CITY ID SEEK LOW
 FARES OR JI7NEYS
Council May Petition P. U. C. for
 Another Hearing
MAYOR CURTIS HAS PLAN
Chief Executive Will Offer Recom-
 mendatiOn to Council Tonight Wants Best Brand of Servica at
 Lowest Rate Possible, He Says,

Lowest Rate Possible, He Says,
 A resolution petitioning another hearing by the Public Utilities Com. mission to reconsider its decision in the matter of jitney transportation in this city or in lieu hereof an order by that commission reducing fares on the local lines will be offered by Mayor Orson F. Curtis at a special meeting of the common council this evening"
 The mayor has expressed himself as of the belief that the F. U. c. order is most unfavorable and con trary to the desires of the residents of the city. hence his decision to call the council together to act in the mat ter. If the mayors resolution is adopted, City Clerk A. l.. Thompson will communicate the fact to the com mission and ask that a date be set for a public hearing on the transpor- tation problem as a whole Such a request is preferential, the mayor be- l1eves to a request for a second hear ing on the jitney question since it will be possible to bring up the matter of reducing trolley fares if the commis- sion still believes that the jitneys must go.
 Mayors Explanation
 As the mayor explains it, tonight s meeting is not in the interests either of the trolley company or the jitneurs, but to determine how the city can secure the best brand of service at the lowest possible price. If the council members feel that better and cheaper service can be maintained by allowing the Jitneys to operate here, the city will ask the Utilities commits sion to reconsider its order; if it is the opinion of the governmental body that, by removing competition, the trolley company can give better serv- ice, then that action will be suggested If the latter proposition is adopted, it is very likely that data on the trolley situation will be compiled for presen- tation to the Utilities Commission in conjunction with request for lower carfares.
 The meeting will be held in the council chamber at o'clock and as far is known. the transportation prob lem is the only important matter of business to come up.
