ARGUMENTS HEARD ON BUS SERVICE
C. R. & L. Company's Plan Meets With Opposition;
 Decision Pending

Commissioner Joseph A. Alsop of the public utilities commission to- day studies the arguments he heard yesterday at Hartford relative to the petition of Connecticut Railway & Lighting company for permission to operate over a new bus route through Overlook. The plan has met with opposition from the Over look residents and from the Cooke street Bus Line.
 Two bus loads of Waterville resi- dents, who are in favor of the bill, attended the hearing. The c. R. & L. provided their transportation. Att torney Patrick Healey represented the Cooke Street Bus Line and John A. Kurtz of White street, repre- sented 2 persons who signed a peti- ton opposing the new route. Several individual letters of protest were filed and H. H. Smith presented an- other petition signed by most of the residents of upper Pennington avenue.
 Engineers of the commission have studied the cost of paving the only trolley right of way, and found that it would be $10000. Giles R. Ander- son. agent for the owners of most of the property along the right of way wrote that the owners are will ing to waive more rights to the c. R. & L. to run busses there.
 Alderman 0. Arthur Dubois argued that the aWteryille residents are entitled to better bus service. Attorney Healey contended that If h 0. R. & L. is allowed to duplicate the route of the Cooke Street line, the latter will be forced out of busi- ness,

REVENUERS SEEK
 DONATIONS DATA
Labor Heads to Forward Statement of COmpensa=
 ton Fund Contributions

Hartford, June 17.-Commissione Joseph M. Tone stated today that the labor department has been asked by federal bureau of internal revenue officials to forward prompt ly to Washington statement of contributions made after April l, 1897 to the unemployment com pensation fund by liable Connecti- cut employers with respect to the year 1886.
 The request came as conse- quence, the commissioner explained, of the recently passed Revenue Act of 1888, Section BIO of which pro- videS for an extension of the dead line for 1886 federal excise taxes levied on employers of eight or more, from April l, 1887, to and in- cluding July 26, 1888.
 Section BIO, he said, is of particu- lar interest to employers of eight or more who failed to make their contributions to the fund for 1886, prior to April l, 1887. That date illdi hCd bilC ClNNoC ol iNi AoA with respect to federal returns, cov- ering the calendar year 1886 re- quired of employers under Title TX of the Social Security Act.
 To receive a credit of 90 per cent of the federal tax on account of contributions made to the Connec- ticut fund with respect to 1886, en- ployers were required to make such contributions before April l of last year. Because of misunderstanding of Social Security provisions by many taxpayers, a number of em- ployers of eight or more were late in making their contributions to the state, he said.
 AS result, the 90 per cent credit returns under the law as 1t existed could not be allowed in the federal prior to passage O. the Revenue Act of 1888. All refunds must originate with the Internal Revenue Depart ment of the federal government and in no case will they be paid by the state, MT. Tone emphasized.
