A hearing on the application of C. H. Pellett of Danielson for permission to operate a fitney line between Danielson and this city was held Friday forenoon in the Willimantic police court robm by James W. Alsop of the public utilities commission. Citizens of _ Danielson, Brooklyn, Hampton, Clark's Corner and this city were heard and all were in fa- vor of the line, which they said would be a great convenience. There wis no opposition to the project. Commission- er Alsop said that motices of the hear- ing had been sent to the New Haven raiiroad, the Comnecticut Company and to the officialg of the borough of Brook- lyn and Danielson and town of Hamp- ton. He called for remarks from the opposition but no one responded. “There is little doubt but that such a line is needed by the people- of these towns,” remarked Commissioner Alsop, at the close of the hearing, which lasted thir- ty4five minutes. Attorney Elbert L. Dar- ble of Killingly and Attorney William A. King of this city apeared for the pe- titioner and the city of Willimantic, re- spectively. The majority of the commit- tee of business men of the city selected to attend the hearing a few days ago was present The petitioner described the route as mapped out to start from Danfelson, passing through E Brooklyn, to and over Hampton Hill, through Clark’s THOUGHTSHERAD HEART DISEASE “FRUIT-A-TIVES” Made Complets Cure of Stomach Trouble MRS. FRANK W. WALLACE Moultonvyille, Carroll Co., N. H, ®An sccount I read about ‘Fruit. a-tives’ or Fruit Liver Tablets in one of our mewspapers prompted to ‘ try this remedy. I was all run down and work was burdensome owing to Indigestion and Fullness, duc to gas on my stomach which caused me to belecha good deal. My heart seemed to be affected. It was two years ago that I wasin this sondition and began the use of *Fruit-a-tives’. Iveu though the trouble had been of a few years staading, the use of ‘Fruit-a-tives’ proved the very remedy I required. 1 was freed of the Indigestion, which I attributed to my heart; and I can conscientiously recommend ‘Fruit- stives’ as a remedy of merit”.

Headquarters for the line hers wonid be at Tumer's. He told of the necessity of the line, having talked with many persons in the towns mentioned. He also conferred with the school com- mittees In the several towns in regard to transportation Of pupils. Mr. Pellett an- swered many questions asked by Com- missioner Algop and Attorney Darbie about the proposed line and accommo- dations. It was brought out that there would be four trips dafly between Dan- ielson gnd Willimantie. The leaving tima from Danielson® would .be 7 and 10.30 a. m., 1 and 3.45 D. m. and from this city § a. m., 12.15, 3 and 5.45 . m. The fare would be one dollar for the through trip. The fare from Willi- mantic to Hampton would be fifty cents, to Clark's Corner 35 gents and to North Windham 20 cents. Rates for interma- diate points between Hampton and Dan- felson were also given. It was pointed out that due to the fact that the state highway between Hampton and Brook- Iyn is not yet completed, the line would not be started much befors August 20 or September 1. There remians a little over a mile of the road to he completed. Mr. Pellett said that the service would be most satisfactory, that the schedule would be carrfed out to the letter, that the passenger rates would be reason- able and that the school children would be well taken care of. The saveral oth- ers who were heard told of the nec- essity of the 'bus line. In Brooklyn the people were a long distanes from both steam and trolley lines and busi- ness was lost on account of pgor connec- tions with the Boston and New York ex- presses. It was a hardship on people of small means to get out of Brooklyn and with the 'bus line, it would be a great convenlence to them. C. F. Ral- ston. chairman of the Danielson Board of Trade said that it would bring busi- riess to that borough from the Brooklyn and Hampton districts. Captain James B. Fullerton, H. Clin- ton Lathrop and James P. Bath, local Dbusiness men, spoke in favor of the line both from a business and pleasure standpoint. - First Seleciman John H. Fitts sald that it would be a great con- venience to Hampton people. As the matter stands now the New Haven rail- road runs but two accommodation trains through Hampton a day each way, one in the early morning and the other late in the afternoon. Patrick Navin, of Clark’s Corner, said that it would be a fine thing for that village as the children from there would arrive in Wlllimantic in time for school, Others who were heard and approved of the line were Herbert Barnett of Dan- felson, Warren Rood, William H. Clew- ly and O. F. Atwood, of Brooklyn. Commissloner Alsop- sald that there was little doubt but that the line was needed, He asked Mr. Pellett several questions and then sald that the adop- tion of the time table and fares would, of course be up to the public ntflities commission if the line was permitted to operate. He believed in that event that the line should be operated a month at the least to find out If it patd er If changes from the arrangements now in view were necessary. The hearing end- ed at 11.05 a. m. Commissioner Alsop secmed to think that when the commis- slon held a meeting at an early date a certificate would be granted the peti- tioner, : At & meeting of Mansfleld Center Con- gregational church Thursday evening the resignation of the pastor, Rev.
