ST. TO BE
Sc RIVED

The iitney will do what
the T. X. & T.. won't.
1t will give transportation
to the well populated district
living between the Sixth ave-
nue. and Point Defiance car
lines, which Stone 4 Webster
refuse to serve.
Manager Wilson of the autobus
association today announced the
plan, which was adopted last
night. e.
All the jitneys operating on the
Point Defiance and Sixth avenue
routes will be divided in two
groups. Half of them will run OF
the Point Defiance route to 26tf
and Stevens streets, up Stevens tt
Sixth avenue, and in.
The other half will travel iden
tically the same route, except tina
they will reverse 1t. Thus there
will be two continuous streams o
autos carrying North Enders t
and from town.
The only hindrance to an i'm
mediate carrying out of the plal
is the condition of some of tn
crossings on Stevens street. These
the jitncy men say. are danger
GUS for present operation. Jus
as soon as they are repaired tn
innovation will go into effect.
The plan will give speedy, d
rect service to hundreds of peopl
who, because OF the T. X. & p
refusal to serve them, are oblige
to walk from half dozen block
TO a mile in order to reach
car.
Thus does the jitney give
the lie TO the 7. II. Il i. as
sertion that the little autobus
