COMPRISES FEATURES
FROM MANY ORDINANCES

The Richmond jitney bus ordinance
in it's present form, is n COMPILATION
OF the adaptable features of the tit
ncy ordinances OF San Francisco. Los
Angeles. Atlanta. st. Louis, and other
cities that have enacted regulatory
Jitney legislation, and embodiees at the
same time n number of original pro-
visions drafted to meet peculiar local
problems. One OF these Is the aiffcrcn-
tial license tax for routes designed
TO discourage the overcrowding OF GER
tain popular streets. and to euualize
the Jttrey bus traffic in the Yves, End
avenues.
In one point. however. the Richmond
ordinance differs materially from prac-
ucaiiF every regulatory ordinance that
mas so far been adopted 1t contains
no provision requiring Utncy owners
or drivers TO execute n surety bond TO
protect passengers or pedest
against accidents arising from the ncp-
hgence of the jitncy driver.

Evidently the Independent, published in New

federal supervision. Commenting on Secre-
tary Lanes report, which includes references
to the schools of this territory, the Independ-
ent sapiently remarks:
Zone would hardly think that Hawaii need.
ed much federal care, as the people are well
able to care for themselves. Hawaii has been
generous in support of education, but is criti-
cised in this report because the education has
been too much given to advanced theories of
a pedagogical or ethical type, and it is adj
vised that there be return to a sound, not
theoretical education, by which appears to be
meant an industrial education, which is the fad
of the day, gardening, dairying, storing and
cooking what is called practical"
