JITNEYs AND OTHER THINGS.

The notice that the Public Utilities Comm ission will sit in this city May 27 to give. hearings to local applicants for permits to operate jitneys is inn portant in itself and important in what the fact suggests.
 As far as the direct matter is con cerncd it seems to be the opinion of many that the commission is strong ly prejudiced in favor of assisting the Connecticut Company and may do quite as it pleases. with the welfare of that company constantly in mind. pie desire. One would like to dis card this pessimistic opinion regard ing ths commission.
 It is certain that those who live on or near Jitney route-most Of such persons at least-want the titneys They are not sorry that. in any event the jitneys will be under the control of the commission as far as compeI- ing them to run regularly. if they are allowed to run at all over present routes. and that other regula tions will be made which will bring to the jit- neymen greater responsibility to the people.
 It is certain that men and women who would have to depend upon tho trollcys as they arc now operated would he not only seriously incon- venienced by having to wait twenty minutes, for instance. on the Arch Street line. for another car 10 arrive if they missed the one they had planned to take, but that their month Iy expenditures would be increased anywhere from five or six to ten or fifteen dollars.
 ft is also certain that there are days at this time when such people arc glad that the trolIcys are running. as Jitneys sometimes fail. But, under the new law. there should he no such days: as the jitnoys would be held to egularity-brcakdown or similar happenings excepted. probably.
 It is said freely among iitney pa trona that a more convenient sched ule, a more frequent running of cars by the Connecticut company and a reduction of fares for these short runs, would bring a patronage that would cripple the jitneys seriously.
 But there is a point of great import

 Most of us. at one time or another, have been so situated that we have been obliged to make use of the jitneys and have been grateful for them. Many have moved from such localities. and the matter of jitneys or no jitneys has become unimportant to Us personally.
 The same is true Of other civic mat ters We have been so situated at times that other matters under dis cussion have affected us, but a change in conditions has taken away our per sonal interest and we care little what are the results of such discussions.
 In the matter of the jitneys. as in such other matters, we should not forget. We should remember our ex- perience in the past and bring our practical knowledge of the situation to bear upon the matter for the sake of having it presented in the proper light to those with whom the deci- sion rests.
 The jitney matter is up for deter imitation. For the sake of the wei fare of the city, and for the sake of those who will be affected by the de- cision of the commission, for the sake of the jitneymen and the trolley com pany every individual who has an opinion based upon sound knowledge should try to have that opinion placed before the commission.
 There will probably be no great hearing. Men and women should either sign the petitions being pre- pared by the jitneymen or should re- fuse to do so, whether they are per sonally interested at present or not. Those petitions should be representa- tive. It is up to the jitneymen to public convenience requires" their operation. If a great majority refuse to sign the petitions. which of course anyone has a perfect right to do, and for which refusal anyone may have good reason. it may convince the com- mission. believed to be prepared to be so convinced. that public necessity does not demand the jitneys. Tho Connecticut company. will undoubt- edly make use of such evidence.
