and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice.
and lifted up thine eyes on high" even against
the Holy one Of israel But know thy
abode. and thy going nut and thy coming in.
and thy rage against Me. Because thy rnse

In other words. evolution has come to be

II developed during the discus
sion before the adoption Of the reso-
luton that the Street Directors are
contemplating the restriction OF who
or what corporations shall use the
various streets leading to and from
the city for the operation OF buses.
This was brought out by a represen-
tative Of tho Delaware Rapid Transit
Company. who wished to learn II op-
position 10 the already established
routes would be tolerated by the di-
rectors.
President johnson said while the
directors had not considered this
phase OF the situation they well
knew that other States protected
bus concerns which had been proved
reliable. and that he felt the matter
would be properly cared for by the
directors when they outlined their
future actions concerning the oper-
alton OF buses.

hibited the use OF the main streets
Of the city by buses. He cited that
many Of the families spent as much

planned the objections were with
drawn.
All buses 20 operate in the city
must comply with the regulations

rectors. All buses must have two
doors, fire extinguishers and anti
