Skinner Friends—Briefs. Surprised by The returns from the sale of Christmas seals have been very gratifying thus far, according to Mrs. Frank Usher, president of the Plainville Public Health Nursing assoclation, which is conducting the tampaign here. About $300 has been received to date, with more pouring in dally, and it is hoped that the total will go over last year’s amount, which was between $500 and $600. The promptness of those to whom the scals were mailed than 50 answers having been re- ceived within 48 hours of the mail- | ing of the seals. Of the amount received from these labels, 15 per cent is given to the state and the other 85 per cent retained for local work. At present five Plainville people are being maintajned in sanatoria by funds received in this manner. An example of the good work done by the sale of seals is the last case which the association has aided in. )} The patient is a three-year-old girl who is suffering from rickets. She has never been able to walk and moves about by dragging herself on her hands. She has now been sent to an institution and it is hoped by the physicians that the treatment there will enable her to walk within six or elght months. The other cases are fully as pathe- tic and worthy, and the association, with the money received from the sale of scale, is doing wonderful work. The distribution of milk in the schools is considered a part of tu- berculosis relief work, as it 1is almed at the correction of under- weight and undernourishment. Miss Elizabeth Heineman, the local visiting nurse, s now weighing the school children. When all have been examined a report will be made and the association will render such aid as it can to those whose parents are unable to help. At the Tnion chureh sgrvice on Thanksgiving Eve the collection was for the henefit of the association and $17.25 has been turned over from this The members of the nursing association are very grateful for this cooperation from the churches and their congregation. Miss Hefneman is again asking for donations of old clothes for use as pads. Old curtains or any ma- terial which is absorbent will be most satisfactory, but it must, of course, be clean.

Vehicular traffic was little affect- ed by it, automobiles and trolley | cars keeping the snow pretty well | packed down as it fell, while the| ack of wind prevented the forma- | tion of drifts across the roadways. | { The brushers of the Connecticut | Co. were at work throughout the da keeping the rails clear. Al- though coming so soon after the other storm, the present one is just another, because the traces of the former have been efficiently clared away and this fall will not produce a cumulative effect and block travel.

TO HARTFORD DENIED Service Not Required Is Finding of State P. U. C. SCHOOL - COST UP §7,000 cheprey Post Subscribes to Le- gion Forest—Court Ever Welcome and W. R. C. Elect Officers — Clarence Bond Disappears. The application of MacDonnell Brothers of this city for a franchise to operate a bus line between this city, via Farmington avenue, Scott Swamp, and Farmington to Hartford has been denied by the public utili- ties commission, although 1 the finding it is believed that such a ervice is needed betwen DBristol and rmington. Th finding of facts is lin part as follows: “There was no evidence submit- ted that public convenience and ne- cessity require additional ‘service for | through travel between Bristol and Hartford in excess of that which now exists, in the form of steam railroad passenger service nor wa there evidence that public con- venience and necessity require ad- ditional transportation service be- tween Farmington and Hartford which is now supplied hy street rail- way. The applicants conceded the adequacy of existing transporation service between mington and Hartford by stating their intention to operate express through that ter- ritor; The testimony in support of public convenience and necessity re- plated solely to transportation for residents of the Scott Swamp sec- tion from Tarmington avenue in Tarmington to the terminus of the street railway line in Bristol. (The Bristol and Plainville Electric com- pany). “The first question presented is that of public convenience and ne- cessity. As stated before, it did not appear that there was any demand or necessity for additional through transportation between Hartford and Dristol and it was conceded there was no necessity for additional transportation between Farmington and Hartfobd. The evidence applies solely to the Scott.Swamp Road dis- trict and we are of the opinion and | find that it would be it not a neces- | p sity, at least a convenience, to have at territory served by jitney or bus service, but we find that necessity or convenience applies only to that portion of the route known as the Scott Swamp Road district, and that the trend of travel over that tion is almost entirely to and I tol. from In finding convenience for section it does not necessarlly fol- low that there should be superim- | sed upon the public highway be- n Farmington and Hartford, and particularly the congested city streets of Hartford, a public trane- portation traffic which s unneces- sary in the public interest, or that ed to a to operate between istol and Hartford when only that portion near Bristol is intended to be served. As the Scott Swamp Road section develops, however, there may be an increased trend of vel toward Hartford, and for that reason we deem it advisable in the public interest to extend the route to an easterly terminus in Farming- ton connected with the st rail- way system at or near the Farming- ton Inn, thus affording for the Scoft Swamp sectfon public transportation to and from Hartford.” A public hearing on the was held in the City hall city on October 29, 1926, that time the New: Englan portation company, a subsidis the New York, New Haven and Hart- ord Railroad company, presented a petition similar to that of MacDon- nell Brothers. MacDonnell Brothers however, had filed a petition for a franchise over the route in question on March 23, 1925, which wa Iso denled by the public utilities com- mission. At this time MacDonnell Brothers are granted the over the route starting at the end terminus of the Bristol “lainville Electric company in to the Elm Tree Inn in Far gton, should they desire it.
