 July 30. 1921.

New Britain, Conn. July 30, 1921. New Britain Herald,
 Dear Editor:
 some months ago the public utili- ues commission gave a hearing in our council chamber to hear arzu- n1ents for Or against the jitneys. mere were representatives from all walks of life, manufacturers, bankers, etc. all in favor of the Jltney, the only opposition coming from the trolley company representatives
 1T the hearing was held for the purpose of ascertaining whether the people wanted jitneys and it was clear " snown that they did. why did the public utilities commission, the pub- nc servants, paid by the people to LOOK out for their interest, refuse to consent to their wishes?
 Why should the titneys be deprived or ma king livelihood and the people or our city from getting better trans- portation for one-half the cost?
 why should the trolley company go on doing as it pleases, giving poor service and charging twice as much as it should? 1t is left unmolested "A'1Ae the J1tneyman, IT ne tries to glVe better service for one-half of the trolley fare, is arrested and fined. Why doesn't the trolley company fight It's own battles? Two words will kill the 1itneys (service--five-ce cent fares). How much longer are the. people going to endure the inconsistency of the trolley company? There is one thing that probably you will not hear any more about and that is that they were paying for paving on streets where trolley cars are operating. It is different now gentle reader the ciu- zens of the City of New Britain will have to pay for it. The trolley com pAny owns the road but we are com pelled to pay for the pavement.
 The mayor of our city with the cooperation of acting corporation counsel and the com mon council are putting up fight with the P. U. com mission. If the utilities commission refuses to give us a hearing, then, believe that we should appeal to the governor. Are you with us? Respectfully yours. .--...-.-.- ANGELO M PAoNEssA.
