ominous echoes Of tho jitney mass
meeting o! Monday night at William
Fox school resounded throughout
city Hall last night at joint ses-
sion ot city Council, and later al
the meeting Of the Board Of Alder
men. when Councilman James T..
Dickerson. arising to a point OF per-
sonal privilege. severely criticized the
attitude and the language of Richard
Evelyn Byrd at the meeting in Gues-
tion. when he criticized Councilmen
for their action in reference to the
JItney ordinance. and when Alder
men Ordway Puller and Marx Gunst
added their animadversions to what
already had been said.
Mfr. Dickerson was most severe In
his excoriation. He declared that
Mr.. Byrd. "a paid representative OF
the independent jitneurs." had heaped
censurc upon Council. and upon him
particularly. when he endeavored to
divert public attention from the or
dinance and its effects which he
stated were in the interests OF the
city and the people. To the creation
OF a sentiment which might tend TO
give the jitneys free rein to use

He made clear his connections
with the jitney ordinance. explaining
that he voted for IL because it ap-
peared II be the best instrument for

the jitneurs better opportunity 10

some revenue 10 the city. The repre-
sentatiNes OF tho jitneurs had ap-
pearcd before the committee and

selves as practically agreed that the
ordinance was acceptable.
