JUNIOR CHAMBER ] MEMBERS TALK ON
 J|TNEY SITUATION
Want a Fair Show for Street Cars-0ther Citizens Dis like Eight Fare
 Idea

The campaign for the regulation of the jitneys has not stopped, bu' will be continued with increased energy, according to Frank E. Spain chairman of the Junior Chamber ol Commerce committee which took LII the fight after Commissioner H. r Burruss had started it.
 In the opinion of MT. Spain anc others, the real solution of the Transportation system of Birming ham lies not in raising car fare from time to time to meet the losses occasioned by competition, but in placing the jitneys on the same re- sponsibility basis as the car com pany.
 In the meantime, the suburban dwellers who have no jitney service and who must depend upon street cars are clamoring for steps which will prevent them from being taxed to pay for duplicate car service on the South Highlands and, other close-in lines, according to state- ments made by several yesterday.
 ''All the people around Rising Station are opposed to paying any more car fare and we are opposed to making up the losses caused by un- restricted operation of Jitneys on other lines" declared A. l.. Grant oi Rising, yesterday. The people out my way have walked up to the sit- uation that we are about to be taxed to maintain jitney service for peo- pie in town and close in to the city.
 We want the city commission to meet the issue and not pass the buck to the Alabama public service commission. The jitneys are taking $700 per day of revenue from the car company that the law says they shall have, and now the car com pany is about to ask that the people who ride the cars make up this def icit by paying more money We people out my way and at Ensley have to ride the cars and we think if jitneys are to be operated. they should be bonded and made to run to all parts of the city and run at all hours and in all weather.
 People who ride the jitneys and cripple the car service seem to for get that the jitneys don't run in : winter very much nor in bad rainy weather, and then they will want the cars If they put the cars out of business or cause many of them to be taken off the lines, then we will have no service when cold weather comes
 "The iitneys are a fair weather proposition and if they can't meet the same conditions the street cars have to meet they should be forced to compete on the same basis or go out of business"
 St.. all Ip nf Rnnhtfnk another who contends that the Jit- ney regulation is the best solution of the present trouble. If the jit- neys were required to run Nto all parts of the city, to operate good weather and bad, and to run the long hauls as well as the short, this situa : ton would be solved" declared MT. Cory.
 Under the plan proposed, we peo- pie at Roebuck are going to have to pay cents fare and cents addl-
