KANSAS CITY, Mo-. June "a
City ordinances hold no terrors for

The most recent loophile adopted
to thwart effectiveness Of the anti
jitney ordinance-passed at q recent
session Of the Council and upheld by
a decision Of the State supreme court
lis the establishment Of numerous
livery clubs throughout the city.
A little more than two years ago
the Kansas City Railways Company
succeeded in forcing the jitneys to
cease operations on the streets where
there are street car tracks. The street
car company contended that II was
a violation of their franchise to per-
nit jitneys to use street car
thoroughfare in transportation COM
petition.
For more than two months scores
Of citizens have thronged the Coun-
Gil chambers at each meeting in an
effort to present petitions asking re.
peal of the ordinance now in vogue
against the jitneys. An early repeal
Of the odinance Is anticipated, par.
ties familiar with the situation state.
A relentless campaign, in which
friends Of the Jitney men will deliver
addresses to the voters in every ward
