Automobile Livery Service is Latest Method
Employed to Foil Public Utilities Decision

A new angle to the trolley-jitney
controversy was given this morning
when the City Auto Livery officially
put three cars on the street to take
care of people who have been deprived
of service through the action Of the
public utilities commission ruling the
jitneys off West Main street and
other streets. The new firm proposes
to take passengers from any one of it's
three stations, or wherever a car is
hailed in the street, to the passengers
destination, instead of dropping them
off on the nearest street corner.
Edward P. French, who formerly
operated the West Main street jitney
line is manager of the new livery
company. Offices have been opened at
SIS West Main street, at 20 IL West
Main and French's private garage at
Barnesdale. Each station will have one
car assigned to it, and this place will
be considered headquarters for that
particular car. 20" markers, signify
ing that they are public service cars,
will be the only distinguishing marks

MORE POLISH PEOPLE
Leaving FOR EUROPE
33 Start Today, Including
Seven Families
Money For, Trip.

With no immediate prospects of
better working conditions in sight,
and the falling cost of living as con-
trasted to the diminishing means of
livelihood failing to show any induce
ment to stay, Polish people continue
to leave the city in large numbers
for their native lands, where many
of them own farms or have rela-
tives they have not seen for years.
The fact that this year is probably
the first time since 1914 that many
foreign born residents have had a
chance to see their friends and rela-
tives on the other side of the water
is responsible for considerable por-
ton of the exodus at this time
Many families in Europe, and es-
pecially in sections where the Polish
people came from have been broken
up by the war. Brothers and sweet
hearts on both sides the ocean have
given their lives on the field of bat
tie and families over there have
been left with farms and no one to
work them. Numerous cases exist
where only the aged parents are left
of one time large family. Sons
who immigrated to America in years
gone by, and who have married and
raised families of their own, NOW are
taking advantage of, the first oppor-
tunity' in years to visit the old folks
at home.
