Chairman Shauehnessy, in his
statement. before the hoard at Car
son said: Il am OF the opinion that
those opera.o .ors who have heretofore
complied with the law and have been
granted certificates of public con-
venience and necessity. supplement-
ed only by those applicants I'm this
proceeding whose opera lions antedate
the law. should be afforded protec-
ion and that therefore no other or
further applications to operate auto
stage lines in the Ely district should
be authorized. This will limit the
service to a reasonable numebr of
responsible operators and when so
limited. the operafors can be requir-
ed to hire. or purchase the necessary
equipment and render a dependable
and adequate service to the travel
ing. public.
According to the statement of
Chairman Shaughnessy. the Ely dis
trict Is already covered by fran
chises granted to the District Auto
company. United Stage and Taxi Co,
Fred Y. Barnard, L. Korich. William
Antoniu and +. w Jackson. Expect
in those applications here under con-
sideration where the operations ante
date ihe law as amended in 1919. II
am opposed to granting franchises
to amy other operators in said dis
trict take this position for the
reason that representatives of the
United Stage and Taxi company and
OF the Sam Bassham end Harris
Stage lines appeared at the hearing
N protest against the granting OF
these applications here under con
s.deration and quite conclusiyely
showed that If the applications we're
graz ted, there wculi be too many
tRrs operating In the distric; and
that very few. II anv of tho lines
o1ad make profit from such opcr-
e'inns"
