BUS LINE NOW IN Sue
CESSFUL OPERATION
Many Take Advantage oi
Low Rate to Wilmington

A bus line between Newark and
Wilmington, long desired by local
residents, is now a reality. A local
line, it is rumored, will be put into
operation soon by local people.
Beginning the latter part of last
week, the Peoples Bus Line began to
operate an express bus service be-
tween Tenth and Market Streets, Will
mlngton, and the Pennsylvania Sta
tion here. Two buses each capable of
carrying about 20 people leaving the
terminals every hour and a quarter,
constitute the service.
The first bus leaves the Pennsyl-
vania station here at 7.15 a. m. stand
ard time and the last at 1915 or II 80
p. m., according to the demand of the
local traffic. Stops are made at all
street intersections to receive and dis
charge passengers. The route to Will
mington is by way of Main Street,
Lumbrook, Marshallton, Elsmere,
Union Street, Pennsylvania Avenue,
Delaware Avenue to Tenth and Mar
ket Streets.
From the Wilmington end the first
bus leaves the du Pont Building at 7
a. m. and every hour and quarter
thereafter until 11.15 p. M, the
theatre special. The fare each way
is 80 cents, a sum which for uptown
residents is approximately one-third
of the regular train fare increased by
local and city transportation charges
According to announcement it is
not the intention to compete with
local bus and trolley SERVES in New
ark or in Wilmington. No local traffic

ports which showed that the average
annual wheat production for New
