Through an order issued oh Thurs day,by the public utilities commission, directing the Central Vermont rail : road to restore to their schedule an early morning train from New Lon don to points north, to take the place of the so-cal1ed boat train, the Nor wich merchants learned that they had won in their concerted fight to compel the road to restore this highly import ant train for mail, express and gen. eral service.

The finding by the commission also orders a south bound train daily, except Sundays, leaving Palmer about Ills o'clock p. m., which is a gratifying action for the Willimantic merchants, who were unted with Norwich and other points north of New London in the protest made before the commission.

 The text of The finding and order issued Thrsday is as follows in the ''mateer of petition of certain business concerns of Norwich and others pro- testing against the action of the Gen. tral Vermont Railway company in dis continuing passenger train formerly leaving Norwich for the north at 5.1G o'clock a. m:
 Petition from Norwich.
 On June 25, 1912, the following peti- tion was received by this commis- sion;
 To the Public Utilities Commission of the State of Connecticut: The un- dersigned residents and business mer of Norwich, Conn, do hereby respect fully ask that you use your best effort: to have the Central Vermont Railway company continue the service of the early morning train north now leaving Norwich about 5.15 o'clock a. m. ,whicl train we understand is to be discon- tinued when the new timetable O. Monday, June 24th. 1912, goes into ef feet.
 The discontinuance of this train ser. vice, which has been in operation fol about fifty years, in our opinion would be a very great hardship upon thu public, especially those residing il Norwich. which is one of the most i'm portant stations on the line In ou, opinion it would injure business verl materially, as well as deprive us of al early morning mail and an early out going mail and the possibility O reaching at an early hour points ol said road and its connecting lines We certainly cannot urge too strongl, early attention and the granting o our request, as in our opinion it is most vital matter, not only with resi- dents of Norwich, but with resident all along the road.
