which he said that the people ot the town favored the line.
 Attorney Whittlesey aaid that tNe company could not object to the line if there were restrictions. He said that for two miles the line parallels the line of the Shore Line company and that it Is in competition with the best part of the line. The attorney declared that he was not trying to stop service to Mi antic but he felt Bisconti should op- crate express service to Mossbroker's corners and that he should maintain a minimum charge of 25 cents.
 Bisconti, through his counsel, agreed to this provision
 Applications of Charles W. Elliott, Edward J. Burke, Michalo Baldelli, En- rico Parsini, Samuel Shapiro and An tonio Caldrelio all of New London, for permission to operate jitney lines to Ocean Beach, were next considered.
 Commissioner Alsop said that the commission would first consider the route which the applicants wished to adopt and the desirabIlity and necessity for the service. He suggested that all the men might later agree to form some sort of an association and agree to op- crate the line jointly and that there would be no necessity of holding sep arate hearings on the applications. | Mir. Elliott was questioned as to the route to the beach and he said that it was the one designated by the court of common council about a year ago. He handed the commissioners a petition with a large number of signatures of residents of the Ocean avenue section calling attention to the necessity for the line.
 He said that the fare was 10 cents | to the beach and that the running time was Is minutes, the distance being about four miles. To question from Com missioner Elwell, MT. Elliott, who was a former trolley car motorman in this | city, declared that he had never seen jitnye service or trolley service, either sufficient to take care of the traffic to Ocean Beach in the summer time, in order to handle the business right.
 Alderman Ghappell at this point stated to the commission that the city a year ago had restricted the number of jitneys to be operated to Ocean Beach at three each on Pequot and Ocean avenues routes and that the city felt that this limit should be observed.
 Superintendent Anderson of the Con necticut Co. was called to the stand and he gave figures of a check which was taken last Sunday of passengers who rode on trolleys and jitneys to Ocean Beach. He said that the check showed that the jitneys carried 2,107 passengers and the trolley cars, 4,428.

was that of Michele Baldelli of Stuart avenue, Ocean Beach, for permission to run a jtney line from the Parade in Now London to the submarine base.
 Baldelli stated that he had been op- erating a public service jithey line be- tween this city and the submarine base for the past year, using three buses. He has been operating on a regular schedule adopted by the morale depart ment of the submarine base. It takes 15 minutes to make the trip and the line does not compete with the trolley. Bal delli said that he charges 20 cents sin gle trip but he sells communication tickets for 15 cents each He operates two White cars and one Mack machine, with total capacity of 73 passengers. The applicant said that he had never been arrested or lost his license and that he had never met with any serious acci- dents If necessary he would enlarge the schedule. He said that his was the only jtney service between New London
