PUTNAM

F. & PUTNAM A suggestion was heard here Friday l afternoon that business interests of | this city, through city and town off
 1cials and in cooperation with officials | of the town of Thompson. bring to the attention of the Public Utilities com i mission the condition of electric road transportation service as it is now be- points in the town of Thompson as far north as the Massachusetts line. | It is held here that Putnams inter -ests, from a business standpoint. are | being badly injured by req son of the fact that the crews operating cars south from Webster will not bring the cars as far south West Thomp-
 son. because they will not connect crews to that point. The effect of the total suspension of trolley service be- tween Grosvenordale and West Thompson is to turn thousands of dol lars worth of trade that would natur- | ally come to this city: to Webster a cross the border in Massachusetts. Putnam business interests have com
 plained about this condition. but no remedy has been suggested until this time. E It is held in some quarters that the present break. in the service can, be con strued as an obstruction of traffic and that the Public Utilities commits sion has the power to order the cars operating in Connecticut from Massa- schusetts either to furnish service to West Thompson or entirely suspend opera ton of it's cars on any part of the line in this state Tn case the Massac chusetts company should elect to withdraw it's cars from Connecti- cut. the people here would look to the clear through to the Massa chusetts border. companies formerly in con- trol of the local lines used to do. | At the chapel at Grove Street cem- etery, Friday afternoon. at o'clock Rev. $.
