MOVEMENT ON
FOOT TO MAKE
JITNEY EXTINCT
Would Danish Bus Off Streets
and Rescue Trolley
Company.

| An attempt to reach an agreement to
/ regulate" iitncE buses in Indianapolis
/ in order to eliminate what has been
| termed unfair competition with the In
dianapOlis Street Railway Company will
l be made at a joint meeting of the Indt-
ana public service commission and the
Indianapolis city council at the State
house tonight.
The meeting was arranged by Samuel
Ashby, corporation counsel for the city
of Indianapolis, at the request of the
public service commission, after IL was
shown that more than COO jitney busses
are in operation and that they carry an
average of $4,000 passengers daily.
The commission decided TO ask the
council to do something following a short
conference yesterday afternoon. John w.
| McCardle. chairman Of the commission,
broke into the hearing. announcing there
would be a short recess. The entire com
mission retired TO his Office and Mr. Ash
/ by and Robert 1. Todd, president OF the
street railway company, were called IN.
/ COMMISSION OBTAINS
ENOUGH EVIDENCE.
Following the conference Mr.. McCardle
/ made a statement In which he said the
+ commission had heard all the evidence
/ necessary and that the hearing was
/ closed, so far as evidence was con
/ cerned.
The commission feels that something
must be done about the jitneys,' he
said. 1T has been suggested that the
/ commission and the city council have a
conference on the subject at a very early
date
If the jitney Is controlled the com
pany can go back 10 a scent fare"
He asked Mr.. Ashby 10 make state
ment on the subject. He replied that the
regulation of the jitney bus IS entirely
aatsthe discretion Of the council, but that
he would be glad to cooperate in ar
ranging a meeting.
SOUNDS DEATH
RNELL FOR JITNEYS.
1t is frankly admitted that the "regu-
/ lation" of jitney buses contemplates
/ they shall be legislated out Of existence.
! Several ways of doing this have been
/ suggested. hese include the charging
/ Of a very high license fee, the enactment
Of an ordinance prohibiting them from
/ running on the same streets with street
cars, and the requirement that jitney
[ drivers furnish high bonds to assure
/ their responsibility in case OF accident.
/ Several unsuccessful attempts were made
/ by the council some time ago to put
I some OF these things in effect.
/ Meanwhile the commission Is faced
/ with the fact that the order authorizing
/ the present rate of 9 cents cash or
/ twenty tickets for 81 expires at midnight
next Thursday. 1t is obvious that the
/ council cannot put into effect any ordi-
| nance regulating jitneys by that time.
! Mr.. McCardle said in this connection
/ that 1t would be necessary for the COM
mission to issue a short order the
matter before that time. He wo Id not
4 give any indication as to what thiI short
order" is likely to contain.
/ The commission can, before next Tues
/ day, do one OF three things: either ex-
tend the present order, permit the rates
to revert to those IN effect before the
