Growth of Vermont Savings

There IS no matter with refer

sincere pride than in her Savings
Banks.
She stands first in granite, first

She leads in scales; she produces
the best maple sugar in the world.
Size considered, she leads the
country in dairy products,and small
as she is, she ranks 10th in the

The thrift of her people is one of
the things about which we have a
right to feel especial pride. Here

the past 90 years:

for the past ten years has been ap.

Better Street Car Service and Six
For Quarter Tickets Best Method of
Regulating Jitney. Declares Keller

Intimai0g the local street car COM
panies we TO blame for the cry that
jitney buses in South Bend be reg
ulated bT means of an ordinance es-
tablshil z a terminal and a license
fee, Mayor Keller for the first time
since the agitation in the question
has arisen, expressed his views in the
matter.
These were entirely in favor of the
jitney bus men. While advocating
regulation. the mayor at the same
time declared that whatever regula-
tiOn was started in South Bend should
be light. so that the bus drivers could
continue in sharp competition with
the railways.
The mayor openly recommended
that local street railway companies
lower their fares, stating that as long
as the fares at present being demand
ed for the service given were con-
tinued, jitney bus men would con-
tinue 10 reap a harvest of nickels.
Here 5 Mayors Statement.
The mayors statement in full was
as follows:
While in Detroit this week for two
days l did not see a single iitnev.
Upon inquiry / was told that there
were practically no jitneys operating
in that prosperous city and none
along tie street car lines 1 found
that no ordinance had been passed
TO regulate them and that il had not
even been considered. The reason
given me for there being practically
no jitneys was that they could not
compete with the street cars. Street
car tickets in Detroit are sold eight
for % cents on about 65 miles of
track and on the other line eight for
25 cents TO be used by any one during
hours when wOrkingmen are going TO
and from their work and seven for
% cents to be used all other hours.
In discussing jitneys with a Cleve-
land gentleman I was told that they
had very few jitneys and none what
ever operating along street car lines.
They have no ordinance regulating
them. However. they can buy street
car tickets for three cents.
Service Holds Business.
TT does seem that in these cities
of Detroit and Cleveland that the
fares and service rendered by the
street car companies does hold the
business for them.
South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1915-06-12

troller did succeed in raising it TO
s2.95.
Liberal to Car Company.
owing TO our extreme Hberality to
the street car company. it would seem
that we should not be too hard on
the jitney The probabilities are that
if the street car company would re-
duce its fares the jitneys would ir
time eliminate themselves
An interesting portion Of the
mayors statement is that which re-
fers TO the license fees demanded of
the railway companies annually,
These figures. while no especial eff
fort has been made TO conceal them,
are indicative Of the extreme liber-
ality with which the companies in
South Bend have been treated The
mayor states that an annual license
fee of only $500 per car has in the
past been demanded and that in no
year did the revenue so obtained
amount to more than $120.
He adds that the city attorney and
the city controller of his administra-
ton last year collected $295 No
reason Is given as to why in past
years the revenue has not been
greater.
In further discussion of the jitney
bus situation, the mayor declared that
in cities he had visited in the east.
the citizens and members of the cOun-
ellis advocated regulation, but like in
this city, further urged that in what
ever manner regulation was attempt
ed, il should be extremely light.
Grand Rapids Experience.
It is interesting TO note that in
Grand Rapids recently a stringent lit
ney bus ordinance wa adopted. This
was entirely In favor of the street
car companies, setting forth license
fees so eXhOrbitant that conducting a
jitney bus line was impossible.
In less than 10 days after the ordi-
nance had been declared adopted. il
was repealed because Of popular
clamor and petitions circulated by bus
drivers among their patrons.
It has been said thai in this city
the chance for profit in conducting a
jitney bus line is above the average
on account of the strict adherence
on the part of street railways 10
straight fares.
