 Az there is no loss without some gain, so Danielson may be congratulating it. self over the establishing of a motor passenger service between this place and Providence, this prospect being as a Sc quel to constantly recurring talk of the abandoning of the Providence and Dan ielson trolley line and the poor service now available over that route.
 Representatives of Providence motor transport line that operates many cars between Providence and Pawtucket and Providence, Rocky Point Oakland Beach, Arctic, Centreville, Riverpoint and oth- CT places in Rhode Island were here Tt,Asday gettire i-f7v-,-,t;rn relative to prospective business, routes, etc. What the owners O. tIit proposed line intend to do is to put on fleet of pa latial seven-passenger touring cars, run them on a regular schedule, much the same as trains and trolleys, and fix the fare at s1.25 from Danielson to Provi- dence, which is less than the rail fare at the present time, and the running time for the motor cars would be just over an hour.
 l The men who came here Tuesday were | favorably impressed with the prospects 1 of doing business in this territory and likely will make Danielson their Con- l nectcut terminal, as the route from l this place to Providence is short and di- rect, though the highway is very poor between Danielson and the Rhode Is- l land state line at Little Rest, which 1 again directs attention to the negligence of the state highway department ant the attendant handicap on transporta tion enterprises trying to do business 1T this end of the state.
 The plan of service contemplates run ming cars to Providence every two hour. more frequently if the traffic war rants. Late cars planned for woult make it possible for Danielson peopl, to spend an evening at a Providence theater and still arrive home at mid night or thereabouts.
 Investigation was made on Tuesday O the Connecticut requirements relative t. the operation of public service vehicle: in this state, insurance, drivers licenses and other features that have to be giv en attention before the line can be es tablished.
 The men interested in the projec have been operating public service line out of Providence for several years, an they were favorably impressed by thei visit here on Tuesday.
