should insist on the adoption of provisions that will more adequately insure the continuation of the Seminary hill line in Montpelier the matter of its discontinuance to be left to the public service commission and also feels that a condition should be written into the franchise that if service is discontinued the franchise be cancelled It insists on a bond for the carrying out of the provisions
