peaIs to P. u. c.

Edwin Hathaway of this city, who
does business as the Hathaway
Express has presented q test case
before the public utilities commits
sion, as to whether a common carr
rier who has established his truck
Ing business may expand into other
fields without showing public con-
venienCe and necessity. ~
Hathaway was general trucker
before December 81, 1884 and had o.
carrier permit which was issued TO
him. However, last summer he con-
verted a beer truck into a tank
truck and started TO haul gas0linc.
The newly-formed Connecticut
Petroleum Carriers association pro-
tested to the commission that he had
no right to encrouch upon their
field. The commission has reserved
decision on the proceedings.
Some of the permits issued BY
the commission restrict common
CARRIERS to a single commodity or
class of commodities, while others,
including the Hathaway permit,
there are no restrictions relative
to this.

PLENTY OF SNOW
DURING JANUARY

Boston, Dec. 16.-UP)--N Eng
landers may expect January to bring
more than normal snowfall. with
temperatures generally above nor
NAL and no lengthy cold wages, ac-
cording to q long-range forecast to-
day by E. b. Rideout, meteorological
for station WEEP.
While brief cold spells would
come at the beginning and close Of
January, Rideout predicted, the
thermometer should hover consid-
erably above normal for most of the
month. He expected precipitation
to be mostly snow, however, in
northern New England, with con-
siderable rain In southern sections.

Travellers leaving New England
during January, he said, should ex-
pect to find states west of the Mis-
sissippi more than normally, cold,
with freezing weather possibly ex-
tending as far south as the Western
and Central Gulf states. Dry
weather, ne expects, will continue
over the Plains states west of the
Mississippi to the Rockies. Heavier
than normal precipitation probably
will be rain east OF the Mississippi
TO the Atlantic coast south of New
England, he forecast.
