 "To defeat the jitney owners ordi- nance will mean reduced car fares. move paved streets and more street lights, without additional cost; it will mean permanent, dependable transportation; it will preserve the property values of citizens homes; it will prevent a montply being placed in the hands of PAP jltney owners in their fly by night enterprise, and under their mushroom policies with out restraint restrictions or regula- tion by the peoples representatives al the city hall.
 "The campaign against the Jltney owners ordinance has welded the substantial, home-loving citizens of this community into a compact unit Cf opposition against the selfish in- terests of these Irresponsible jitney operators and their effort to secure a stranglehold on the public trans portation situation of our city.
 The citizens committee believes that there has never been a question submitted to the voters of Birming- ham which will more vitally affect the interests tf the average citizen than the question of this ordinance. and that there has never been a time when it was more vital for the cti- zens to go to the polls and express their convictions.
