in the United States senate as has Mr. La Follette, could be the men- ace that the republican party is try- ing to paint him. She said that she considered the third party candidate a man of the finest type and a won- derful gentleman, and she stated that she was going to vote for Davis. She said that the women of the state without regard to party should take the fight of the children as their own and urged them to vote the democratic ticket as the only one through which they would hope 10 get child legisiation. Mrs. Louise Day Duffy made a strong plea for support of her can- | didacy. She spoke of the remissness of her opponent fn not fighting against the bill which tended to take away the rights of West Hartford and give them to the Ilegislature, She pledged herself to make her sole interest in the senate the education of the young and asked for support ticket Infant Son Dies Charles Solomon, age eight months, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Solomon, succumbed to pneumonia yesterday afternoon at the New Britain General hospital.
