'JITAEY BUS ORDINANCE
SIGNED BY MAYOR
Bond Of $1,000 Required For Each
Vehicle. Except Whore same owner
Operates Moro Than One.
SPECIAL ROUTES NAMED
All Holders of Licenses win Be Re-
quired 70 Take Out New Papers,
Receiving Credit For Amount
Already Paid y

The Jitney bus ordinance was signed
today by Mayor Ainslie. 1t goes into
erect In ten days, which will be Tues
day, July II.
The principal provisions of this new
law are as follows: A bond OF $1,000
Is demanded for all cars operated. but
where more than one car Is operated
BY the same person or company a
bond of $500 for each additional car
Is required.
Special Routes Established.
Three special routes are established
by the ordinance. They are practi-
cally the ones chosen already by the
enterprising jitney drivers. One route
follows Main Street. The second is
from Tenth and Broad to Laurel
westward along Hanover, returning
eastward by Grove. The third route
Is from Tenth and Broad to Laurel
westward on Grove and returning east
ward by Monument.
A provision In the new traffic ordi-
nance, however, allows the driver to
carry a passenger a-ong any other
route or to any destination for hire,
or for an amount agreed upon be-
tween the driver and the passenger. 1t
is said that the effect of the ordi-
nance in this point may be practi-
cally nullified for one cent addi-
tional fare.
License Fec Graded.
The license fee Is graded accord
ing to the routes and the seating ca
pacity of the car. Each car may
carry one more passenger than Its
actual seating capacity. Drivers may
not smoke while operating their cars.
Some doubt has been expressed as
to whether the new ordinance will
or will not effect the men who already
hold licenses good for year. but
City Attorney Pollard states that the
operators are required to take out new
licenses under the new regulations.
being given credit on the license fee
for what they have already paid for
the old ones.
Another point In this connection is
the fact that this new and popular
means OF transportation is singled out
for special legislation. No attempt
is being made to regulate or to re-
quire bond OF carriages, taM-cabs,
etc.

THIS IS NEW FORM OF
GERMAN INVASION


New York. July IA sharp re-
duction in the selling price of phono-
graphs and records is expected to be
one of the results of the action OF
Federal Judge Anderson in dismiss
ing an injunction suit brought here
by the American Graphophone Com
pany. manufacturers of the dicta-
phone. to restrain the importation and
sale In this country Of German ma
chine known as the Photograph, made
by the Carl hndstrom Company of
Berlin. one of the leading manu-
failures of talking machines In
Europe.
while the German company has at
tempted up TO the present time to sell
only a machine competing with the
dictaphone, II has been learned that
as result of Judge Anderson's de-
cision. and because of the effect of the
European war on the sale of talking
machines abroad, 1t is probable that
the Lindstrom Company will organ
lie a corporation In this country to
go into the manufacture of musical
Photographs and records as well as
talking machines. The company did
the bulk Of It's business In the Bal
kans prior to the Balkan war. and
its establishment OF a branch in this
country because of the loss of the
Balkan business caused the patent In

drive only two miles a day to cover
the city.
This practice is about as sensible as
having a farmer hitch ten horses to
a buggy. or for railroad company
to put ten conductors on a trolley
car.
No wonder the city people complain
that milk is high, while the farmer
complains it is low. When It takes
ESQ men with wagons to do the work
of twenty-five or thirty in one city
with conditions probably averaging no
better over the country--it certainly
costs too much TO deliver milk.
We like to see good healthy COM

lies. But we wish for everybody
