Elimination of This Number

ROUTE FOR JITNEYS
TO STOP CONGESTION
Capt. Wheeler Says Plan
Has Been Under Consid-
Grafton for Some Time.

Elimination of a daily average Of
ISIS vehicles passing the corner of
Fairfield avenue and Main street is ex-
pected by the operation of the new
rules and routing of jitneys through
the center of the city. according to
figures given out today by Captain c.
A Wheeler of the Traffic Bureau Of the
police. Captain Wheeler asks that a
fair trial of the new routes be made
and predicts they prove a benefit not
only to the public but to the jitney
operators as well.
John Schwartz, head of the new
Jitney Operators association was also
at headquarters and while many of the
operators make some objections it is
believed by him control of the routes
will in the end work for the benefit
of all.
Under the new rules the east bound
jitneys, those going to Stratford ave,
nue. will not be changed but the route
| of those west bound will leave Fair
field avenue at Middle street, to Col
den Hill street, to Main street, Elm
| street, Broad street, to Fairfield ave-
nue. again. There are about $40 We
hicles using this route daily, and lively
competition between them tended to
| hinder public travel
Last Saturday in the 10 day hours
4,4S2 jitneys passed the corner of Main
street and Fairfield avenue going in all
directions. It is believed the elm
nation of this large number of vehi-
Giles will tend to speed up the jitney
travel, trolley cars and other traffic
and result in general good to the en-
tire community. Captain Wheeler es-
Inmates that 10000 people use the jit-
neys daily in gotng to and from work
in this city, aud nearly all of thai
travel passed through Main street
There are about 700 vehicles licensed
as jitneys in the city.
Traffic over the State street line will
be diverted from Main street at Wall
to Middle, to Congress street, to the
East Side, and this will also tend tt
relieve the congestion in the center o.
the city.
Captain Wheeler believes the new
routes be a benefit all around, bu
promises to observe carefully, an(
where any hardship is seen to recon
mend changes which will be for thu
general benefit. He believes safet,
will be largely promoted by the new
rules
Allegations that any S ecia1 interes
is behind the new routes are denied b,
Captain Wheeler, who says the matte
has been considered for a long time
after careful observation, count of tn
number of vehicles, and consultatio,
with traffic experts, and with official
of other cities.

Amsterdam, April 1.-THE Dutch

American proposal to send three ship
loads of grain to Holland on condi-
ton that Holland sends three ships of
about the same tonnage to America,

nounced in the second chamber yes,
terday.
According to the TELEGRAPH the
minister added:
Holland must, however, have the
certainty that the three ships will
reach America. The government has
reason to assume that Germany will
place no impeachment in their way. It
has, however, asked Germany as to
her intentions, but has not yet re-
ceived a reply"
Dr. Loudon announced that he had
been informed by the Anglo-American
governments that Dutch ships enter
ing British or American ports after
April 20 vUald not be seized. He said
he regarded the word Of the AngIo-i
American powers as a sufficient guar
antee.
