Jitbusses Need More Regulations
That the jitney buses operating be-
tween Davenport and Rock Island
should have the same regulations as
the street cars in this city, is the belief
of Chief of Police Boettcher, and he
/ states that a new ordinance should be
| drawn, making it necessary for jits to
| stop only on the near side of the in
tersections. W. Noeffer, jitney driv-
er, was arrested yesterday when he
| stopped his car on the far side of the
intersection, but the case was dropped
| when it was found that there was no
| law against it. According to the pres
! ent ordinance, the jitbusses can stop
anywhere in the block Chief Boettch-
er did not say whether he intended to
| take the matter up with authorities,
| but it is believed that this will be done,
and some definite action is expected on
the matter soon. 1t is possible that a
new ordinance will be drafted to deal
with this problem.
