OLD NEW YORKER OUT
AGAINST JITNEY BUS
Fears Competition Will Revive
Troubles Of Days Of
Stages.

John Bryns Of 1874 Lexington avenue.
n New Yorker whose residence and
memory date back 10 1910, has entered
the lists against the proposed competi-
tive motor bus lines In the city. In a
letter to the Board OF Estimate APP
portionment he declares hat he bases
his protest on his recollection Of trait
nc conditions In the old days when tho
stages competed for business. and main
tains that conditions then made for
poor service and even danger TO the
riding public. He says:
81 feel quite sure that there will be
the same wild scramble for fares be-
tween the chauffeurs OF to-day as there
was between the drivers OF several
decades ago, In my mind ] ear now
see drivers Of competing lines on lower
broadway, lashing their horses and
each other and racing wildly across tho
street for Il possible fare. They yelled
and swore at each other, n some-
times there were actual fights IN the
street between these rivals for business.
Think what II would mean II such
conditions existed to-day. Consider the
appalling increase in accidents II such
competitive conditions prevailed. At
one time in the early sos there we're
as many as twelve lines competing in
the lower section OF tho city. cannot
forget my sensation upon coming out Of
Barnum's Museum. opposite 81. Paul's
"a 80. AL
shouting drivers would dash up with
their stages and urge their services. In
those days II was dangerous to board a
bus. If New Workers. OF to-day had lived
through those intolerable conditions they
would hardly listen for a moment to
any proposal to establish competing
lines on our crowded thorouEhfares."
