'JITNEY' FIGHT IS
ON AT LITTLE ROCK

Little Rock, May 26-The petition
of Little Rock taXicab and jitney bus
operators for an injunction against
the Little Rock city ordinance was
heard by Chancellor Martineau Tues
day afternoon. The hearing was not
concluded and the case continued I'M
til today for further evidence.
The court ruled that the city clear
ly has authority to prescribe rules
and regulations for the operation of
automobiles used as common carriers,
and to provide taxes or fees for the
raising of revenues sufficient to care
for the extra expense. The license
fees, of which complaint was made
were therefore held to be valid.
The only question left, therefore
is the reasonableness of the bond re-
quired The Little Rock ordinance
lprescribes a bond of $4,000, fol
each car operated. Evidence was of
fered that this would cost 5000 {
year, which would be prohibitive.
The court called attention to the
fact that the record of the For
Worth case shows that a $4,000 bono
would cost $50 a year and he coult
see no reason why a similar bono
should cost more than that in Littl,
Rock There might be some VIII,
could make no bond whatever, ant
such would naturally be forced GU
of business.
The fact that some companies re
fuse to take the jitney risks show
that it is a dangerous business" SAT-
City Attorney Mehaffey, "and all tn
more reason why the bond should b
required
The iitney owners are contendin
that the city has no right to exact j..
bond, but the court overrules this con
tention, if it can be shown that tn
bond that the bond is not eXcessiv
in cost. Evidence on this point
to be introduced today.
