PUTNAM SENDS 40 CITIZENS
 TO HEARING ON TROLLEYS
tcOntinued from Page ene)

fContinued from Page 0nel King. representing the Beaehmont Worsted Company, the largest worsted mill in eastern Connecticut. and the Rotarians of Thompson. represented bv John F. Reardon of said Thompson, hereby protest to a reduction of fares on the electric lines in the larger cities to any extent which will mater ially impair the ability Of the Con nectient Company to operate its sys- tenn from the Massachusetts line through North Grosvenordale, Gros- venordale. Mechanicsyille, Putnam, Dayvillc. Killingly, Central Village, and the other towns south to Norwich and New London.
 As one example of conditions as to trolley lines in the Quinebaug valley. Previous to 1914 the cars were taken off and busses were substituted. Pro test was made against the busses and the Commission ruled them out and electric cars began running again. The fare when the busses were taken Off was be from North Grosvenordale to Putnam, and afterwards increased SC that by buying three tokens for 25c the price now equals i6 2-3e from North Grosvenordale to Putnam. and there is no opposition to this, and practically all the people in northeast. ern Connecticut now prefer the cleo tric lines to busses. The increase in trolley fares represents an increase of 66.7es over pre-war prices, and this increase is perfectly satisfactory to the patrons of the line. The advance in price is not in keeping with the price paid for labor. which has in. creased nearly 165ee.
 Respectfully submitted.

 Parties and Communities. about 42

 Hearing.

 was organized a meeting was held to | take action on the bonus bill which was l then before Congress. At this time the Anselm Mayotte Post voted over whelmingly in favor of that bonus bill Later, at the state convention in Hart ford, the representative of the post voted against state bonus, but not against a national bonus. However, 1 the impression. false as 1t was. gained ground in Putnam that in spite of the posts large vote favoring a national bonus, it's representative Co the state convention had voted contrary to the posts wishes on the national bonus. 1 The result was that a large section of the membership of the post withdrew from Legion activities and since that time has taken no part whatever m the i life of the post.
 Against State Bonus
 Captain Armstrong declared himself absolutely opposed to a state bonus and wanted the present State Aid fund left untouched, and illustrated very vividly the excellent work which is be ing accomplished for the disabled through the splendid manner in which this fund is being used
 In regard to the local situation Cap tain Armstrong thought 1t was deplor- able that there should be a misunder- standing causing split in the local ranks. ft was explained to him by i Commander J. J. Whitehead of the To- ca post that if his Commander Whiteheads ss1 position on the bo- unalterahle opposition. stands in the way of harmony in the local post. that the Putnam commander would willing l ly resign and leave the position open Co one who on the question of the be- nus bill might be more representative of the majority of the members and | former members of the post. Com mander Whitehead also reminded the post of the fact that he had accepted i the post of commander most unwilling l ly and would give way to a successor at any time, believing that another might well give more time and atten- 1 ton Co the reorganization work which the local post so badly needs.
 To Have County Officers
 Captain Armstrong explained to the post the purpose of his weeks visit to | the posts throughout this section of the county. He will visit all posts here in this section of the state and conclude his visit with a meeting at Willimantic on Sunday afternoon next when it is hoped that a county organ l ization of the Legion will be effected. I In this county there will be two diyis- i ions. one eentering in the posts in 1 Putnam and the surrounding towns. ana n similar one for the Willimantic district.
 Captain Armstrong's visit was dis tinctly interesting to the Legionnaires and those who heard his excellent in- formal talk were convinced that he was leading the Legion out of the dol drums which have beset 1t during the past two or three years, and into field of large and progressive aeeomp- l lishment.
