The corporation counsels then pc-
titioned the Public Utilities com~
mission to order the Connecticut
company to produce the desired data
which is asked in the finding of the
commission made known today. The
finding asks.
“i-A list of oil the operating routs

Along with the order. the com-
mission adds that when that body
was petitioned by tho counsels for
the operating expenses of the system,
no specific lines of routes were dc‘
signaled other than the inference
that the information should include
the major routes. The counsels
failed to mail a. written statement
of what was desired. In view of
this fact. the commission says. it
preparodtho foregoing order which
it believes converse: all the points in
question.
The information sskcd by the
commission of the Connecticut com-
pany is ordered before the commis-
aion hearing April 14.
Corporation counsels in every
city were {nailed copies of the order.

The key that unlocked the prison
gains to Anderson was a decision
handed down by Supreme Court
Justice Wagner who denied the

automatically concciied the $50,000
bond under which Anderson has

sentenced to‘ a term of from ons to
