BUSSERV|CE
IS DISCUSSED
Feeling Here That Public Ser
vice Plan is Good One
Relief is Urged

BUS service in place of the Public
Service trolley cars has not proven
ail thai it should, according to many
Of the local merchants of the city,
and some declare hal business has
suffered thereby. Others, although
admitting that the bus service has
not proven all that could be desired.
point out that operating on the short
term permits as they are at this
time, the buses are giving as good
servGe as possible.
However, there is hardly a mer-
chant or resident of the city who de-
Ponds on transportation either to
bring customers here or to take
them to and from work. who is not
anxious to again have the trolleys in
operation. or course the five cent
fare charged by the bus operators
meets with the approval of the gen.
era public, but the schedule main
tanned on the trolley road, many de-
clare, is more to be desired than the
low rate of fare.
According to many of those who
have been questioned on the sub
ject the greatest drawback in con-
nection with the riding on the buses
is the disregard for schedules and
COAAiCNlAOAiSs las n q ! o01
to the fact that different lines are
operated by different persons and
they are naturally looking out for
themselves, but it is held. hat only
when the various owners of bus lines
come to some understanding and
agree to operate on a certain sched-
ule and make connections hat the
service will begin to equal that Civ
en- by trolley cars.
The most deplorable condition in
transportation as far as this city is
concerned is on the line operating
from Railway to this city. Factory
workers have complained on the
length of time consumed in the OPP
Grafton of the bus between these
two cities and the disregard of
schedules. Alderman Robert A. Nc
CURE, chairman of the bus COM
mittee, declares that the trouble
lies with the city of Railway, as the
officials of that city have failed to
cooperate with the local officials in
the operation of buses even though
requested to do so.
It is believed however that the
onditions on this route will be con-
iderably improved since the Public
Utility yesterday instructed City At
torney David #. Wilentz, that the
city could issue long term permits for
the operation of buses thus eliminat-
ing the objection of those who de-
.ired to operate over this line, that
it did not pay to purchase new up-to-
date buses for the service If they
would have to cease operation when
he trolley cars again started oper-
ton.
Oliver r Hatfield, secretary of the
ndus rial Association today when
uestioned as to his opinion of the
proposition submitted to the Public
Utility Commission by the Public
Service said t. plan was a clever
one and n ti.S should be seriously
o~nsidered, because it will establish
a schedule running time under prop
er supervision by responsible people.
Mr.. Hatfield maintained that the
buses have come to stay and there
hould be a concerted effort towards
the more centered control of the
bus lines.
