F. Carpenter of Putnsm.
 The series of petftions to which sigma n1res of residents of towns and villages all through this section have been ap- pended contain the names of hundreds of percons who are fearful that the Pellett service will be guspSnded by order of he commission.
 Ar. Pellet occupies a strong position wfch the pubhe mere 50, perhaps, than almost any bus line operator in the state. When the trolley company suspended service following the strike of two years ago next July and the pUblic was left without transp0rtaSton in the local and sub-local hebd- he established a regular and dependable service, running busses seven days a week on fixed schedules providing frequent service and has since maintained b-through all kinds of going, EEnrner and winter, whether business Was good or bad.
 The busses have never figured in a seri0Us zcetdent, have been carefully op- eraoed and have furnished the means of Eetting frum peacs to place when all oth- CT uut4ic trEAspsK1ztion, excepting by sttney drivers VAs suspended.
 This accounts for the loyal support that Mr. PeIiett is now getting from upwards Df 2.eoo Of patrons who have signed pc titiona asking that he be not denied the right 10 continue a business that repre- cents an investment of many thousands pf dollars.
