CITY MAY

SERVICE!

Jitney bus service to all
parts of Tacoma and to the
tideflats will probably be re-
suaned in Tacoma within the
next two weeks.
Members of the city council in
structed City Attorney Harmon
Tuesday to draw up an ordinance
on outlines suggested by bus drly-
ers here, permitting donation
buses" to operate in Tacoma. The
ordinance is expected to be intro
duced at Wednesdays legislative
session.
Buses now operating to Camp
Lewis will serve as jitneys during
the days when travel to the cam
Torment is slack. In this way
the drivers, who maintain they
are operating at a loss part of the
time, will be able to earn con-
tinuous revenue and the public
will be getting additional service.
Harmon Likes Plan.
The plan to come within the
law regulating jitney bus service
inside cities of Washington was
suggested by Attorney Crawford
of Seattle, representing the bus
drivers and the Mutual Bonding
Co.
City Attorney Harmon told the
council Tuesday that he believed
the plan was we'll worth adopting.
Jitney buses inside the city linn
its would charge no established
fee for carrying passengers under
the new law, but would accept
donations" By not charging a
fee, the buses would not come
under the state law demanding
$4,000 indemnity bonds for all
buses. The bonding companies
are charging $500 for these bonds
and the high rate is forcing jitney
men out of business, they main
tain.
Council Enthusiastic.
The buses would furnish an
other form of bond for the safety
of their passengers, written by the
Mutual Co.
The driver will agree to help
handle passengers to the tideflats
shipbuilding district during morn
ing and evening congested peri
DDS, and will operate on any
other city route that the council
suggests.
ut looks like a good plan to
me-" said Mayor Fawcett Tues
day.
Other members of the council
were equally enthusiastic. Com
missioner Atkins said that jitneys
operating ON the tideflats would
not injure the municipal street
railway line, as the city's cars
we're having a hard time at pres
ent to handle the rush hour bust
