 Mrs William H. Rogers
 Mrs Elizabeth A. Rogers, a former Waterville resident, and the widow of the late William H. Rogers, died yesterday at her home, 250 Columbia boulevard.
 Mrs Rogers was born in Water- town 82 years ago, the daughter of Colonel William B. and Martha Smith Hotchkiss Her father was well-known for many years as the town stage before the railroad was constructed.
 For many years she resided in Waterville, where her husband was connected with the old American Pin company. She was a member of St Pauls Episcopal church at that time but later transferred her membership to Christ chapel.
 Surviving her are two sons by a. | previous marriage, William c. l Guernsey and Howard Guernsey.
 The body has been removed to | the Stewart funeral home where l Rev Samuel A. Budde, rector of Christ chapel, will conduct services | at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. The burial will be in Evergreen cemetery, Watertown.
 FairmOunt Bus Service Assured
 The public utilities commission at a special hearing held at Hart ford yesterday, granted the peti- tion of the Connecticut company to run a bus line from Waterbury to the Fairmount section of Wa terville. Connecticut company of- ficials were supported by a com mittee of three, Irving Tucker, Clifford Jones, and Franklin War ren, from the Fairmount Commun- ity club.
 The down town terminus of the bus line will be at Leavenworth street and Grand street, for a time, at least. The route will be over West Main street and Thomaston avenue to Huntingdon avenue, thence across the bridge to Co., lonial avenue as far as Pembroke avenue. A limited service will be in effect, probably from 6:OO to 500 a. m. and from 100 to S:O0 p. m.
 The residents of Waterville street had hoped to- see the route established over that thoroughfare feeling that more people would be served and that the line might be more profitable to the operators. There is strong probability that that route may eventually be adopted. The Connecticut com pany officials desire, first, to study the Thomaston avenue results. A little later when state highway construction will start on the lat ter street it will be necessary to use Waterville street as a detour and the opportunity of study re- suits there will be provided. The final decision. will then be made concerning the regular route of the proposed bus line.
