He holds that neither the common council of New Lon- don nor the street commissioner of Nor- wich has the right to interfere with the ‘buses after they have been licensed by the state. Mr. McGuire will seek an. injunction from a judge of the superior or common pleas eourt to restrain the officials of the city of New London or the authorities of Norwich from interfering with the busi- ness of the 'busmen.

Preparations were made Tuesday, under the supervision of Rob- ert W. Perkins of Norwich, receiver of the company, and a force of more than 50 men. It is claimed that the company will get $30,000 for the old rails. The Shore Line Trolleys from Chest- er to New Haven dand Saybrook to Flanders ceased operating on July 16, 1919, following a strike of conductors and mortorment for increased wages. The company was unable to meet the demands of the men, because the road failed to produce sufficient mofiey to pay running expenmses. The late Mor- ton F. Plant was identified with the company, and it was n osecret that for some time he himself made up the de- ficiency each year, so that the company could continue as an accommodation for summer residents of the many shore places: along Long Island Sound. After the strike, however, the com- pany passed into the hands of Receiver Robert W. Perkins and service for the towns east of the Tames River. in ad- dition to those from -New London west to Flanders, has since been maintained.
