PAONESSA OBJECTS TO
 INCREASE IN BUS FARE
Believes Riders Who Want Transfers Should Pay
 for Them

An increase from six to seven cents in bus fares which it Is pro- posed to make effective on all local lines, is opposed by Mayor A. M. Paonessa and he has asked the Public Utilities commission to post pone a hearing on this matter sched- uled for Friday morning.
 Bus operators plan the inaugura- ton of a transfer system on their l. lines if the commission sanctions the increase in fare, but the mayor feels only those who wish to avail them selves of the transfer privilege should be called upon to pay an extra fee.
 When the application comes up for hearing he will suggest that the present system be kept in force, but those desiring transfer privileges be required to pay one or two cents more, depending upon the amount of additional revenue the commis' sion feels is necessary to carry SUCH an accommodation.
 The jitneurs' application wal brought by Nair & Nair on behal' of local operators, Notice of lt' assignment for hearing Friday Wa received by the mayor today and h' at once transmitted 10 the F. L. C. his objections.
 The mayor feels time should b' allowed for consideration of thl |question by tue common council For that reason, he suggests hear ing during the week of January 2' as the common council will be Il session January 20. A change o such magnitude, affecting as 1t doe the entire system of bus transporta ton in New Britain, should be snp iectcd to thorough review by th clty's governing body, the mayo said today in explanation of his re quest for a postponcment.
