J|TNEY LICENSE
MUST Be FAIR,
SAYS ALDERMAN
Chairman Walsh, of License
Committee, Against $50
to-$1OO Scale.
"JITS" BENEFICIAL AND
SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED
Conference With Board of
Works Thursday May
Be Spirited.

Any effort to impose a high license
fee on the jitney operators in Newark
is going to encounter strenuous op-
position from the members of the
license committee of the Common
Council, and consequently the confer
ence between the members Of the
councilmanic committee and the
Board of Works, which has been set
for Thursday night, is likely to be
marked by strong difference of
opinion. AS the council is supreme
on the question of license the jitney
men believe that there will be no such
fee ranging from $50 to 800, according
to the carrying capacity of the cars,
which has appeared in some of the
proposed jitney ordinances which
have appeared before the Board of
Works.
The Common Council committee is
made up of Aldermen John J. Walsh,
John Faiss, F. Joseph Schmelz, Jo-
seph F. McCrudden and Theodore r.
Gottlieb
Alderman Walsh, who is chairman
of the committee, is strongly against
high fees for jitney owners at this
time.
Il think the fee proposed by the
Board of Works is ridiculous" said
Chairman Walsh today. THE jitneys
are great help to travelling Newark
and the city authorities must do
something 10. see that they get a
square deal"
The proposition is a new one in
this city. 1t must be tried out to as
certain If it is lasting. There is no
necessity of placing a burden on the
owners at this stage of the game.
for they don't know what the out
come will bring for them.
They are working on a chance.
and the citizens of this city are reap
ing the benefit of their chance. | do
not think that a high tax should be
levied against the jit owners.
Wants Local Examination.
The license committee will do ali
within its power to see that the fec

the jitneys may spread. l will have

the public and the jit owners" said
MIR. Walsh in concluding
Mr. Walsh also said that he would
Frazer in an effort to have an or
oinance introduced by which all
drivers who secure a city license must
pass a local examination to be out
lined by the license committee of the
Common Council.
President Patrick H. Ryan. of the
Board of Works, favors high license
from the jitney owners. At last
Thursdays meeting of the board he
said license ranging from $50 to
800 would be fair.
1t is said that the other members
of the board disagree with the presi-
dent on the tax as proposed.
In his first tentative draft City
Counsel Frazer argued for a license
with $100 as the maximum, according
TO the number of passengers carried
by the jitney. Subsequent sugges-
tions promised a cut in this rate.

restraints imposed by British law in
derogation of the rights of American
citizens under international law. The
cayeat was filed to avoid any mis-
understanding as to the attitude of
the United States toward the orders
in council.
Officials would not discuss the Brit

been made by the British authorities
to publication of any portion until
the notes have been released by ar

man out on account of his age.
Last Friday he got a letter, and
told Mrs. Decker that he would go on
Saturday, as a friend had invited him
to make his home In Warwick and
had enclosed money to pay the car
fare. He went about getting ready
for his departure. but returned to the
house under the influence of liquor.
When Saturday came he told Mrs.
Decker that he did not wish to reach
his friends home with any sign of
drinking about him, and so would
like to remain over Sunday. The per-

spend the money sent him.
Sunday he was gone all day, and re-
turned to the house about 2 o'clock

such as is used for wrapping bundles,

The length of the twine was not
enough to let the body hang clear

Germany is contendlng for her

the right to destroy the ship. There

there is a question over whether it

REID GIVES TALK
TO J|TNEY MEN
Police Commissioner Says Po-
lice Are Friends of Bus
Drivers-RuIes Enforced.

Police Commissioner John L. Reid
addressed more than 200 jitney bus
drivers TODAY at a meeting held at
the New Jersey Auto and Motor
Club In reference to the enforcement
o. the traffic laws by the police. He
requested drivers to cooperate IN
every way with the police, who would
in turn look out for the interests Of
the drivers.
Commissioner Reid was introdace
to the men by w. j. Morgan, of the
Jitney Service Association.
II have asked the Judge ITO suspend
sentence on twenty three violators of
the traffic law so az. to be able to
attend this meeting today" the COM
missioner said. The police are your
friends, but | want you to under
stand that the police are going to
enforce the traffic laws. If you peo-
pie will help us we will help you. but
we are going to have traffic regula-
tons at Broad and Market streets
enforced. | want your moral support
In this matter. Do not try to fool us
for when you do then there is going
to be trouble?"
I'VE are going to have an under
standing, and If you think that you
are not getting a square deal | have
an office, and the latchstring Is out
for all of you.
In order to save lives and limbs
you must obey the traffic whistle. Do
not pass cars to the left. Stop when
signaled to do so and do not jam
your brakes so that you will be un-
able to start immediately Many
drivers are doing this for the purpose
Of filling their cars with passengers,
and at Market street this practice is
dangerous and must be discontinued.
Have your license on the side OF your
car. Do not carry more passengers
than may be comfortably seated. Do
not allow passengers to ride on the
side step. When you have tire
trouble pull off to the side of the road
ut does not add anything to the
dignity of Newark to see jitney bus
crowded with passengers-men and
women seated on each others laps.
Above all, keep yourselves clean.
