 In the application for the charter I rights to operate a bus lima MT. 0'Brien and Mir. Carone asked for permission to operate as far as the Connecticut Massachusetts state line on the College highway. However, the charter for the operation only as for as Simsbury was granted due to the fact that there is already a bus line serving the territory above Simsbury.
 It was unofffcialy reported today that the application for a charter by MasDonncll Brothers of this city to operate bus line between Bristol and Hartford had been turned down The reason for the refusal to grant the charter was given as the fact that the proposed bus line would conflict too greatly with steam and trolley service.
