Trolley service both freight and pas senser,: will be suspended on the Dana | ielson Providence line of the Rhode NIs- land company September $, for. an in- definite period. There is4 a possibility that service may never be resumed on 1 the line, but this is not known positive ly.
 Announcement of the suspension of service on the Danielson-Providence line is made in advertisements. which The Rhode Island company has caused to be pu ublished in Providence papers. The same advertisements contain announce ments that service will be suspended on the same date on the .Chepacket-Provi- dence. line and on the sSeasVieW line of i The Rhode Island company.

 The action that has. been taken by 1.-the company to suspead' service has been forecaste6 and dreaded. for several years past.

The chief reT- enue of the road has been from freight. i It is possible, that the Connecticut company may see fit to operate cars be- | tween Danielson and East Killingiy, as it controls the road to the, Connecticut- Rhode Island .borderY east of East Kil- linsiy. This is the best that scan be 1 hoped for after September S. and this cannot be regarded as a real strong hope. for the Connecticut company is having its own troubles in maintaining | trolley service in this section Of < .the state where it is losing money every day.
