Naugatuck, April 21-Although the state public utilities commission has approved extension of the Naug- atuck-WaterbuIy bus route of the Connecticut Railway and Lighting company to cover Straitsville, the c. R. and L. company will not start the service in Straitsville until con- ditions improve at the Peter Paul Candy company factory on the New Haven road, Charles M. Chapman, manager of the Waterbury division of the company told The Democrat this morning.
 MT. Chapman explained that since the application for extending the route to give more bus service to residents of the New Haven road section was made, business condi- tions at the Peter Paul company have become such that now the plant is operating on a three-day a week shedule, six hours day.
 MT. Chapman said this means that most employees would not ride to work added that after 8 confer ence with officials of the company, 1t was felt advisable to delay start ing of the service until conditions at the factory improve.
 This announcement comes as 8 surprise. Official word was received here today by Warden John J. Sher- idan that the utilities commission had approved the application of the c. R. and L. company. The extended route would permit operation from the intersection of South Main street, and Riverside drive here southeasterly over the New Haven road (route 63) to the intersection of this road and Clark road, a total distance of about three miles.
 More bus service had been sought by residents of Straitsville and by employees of the Peter Paul factory. The New England Transportation company now makes three round trips daily through that section, but 1t was felt by the residents this was not sufficient. A hearing was held before the utilities commission in Hartford on April ' and the vice president and manager of the Wa terbury division of the c. R. and L. spoke in favor of the application. There was no opposition.
 Asked Temporary Permit
 In view of the possible develop ment that patronage on these trips would not warrant their permanent continuance, the applicant asked permission at the hearing to operate over this extension for an experi- mental period of six months, and the commission found this request reasonable. The commission also held that public convience and necessity require the extension of the present motor bus route of the applicant and granted the applica- ton for operation for six months trial period. This operation may be stopped by the c. R. and L. conn., pany at the end of six months with the approvel of the commission if patronage is not enough to warrant continuance.
 Several months ago public meet ing of those interested was held in Beacon Valley Grange hall,a com- mittee was appointed and the ad- ministration here cooperated in the efforts to secure the bus route ex- tension.
