MUST FOLLOW ROUTES MADE
Police Schedule Gives Hours When Jit>
ney Busse Must Be in Operation on
the Route Laid Out by the Rail
road Commission of the State.

Cooperating with the Wisconsin,
Railroad Commission, Chief of Police
Owen o Hare has issued his first order
in regard to the operation of jitney
busses in Kenosha and these rules
must be followed by the operators.
The penalty for following these rules
which have been promulgated by the
railroad commission and sanctioned by
the police department, will be the
revocation of the licenses of the
bonded carriers and in addition to
this the drivers will be subject to
fine in court The rules were being
sent out to every jitney driver in
Kenosha today.
With them is list Of the drivers
who have been licensed by the state
railroad commission up to September
goth. This list shows that there are
twenty-five legally "bonded carriers
operating in Kenosha. Since this list
was made out several additions have
been made to the list and they will be
assigned to routes when the state COM
mission makes it's next report.
But one route was outlined for Ke
nosha by the commission. This route
runs from the north limits of Milwau-
kee avenue to the Chicago Milwaukee
Electric Railway depot on Elizabeth
street by way of the following streets
Milwaukee avenue, Main, Market,
Newell and Elizabeth or Milwaukee,
Main, Market, Sheridan Road and
Elizabeth streets.
In the new schedule sent out by the
chief of police certain hours are named
at which the jitaeys must operate
They may operate at other hours, but
they must cover the route named by
the commission in the hours named on
the schedule. They must operate
daily and this includes Sundays and
holidays. They must carry sign
showing that they are "bonded
carriers and must not carry passen-
gers in excess of the number named on
the schedule. The fare for a continuous
passage from one end of the route to
the other is five cents and no charge in
excess of this can be made. The driv-
ers are warned that they must not
violate any local laws or ordinances
relating to the use of the roads.
Jitney service in Kenosha is schedul-
ed to begin at six O. clock in the morn
ing in Kenosha and it must be con-
tinued until ten o'clock at night The
first car to get out in the morning is to
be No. 282 owned by Paul Larsen.

at night and his cars will be the last
scheduled cars. They must operate
over the commission route between nine
and ten O'Clock each evening.
