Bus Ordinance Tabled
Although the Hauser Bus Co. and
the Indiana Bus Co. contend that
their purpose in request = the
committee 10 allow them ii privil-
eye of operating on Michigan st.
was to provide suitable shelter for
passengers during the winter
months the committee decided TO
table the petition because of the
necessity of repeating or amending
the present traffic ordinance. The
fact that other lines would later re-
quest the use Of the same street.
further congesting traffic, compelled
the committee 10 withhold their
permission.
Atty. a. L. Gilliom appeared be-
fore the committee for VIII II.
Weaver. local distributor. and point
ed out the disadvantages of ordin-
ance No. $3.50. relating 10 the dis
tribution Of advertising material.
AS the ordinance now stands. a per-
init for such distribution must be
obtained from the Chief of Police.
Weaver has requested that the or
dinance be amended so that any
competent party connected with the
police department will have the
right TO issue such permits.
The practice of securing a separ-
ate permit and the submitting OF a
sample OF the advertising matter
before each distribution, results in
great loss of time and money TO
the distributor, according 10 Weav-
er and for this reason has requested
the council 10 allow him a standing
permit.
