BUS
FIGHT MONDAY
Opposition to Board of Alder
men Awarding James Dou-
kas Four More Permits

Present indications are that the
application of James Doukas for four
additional bus permits to operate in
this city over the Perth Amboy.
South Amboy and Keyport route will
be opposed at the meeting of the
aldermen Monday night by counsel
for and friends of William Rosen-
vinge who was granted two addition
al bus permits last Monday night.
It was the original intention of the
aldermen to award both Doukas and
Rosenvinge and another applicant,
Wolff Cohen, all the permits they
asked for last Monday night but
counsel for Rosenvinge, together
with friends of the bus owner argu-
ed with members Of the board until
the chairman of the bus committee,
Alderman Robert A. Mcclure, was
persuaded to recommend that only
two permits be granted Doukas in
stead of four.
Alderman Mcclure recommended
that two permits be granted Doukasi
but Alderman Waters Immediately
| moved that the recommendation be
amended so that four permits in
instead of two be granted Doukas
The aldermen failed to vote n the
question of whether or not the re-
commentator should be amended.
They then proceeded to vote on
the amended recommendation fa-
voring the issuance Of four permits
to Doukas, Alderman MCGUIRE
passing on his vote and Alderman
at-Large Calvin voting no" AL
though the amended recommends
ton was passed it was admitted that
the measure had not been regularly
passed and it will be necessary to
vote again on the recommendation
Monday might. It is a question
whether the da limrenlewyCathoh
whether the aldermen will vote in a
like manner Monday night as they
may be convinced in the meantime
that two permits are sufficient for
Doukas.
The bus matter last Monday night
took up a large portion of the coun-
ellis time as the rival operators are
vigorously opposing the granting of
additional permits to others on tho
line.
