The TRANSPORTATION Circle

= TTH COUNCIL, as voiced by certain of
- It's members, is going around the same
old vicious circle in its handling or rather
its lack OF handling Of the street car and
j:tncy situation. 1t points an accusing finger
III the street car company because it is not
furnishing the high class of transportation
service that Richmond should have Therein
the Council finds argument for the unre-
strained use of the city's streets by tho lit
feys. But In view OF the Councils refusal
TO grant it an increase in fares and its fur
Their refusal to restrain the jitneys, it is i'm
possible for the street car company to find
the funds necessary 10 improve its service
RMS condition is not likely TO be bettered
SO long as the jitneys are permitted to cut
so deeply into the revenues that the com
pany has the right 10 expect from a system
installed for the citys use at n cost of many
millions OF dollars
There the matter asts. The street car
company cannot do the Impossible. 1t can
not get funds out OF air, and il IT could it
Is a question If it would be justified in in
vesting them in city whore unfair CONNIE
lition is permitted and where the Council
refuses to take step toward that simple
justice which is necessary to put tho trans
portation system on its financial feet, re-
store its credit and enable it TO go into the
money market and obtain on reasonable
terms the funds II must have for further
development OF it's lines
The whole situation as it exists today is
the direct outgrowth of Councils procras-
tination, or rcfusal-call il what one will
to act upon the compnny's petition for a
Now franchise Until satisfactory fran
chise is granted and the company knows
IN definite terms what il may expect condi-
lions will be no better. In the meantime
diversion OF jitney traffic from those streets
already traversed by street car lines may
nc heipful in delaying, if, not averting
transportation disaster, in event of which
the people of Richmond will face the alter
natives OF paying greatly increased street
car fare or depending entirely on the iitneys.
