A party who has lived in a town of

that this city being SO long and narrow

business center and then extend the
trip up Soda Avenue and down
Grass valley alternating these two ex-
tensions. He stated that the success of
such line would depend upon its reg
uarity in making trips SO as to be de-
pended on. In the town to which he
referred such bus line is operated
regularly and is a financial success
In the absence of street cars this
might prove novel undertaking and
one that would be literally patron
