GET INJUNCTION
Association Discusses Plan
for Preventing Ordinance
Being Enforced.

Members Of the Independent Nickel
Auto Operators will hold a meeting at
the City and County Democratic club
at o'clock Tuesday evening TO de-
eide upon decided action with relation
to the new jitne ordinance, passed by
the city council. which goes into effect
in the near future. At the meeting Of
the operators on Monday afternoon,
suggestion was made that a legal in
junction be secured TO restrain the city
from enforcing the ordinance
There was a much better attendance
al Mondays meeting than at the ses-
sion on Saturday and the new ordinance
was discussed clause by clause The
operators did not appear to have any
strong objection to passing a strict
examination as to their qualification as
drivers They did, however. argue
strongly against the bond requirement
and the clause which requires drivers
TO take out license for a particular
route.
The chief argument against the bond
was that IL was discriminatory and
worked against the small operators,
men who own their cars. All the speak
ers Declared their ability 10 put up the
bond, but were unanimous IN Opposing
it. Another argument was that the
bond would tend 10 increase the num-
Der Of damage suits which would be
instigated against the operators by en-
emies Of the jitnes, they said. This, &C
cOrding TO the operators, would result
would have the effect Of putting many
operators out Of business
II was reported that the petitions
which are now being circulated are
being signed by many friends OF the
jitnes and the hope was expressed that
the CITY council. on the presentation OF
these petitions, would realize that pub
lie opinion is with the operators and
eliminate the Objectionable clauses
from the ordinance.
+. Johnson, Z. r Bennett and H. a
Wagner were named as a petition COM
mittee to look after the securing OF
signatures and then to take up the
matter with the city council Perma-
nent officers were elected as follows:
