haye that when the running of the bus E known He all iu the village of Goodyear it will prove popular line.
 The reaction ln panielson was i'm mediate Many harsh ihines we're said "Wednesday morning, about the Connecticut Company providing ser- Wee that would take kilhngty neeple away from killpgly. However. in fairness to all concerned, the Daniel son correspondent tn the Norwich Bulletin. after stating at length the peeved attitude uf his fellow towns men toward the sportntion com pany. suggests that possibly the Put nam Chamber of Commerce was a bit more farsighted and actively per sistent in procuring transportation than was the nanielson Chamber f Commerce. the article concluding as follows:
 Now as to another side of the pie ture and other angles of Wednesdays discussions. Here arises another question. How hard did the Danielson Chamber of Commerce or it's designA- ted committees try for such a service between Danielson and Goodyear as the Connecticut Company has granted between Goodyear and Putnam, city outside the limits of killingly2 There was no adequate answer Co that ques= tiou Wednesday, Chamber of Com meree members were hazy us Co just how much pressure had been put nn the Connecticut Company Go give a Goodyear Danielson service. not 10 mention q Danielsan- East kiliingiy service. which latter proposed service remains entirely out af the picture. No one could be found who would say positively that the Connecticut Com pany had been urged iusistuntly. and With faots 8HH figures e suhstantiate representations. te establish q Bauiel- son- Goodyear service Ia | word the average business man here was uot at all sure that all had been done that might have heen done tp protect for Danieisen one If its valuable business feeders as to getting adequate trans nortation service between the two communities.
 Putnam Sits Pretty
 Met results of all the discussions a fine razzing for the Connecticut Com pany and a questioning tongue about the Chamber of Commerce. Putnam may well enjoy laugh at Daaieison'ss expense It has earned lt pretrllys. and. apparently, more or less easily
 ''The nub of the situation seems Co be this: If the Connecticut Company can furnish a putnam-GOodyear ser- vice, it will look mighty sour saving No to a we'll haekedu demand for a Danielson Goodyear service There ia no nourfqhmqnf for the COnnectir irf4t Company in making a community ike Dnnielson feel tRat t is being dis- eriminated against in favor of a com munity that happens to be it's good neighbor but none the less lts keen competitor. The Connecticut Company. 1t may be assumed, does not want the enmity of the business interests of any town its serves. If 1t has erred, it may be induced to compensate for it's error"

NO RUSH TO GET
 TEN PER CENT DIVIDEND

Receiver George NJ. Coffin and his assitants, Miss Helen Sharpe and Miss Ruth Pratt, began the distribution of cheeks Co creditors of the First National Bank, Mon day morning. The cheeks repre- sent a third dividend of ten per cent. making total dividends of sixty-five per cent declared since the bank failed.
 As was the case when the pay ments of previous dividends he- gan there has been no rush to get money by those entitled to it. In fact the creditors appeared, and have appeared, much more slowly than is wished. This does not bear out the general belief that there is a lack of ready cash in Putnam
 The dividened will amount to Si77. .000 and it is estimated that Sf00,000 of the amount will re main in Putnam and vicinity.

 Chamber of Commerce Active
 The new service was brought aDeue through the persistent activities of the Putnam Chamber of Commerce Al a meeting of the directors some weeks ago it was suggested bY one of the members that there was good sized weekly payroll being distributed in Goodyear and that the people Of the village were anxious to have some way of getting out of the village t0 do their trading \ lengs shy discus. sion followed as te the possibility of the Chamber arranging for trarsrar tation so that some of the money might be spent in Putnam.

 As result of this interview 1t was emphasized that. on account Of the limited number of busses the company now has. it would now be impossible to furnish the village transportation Saturday nights. as was desired, but it was suggested that the request for transportation might be granted on some other night.
 The stores in Putnam are open Wednesday nights and it was decided to ask that transportation be afford ed on that evening This request was aeeeded to and the first trip Wal made Wednesday night.
