CITY UNABLE TO
PROTECT JITNEYS

Continued from First Page.l
that each city may regulate motor
transportation by motor vehicles of
passengers or property, for pay,
within the limits of the city, of from
points in the city TO points beyond
the limits of the city. In such reg
ulation, the city may impose rea-
sonable license fees. make regula-
tions for the operation of vehicles,
the rates to be charged for trans
portation, and may designate certain
streets upon which such vehicles, IL
operated, may be operated"
Up to Commission
Under the provisions of this Act,
the communication from the Nom
partisan League states, the City of
Harrisburg, by the vote of the peo-
pie, did regulate the jitneys and en-
power them to run on the city streets
for two years. The Mayor enclosed
the communication to the city So
licitor for an opinion, and this after
noon announced the following opin-
ion of the city solicitor:
This question was before the
Public Service Commission in the
case of Wilkes-Barre Railway Com
pany VS.. Parsons. in which the Pub
lie Service Commission held that al
though a person has secured a mu-
nicipal license TO operate a jitney he
must also secure a certificate of
public convenience from the Public
Service Commission before he may
legally operate"
The same question. the city So
licitor added. was before the Supe-
rior court in Scranton Railway Com
pany VS.. Fiorcucci. when the su-
perior court decided that the Act of
June /, 1915, giving the city the
power to regulate and license certain
motor vehicles, does not repeal the
Public Service Commission Act of
July 20 1913. insofar as it relates
to- the same subject. The provision
OF the two acts on the subject are
not irreeoncilable and there is no
express repeal in the later Act"
The city solicitor added ehat since
the proposition has already been
settled in the courts. there is moth
Ing which the city can Iitigate.
