THE PASSING OF THE J1TBUs.
lSioux City Journal
From all sides come reports Of the
passing OF the jitbus.
It seems to be the old. old stoey.
The going was fairly good - long 40
the game was . novelty. Now that
q scent ride in an autompbile causes
no comment and consequently no
thrill, folks are trailing back to the
old reliable trolley car. and one BY one
the jitbus drivers are backing out OF
the ring.

hills made the operation Of the cars
expensive.
Then again. the tendency OF city
pay licenses and put up bonds for the
protection of pedestrians and passen-
gers and otherwise to regulate the
business has convinced many 5itbus
men that there are other callings in
which there Is less grief and more
profit.
In Burlington. as in most other
cities. there simply was no demand
for the Jitbus. The street car COM
pany was giving good service. and the
community's only possible excuse for
giving the jitbuses any patronage was
the enjoyment 1t might get out Of try
ing out fad. It has been exactly the
same way in Sioux City. As general
proposition. the street car service .is
satisfactory. The Sioux City Service
Company has spent hundreds OF thou
sands of dollars in Sioux City and year

street car system is among the city,s
most important institutions and as
such is entitled to 1UppOrt even az

Ice 1. gives is best proved by the fail
ure OF the jitbus to make any serious
inroads on its business.
