The trustees are agreed that the case of Salem, Mass, where the community was given the choice between the trolleys and the utneys, is the only way effectively to deal with the competition between the two forms of transportation. ''If the community prefers jitney service, well and good. We have no feeling against such action, but will be governed accordingly and re- move a form of transportation that is second choice. For three to four years jitney competition has caused the Connecticut Co. serious loss and the trustees feel it is only sane busi- ness to settle the issue with the com munity involved-''

On prohibition the subcommittee remained largely at sea- All sugges- tions for a wet plank which would declare for repeal of the 18th amend ment or annulment of the Volstead d enfor law were said to have been virtually thrown overheard by tacft consent in the subcommittee, but the fight for a beer and wine plank on one hand and some sort of a prohibition declaration on the other was reported still in progress. Secre- tary of State Colby, according to re- ports, slipping out from closely sealed quarters, was favorinS a beer and wine provisions. The report was accorded significance because. of his recent conference with President Will son.

145 CALLS IS
 JUNE RECORD 50 Per Cent. of Them Due To Motor Acci-
 dents.

The city ambulance has answered cording to the record book at the City Dispensary. which is an increase over last months calls by 25; 120 calls having been answered during the month of May.

Fifty per cent of the calls of the month were attributed to motor acci- dents.

Burns was the most active physician and answered to the most calls while on duty, with Dr. J. A. Maxwell a close second.
 Seven persons suffering with de- mentia were removed to Hillside home for observation by the ambu- lance. The rate for this particular. ailment is unusually high during the past month.

 FOR COMMISSION
Suit Shows How New Thea
 ters Jumped Property Values.

1 How the proposed building of the sJrew Pofi theatres at the corner of tCougreSS and Main streets caused kproperty in that vicinity to increase in fva1De is demonstrated by the action kof George Gardner, real estate Eagent, against Max Buechler for $1, 800 (which he claims is due him for the sale of Buechler's property at 1,477 Main street.
 The complaint alleges that Buechler tgave Gardner the property for sale for S55, 600 and told him to ask S60,OOO so that he could drop if necessary. He then alleges that he sold the property { to Catherine M- Sullivan for $57,OOO and accepted a deposit of S25o.

 In his answer Buechler says that sGfardner agreed with him not to claim any commission if he could get Mrs
 Sullivan to release him from the con- tract and that therefore he is not en-
 titled to anything on the sale.

Asked whether the company had the legal right to discontinue service because it was non-paying, MT. Brainard said the company would not be justified in stopping service some lines serving outlying districts though these did not pay, because this was foreSeen, but that it was an en- tire1y different situation when a local system as the Brid dgeport became a losing proposition through the inter vention of unforeseen, and as the trolley officials believe. unfair compe- tition. He said the justice of discon- tinuing service in such a case was obvious.
 It is expected that the result of the contest in Bridgeport will be the sig nal for other cities to take action to solve the question of jitney competi- ton. Otherwise the Connecticut Company will institute action in New Haven next and then in Hartford.

It was thought by some. however, that a nominating speech should be delivered in fairness to the delegates who, if no mention were made of McAdoo during the nomin- ating speeches might be in the dark as to his position in the convention. No effort was made to get in touch with McAdoo but it was not thought he would make further protest against the plans of his friends. They were generally agreed that no further statement of any kind would be forthcoming from him until after the convention nominates candidate.
 The total McAdoo strength on the first ballot, according to the latest estimates of his supporters will ap- proximate 300 votes. Some say it will not be more than 250 while oth- CTS insist it will run over 800.
 Thus far the McAdoo men said they had suffered only one detection. The Maryland delegation, which had been counted in their column, will cast it's first votes for John w. Da- wis, according to information given out early today. The McAdoo SUD- porters said they expect Maryland's votes to return to them after a few ballots.
