A. Kimball Granted Leave of Absence—$57,- 000 in Community Chest Fund. The petition of the Waterbury- Milldale Tram Co. for permission to | operate abus line between Water- bury and Hartford via Milldale, Southington, Plainville, Farmington and West Hartford is the source of considerable interest to residents of this city in view of the recent re- fusal of the public utilities commis- sion to grant a franchise between and Hartford by way o Swamp, Farmington Hartford to MacDonnell ers of this city. Permission was, however, granted for the opera- tion of a bus line between Bristol and IFarmington and this service will be started just as soon as the new e road ‘through Scott's Swamp is completed. It is believed locally that many persons would patronize bus service from Plainville to Hartford due to the infrequent train service between this city and Hartford. This would me particularly true, it is pointed out, during the summer time. At the time MacDonnell brothers' peti- was heard, the only re- esentatives of the New York, Ne Haven and Hartford railroad Co. and the Con- necticut Co. The granting of the franchise would tend to diminish the receipts of these two compantes, which would necessitate a further reduction in service, according to the representatives of the trans- portation companles. Permissfon to operats a bus line between Waterbury and Bristol by way of Wolcott has already been granted to the Waterbury-Milldale Tram company by an act passed by the state legislature.

No mention was made regarding the 15th amendment, for the pur- pose of changing which the conven- tion has been advocated in many states. The league gave its reasons as desire to avoid “radical changes in our form of government” and fear that concurrent agitation iIn calling such a convention would be “a menace to the peace, best inter- ests and welfare of the people.” The chambers of commerce and boards of trade of the country were asked to oppose such a convention.
