states.
Though no statistics or reliable data
on the subject are available. according
to all Indications the number OF jitne"
buses has decreased materially in the
last two months. In part this decrease
was due TO an oversupply. with the
consequent reduction OF average earn
ings Other bus owners dropped out
because they found the business I'M
profitable, but the heaviest percentage
OF the decline is due to the regulative
measures adopted by the authorities.
In Oakland Cal; in Los Angeles. in
Portland. throughout the State OF
Washington. the diminutive carriers
were obliged TO take out accident in
surance In amounts ranging from ST.
500 TO $4,000 n car. Several cities.
notably Oakland, Portland. Reno. Phoe-
nix and Boise. placed heavy special
taxes on the Jitneys. Perhaps the most
drastic OF the ordinances is Roise's.
The minimum tax is SIS a year. paw
able in advance. plus indemnity insur-
ance to the amount OF $4,000 car.
The operator must obtain permit
from the City Council, must file a map
