When asked relative to his attitude Don tbe report of the Mayors Com mission on the trolley-jitney situation ] President Storrs of the Connecticut SCompany said this morning: l nave the report before me now and nave ynot as yet had time to examine IL l thoroushly Until I have given 1t :. careful study will not be able to give any definite statement as regaros my battitude on the matter"
 [ eff the trolley company does not immediately resume it's service in this bctty now without waiting even for the krassage of an ordnance by the alder linen it will show that they do not 1n- tend to cater to the wishes or the peo- ple of this city and are not iooklne kout for the best interests of the trolley company" said Percy T. L&chf1eid' lchairman of the Mayors Traffic Conn., kmisston, which submitted its prelimi- knary report to Mayor Wilson yester- kday.
 ..I believe, however. that the troneys twill be running in this city by Labor EDay. as President Storrs has express led to the commission a desire to CO., Eoperate with it and also to resume seervice at once.
 \ .~rhe report which we have made rAnd my kuO"ISuSo uiAdS eAAO NNAN~A twill pass an ordinance embodying the recommendations of the report are ssufffcfent inducement to the Connech- scut Company to resume"
 s.It will take about a week after the hpr~aer is issued by the trolley officials sto get the cars and tracks in readi- mess for the resumption of service ana I believe that within a week but sure t1y by Labor Day the people of the Er,ity will see trolleys on all the old troutes."
 '-The fares at first will be the same sas are now in force throughout the rest of the state, that is, seven cents within the city limits and six cents flor each additional two miles outside lthe city boundaries"
 .sTvbe traffic commission will be com .peIled to defer making a report on jthe question of fares for about a month in order to go over reports and txlata which will enable them to for lmulate a scale of fares which will hoe satisfactory ito the travelling public tand at the same time give the com- lpany a fair return on money in tvested."
 While the jftney men are satisfied with the routes proposed in the pre- IJiu,inary report of the traffic com1nis- sion which was submitted to Mayor Wilson yesterday afternoon ana they believe that both the trolleys and the ltftneys should be able to operate, il those routes are accepted by the al iderrnen and an ordinance passed pre- tecribing that these routes be used there is considerable doubt as tc whether the trustees of the Connecti- cut company will be satisfied, as the routes proposed will not eliminate the tftneys as was demanded by the ulti
 naturn served on the city before the FtroIleys stopped.
 Harry Frank, president of the Park City Bus association, said today '-The committee has been very fair mt has 11etard all sides and has 1aic out a plan under which both trolley. and tftneys can operate and make mo1ey.
 "The jftney men have always ia vored the operation of the trolleys il the city and hope that they comt back. We believe that both services are needed by the people of Bridge port, and as we have repeatedly stat cd, we were sorry that the trolley ever stopped running.
 '~what we objected to and still ob feet to, is being eliminated.
 we have invested our money in tn, buses We have given such eervic,
