Trudon and Frederick Robert Lloyd—Elks to Give Dinncrs. McDonnell have filed formal notification with the public utilities commission of the | acceptance of the commission's cer- tificate for the operation of a motor | s line between this city and Farm- ington. Busses will start to operate as soon as the new state highway between the Bristol town line and the town of Farmington is complet- ed, and arrangements made with the city council of Bristol as to the route to be followed within the city | limits. A petition is now in the hands of | the city clerk, asking that MacDon- ne'! Brothers be permitted to oper ate from a point at the west end of the Memorial Boulevard, down Main et to South stre over South to West street, up West to Center street, over Center to North Main street to North street and thence on- to Farmington avenue. Action on this petition will undoubtedly be ta- | ken at the city council meeting to be held on Tuesday, January 4, 1927. The original petition of MacDon- nell Brothers asked that a franch be granted from the terminus of the Bristol and Plainville Electric com- pany on North strecet to Central Row, Hartford, but this request was denied by the commission, which elt that at the present time Farm- ington was being care of by the trolley line running | between that town and Hartford. In fact the commission point- most of the travel ed out the Scott's Swamp district was to Bristol and a bus line between Bris- | tol and Farmington should take care of present requirements. The peti- tion for a franchise from Bristol to | Hartford was vigorously opposed at {the time of its presentation by offi- clals of the New Iingland Transpor- tation Co.,, a subsidiary of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Co., who wanted the same privilege for themselves.
