PUTNAM

An all-inportant meeting ana hAaring -one that may. decide the fate of either the trolley or bus lines in this territory -is scheduled to be held in the superior court room in this city next Wednesday afternoon by the public utilities commits sion
 At this hearing representatives of town and city governments in the territory served by local trolley and bus liness are privileged to be represented, as are rep rese1tatives of the Transportation lines individuals who may be in a position to contribute any information that would tend to aid in determining whether all or part of the territory now served by competing transportation lines would be better served by eliminating the bus lines
 The question is a big and important one, as the situation now stands, and public opinion is distinctly divided on the subject.
 While the loss of the trolley lines run ming from North Gfesvenerdale to Gen. tral Village would be regarded generally as a decided misfortune, the fact rema ihs that the trolley lines are not getting the bulk of the patronage, and the reason for this, in large measure, is because the trolley service through this section is h6pelessly inadequate. while the bus service is frequent and dependable. It was fofecasted on Friday that the trolley road will be without the tervid support it might receive from some quar- ters in seeking to eliminate, insofar as
 would be reasonable, the bus cempeti- tion if the trolley service were more
 adequate than it has been for a period of several years through this territory
 over what is known as the Putnam di- vision.
