HOUSE PASSES
J|TNEY BILL
Puts Operators Of Buses Un-
der Regulation of Public
Utilities Commission of NJ.
IBv Evening New, correspondsnt.1

tBy Evening News Correspondent
TRENTON. March 16-For h
second consecutive year the House
of Assembly has passed the jitney
bill to put the operators of these
vehicles under the regulation of the
Public Utility Commission. The
vote was 81 to II and before the
measure finally sailed through the
assembly it was amended to provide
after yesterday the municipalities
shall not have the authority to
grant any permits for new jitneys to
operate. The vote on this amend
ment vas 20 to "a. 1t was offered
as a substitute for one presented by
Assemblyman Franklin. of Essex.
which would have extended the
time to April the first. Assembly
man Elliott, of Essex. introduced of
the bill, offered the substitute.
On final passage Mr.. Elliott.
speaking for the measure. declared
that it was introduced not to hinder
the jitneymen, but rather to help
them. The bill as passed by the
House and as it now goes to the
State Senate does not interfere with
present auto bus operators who
have privileges to run on the streets
in the different cities in the state,
such as Jersey City. Newark. Cam
den, Atlantic City and elsewhere.
But it will affect all such bus lines
as soon as their present ownership
changes and new management takes
hold.
The measure is wanted by the
Public Service Corporation which
has been claiming that the jitneys
are competing with its trolley lines
free from all regulation and that
bankruptcy faces the trolley lines of
the corporation unless the jitneys
are removed as a competitor.
In addition to the introducer the
bill was advocated on the floor by
Assemblyman Franklin. Essex. and
Tozer. of Bergen. Mcmillan of Es-
sex, Taylor of the same county. a
labor man. and Cranmer of Ocean,
all opposed it is an assault and at
