Dover BUSLINE
ISTURNED down
Street Directors Reverse Ac-
tion in Case of Alfred
G. StiltZ
DO NOT WANT
ANY MORE BUSES

The motion passed last week to
allow the buses operated by Alfred
c. Stiltz of Newark between Dover
and Wilmington to enter the city by
way of the Market street causeway
to Front street to Tatnall and then
to Fourth and Orange streets. was
on motion Of Director Grier recon-
sidered and refused by the Street
and Sewer Directors this morning.
President Johnson and Director
Grier voted to refuse permission.
with Director Sparks voting to grant
the privilege.
Mr. White of the Delaware Rapid
Transit Company. appeared before
the board and opposed the granting
of the requested privilege, declar-
ing Mr.. Stiltz had conceived the idea
TO operate over this route on which
his company had been operating for
some time, simply TO use unfair
means in establishing opposition.
He said the traffic on the State
Highway over the route used by the
Delaware Rapid Transit Company
would not warrant competition, and
that one or the other would eventu-
ally be driven out of business. He
also contended the establishment of
competitive line would endanger
the lives Of passengers using the
buses due to operating against each
other schedule.
While the directors declared they
would not deal with the request
from from a stand point of COM
petition, they are opposed to any
additional buses entering the city.
Mr.. White said in reply, The al
lowing of this request is unfair to
us. and l know Mr.. Stiltz wants to
be unfair to u.s."
Mr.. Sparks said. in voting for
the granting of Mr.. Stiltz's request,
that when the directors first sug-
gested the licensing of the bus lines
and bringing them under restric-
tions the merchants of the city were
open in their opposition TO any ac-
tion of the directors along these
lines, as they brought many subur-
ban patrons TO their stores. He felt
he should consider favorably the ap-
pllcation of as many buses operat-
ing, as were able to meet the re-
quirements of the directors.
