 The three routes cover total distance
 of about 25 miles.
 This jitney service has been in opera
 tion for the past two years, the principal
 traffic being local service in Putnam, through traffic between Putnam, and
 Dayville. thence to Danielson, and via
 Brooklyn and Wauregan to Central Vil-
 lage, thence to Moosup. Putnam, Elmville, Dayville. Dane1son,
 Wauregan, Central Village and Moosup are connected with and supplied by an existing street railway line, together with branch line extending from Elm- | vile to East Killingly. While the pro- posed jitney routes do not run coincident | with the street railway. they do parallel l the street railway lines, and the jitney
 service receives its patronage, from and transports passengers between points served by the trolley, excepting Brook | lyn- and Attawaugan, which are not served by trolley. 1 This particular street railway, as is 1 known, is owned and now operated by l the Connecticut company, but for a num- l Der sof years and until about June, 1920, l was operated under lease by the Shore | Line Electric Railway company. The | trolley while being operated by, the Shore Line Electric Railway company in July l 1919, was compelled to suspend service I owing to labor trouble, and during such 1 suspension the jitneys, began operation and supplied the necessary service Since
 the trolley resumed service its limited patronage, due partly to labor symps- l thizers and partly to jitney competition,
 necessitated material curtailment of ser ' vice and the limited service now being
 rendered by the trolleys would be inade-
 uuate to supply the requirements in, the
 absence of iitneys. The street railway company, however, has the facilities, is able, and can be compelled to render the
 necessary adequate service, if relieved
 from jitney competition, but will have to
 suspend service entirely north of Central
 Village, if jitney competition is permit ! ted. It is question of trolley or jitney, , as there is nat patronage enough for
 both, and both cannot survive in compe- : tition with each other. 2 No questions were raised concerning
 the qualifications of the applicant in this case. He has maintained a good jitney : service, on an established schedule A
 number of witnesses and petitions were e introduced in favor of the continuance of f the service. On the other hand a num-
 Der lof prominent citizens and the Cham : Der of Commerce appeared in favor of :. the retention of the trolley, with inn
 proved and adequate service.

 e Sorry but not surprised" seemed to be F the phrase that best describes Putnam's r reaction following the outcome of the a big fight Saturday afternon. Because of n large population of French extraction $ the sympathies of the city were strongly n with Carpenter, and the news of the - knockout was received without much en- !, thusasm by the fans who had gathered ' at the telegraph office and bulletin : boards. What little betting had been done n in Putnam showed that Dempsey was 9 generally picked to win. and Carpentiei f money was scarce.
