Pellett an swered many questions asked by Com missioner Alsop and Attorney Daroie about the proposed line and accommo- .dations. It was brought out that there would be four trips daily between Dan- ielson and Willimantic. The leaving time from Danielson would . be ' and 1aso a. m. 1 and 3.45 D. rn., and from this city a. m. 12.15, and 5.45 D. m. The fare would be one dollar for the through trip. The fare from Willi- mantle to Hampton would be hfty cents to Clark's Corner 35 cents and to North windhann 20 cents Rates for interne- diate points between Hampton and Dan-- ielson were also given. It was pointed out that due to the fact that the state highway between Hampton and Brook lvn is not vet completed, the line would not be started much before August 20 or September 1. There ren1ians a little over a mile of the road to be completed.
 Mir. Pellett said that the service would be most satisfactory, that the schedule would be carried out to the letter, that the passenger rates would be reason able and that the school children would be we'll taken care of The several oth- CTS who were heard told of the nec- essity of the bus line. Tn Brooklyn the people were a long distance from both steam and trolley lines and busi- ness was lost on account of poor connec- tions with the Boston and New York ex- presses. It was hardship on people of small means to get out of Brooklyn and with the bus line, it would be a great convenience to them c. F. Ral- ston. chairman of the Danielson Board of Trade said that it would bring busi- ness to that borough from the Brooklyn and Hampton districts
 Captain James B. Fullerton, H. Clin- ton Lathrop and James P. Bath. local business men, spoke in favor of the line standpoint First Selectman John H. Fitts said that it would be great con- venience to Hampton people. As the matter stands now the New Haven rail- road runs but two accommodation trains through Hampton day each way, one in the early morning and the other late in the afternoon.
 Patrick Navln, of CIark's Corner, said that it would be fine thing for that village as the children from there would arrive in Wlllinantic in time for school Others who were heard and approved of the line were Herbert Barnett of Dan- ielson, Warren Rood William H. Clew. ly and O. F. Atwood. of Brooklyn. Commissioner AIsop- said that there was little doubt but that the line was needed. He asked MT. Pellett several questions and then said that the adop- tion of the time table and fares would 1 of course be up to the public utilities commission if the line was permitted tc operate. He believed in that event ~that the line should be operated month al the least to find out if it t paid or i1 changes from the arrangements now 1T view were necessary. The hearing end seemed to think that when the commis l sion held meeting at an early date i certificate would be granted the peti tioner.
