FOR SOUTH SIDE BUSES
Utilities Board Asked for Certif-
cate by Company.

What is thought to be the final legal
step necessary to secure NOTORIOUS
service for the south side was taken
by the Chicago Motor Bus company
before the state public utilities COM
mission. Attorney Colin Fyffe filed
petition for certificate of public con-
venience and necessity. The request
was referred to Commissioner Demp-
sey for consideration.
I'VE anticipate that the petition will
be granted and busses will soon be in
operation on the south SIDE" Attorney
Fyffe stated. "The company will begin
operation with the new-type double
decked inclosed busses approved by
the city and the Lincoln and south
park boards"
The company already has a fran
chise from the south park commission
ers permitting the busses to operate
over certain routes on south side
streets and boulevards certificate
to operate was granted more than
year ago by the utilities commission,
but the Chicago Stage company, rival
organization, appealed the case to the
Supreme court, preventing the COM
pany from operating. The Supreme
court upheld the decision of the COM
mission.

Twenty-six years of strenuous serv-
ice in congress, during which he took
but few and very brief vacations and
the strain sustained during the Dem

nominated for President that year, for

had a clear majority of nine. A two
