NORTH ALABAMA CITIES MAY LOSE JITNEY. SERVICE
Failure To Comply With State Law Charged
 By Board
lState CapitaI Bureau.)

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Nov. It, Citations were issued by the Alabama Public Service commission today to 32 jitney operators of Huntsville and four such operators of Gadsden, Alabama City and Attalla to show cause why they should not be required to discon- tinue operations for failure to comply with the Alabama law governing opera tion of jitneys.
 These citations were the first of the kind to be issued by the Alabama Pub lie Service commission. They are based on provisions of the new 1923 code, which requires jitneys operating in competition with urban and inter- urban street railway systems to obtain certificates of convenience and neces- sity such as are required for other public utilities from the public service commission.
 Unaware Of Law
 The Alabama Public Service commis- sion, it is stated, was unaware that such a provision of law had been writ ten into the new code until it's atten- tion was called to the provision follow ing the publication of the code, which added the duty of regulating jitneys to the numerous other duties of the com mission.
 Complaints reached the commission that jitneys were being operated Tn the cities referred to without the required certificates of convenience and neces- sity, resulting in the citations being issued.
 Hearing on the citations, in case of Huntsville jitneys, was set for Decem.. Der 8 at Huntsville, and in case oi those at Gadsden and vicinity, for De- cember at Gadsden.
 The list of jitney operators at Hunts. vile to whom citations were issued comprises: z E. Balcomb, B. Martin Cantrell w. Huston, Charlie Williams Claude Seagrove, Wash Grigsby, s. S. Johnson, William Tanning, Willie Pack Ter, J. H. Madox, c. NJ. Maddox, Robert l.. Gillis, s. R. Jacobs, John Fackler D. $. Drake. Erwin Goodman, Gussie Stray, Ben Erskin, Roy Mccoy, John Overton, P. B. Kennedy, Milton Conley, Johnie Tigue, H. l.. Steakley, W. H. Bailey, W. o. Fox, Henry Kibble, J. A. Scroggins, Rony Matthias, J. R. Newby, c. F. Turner, and Jodie Quinn
 The list of citations to jitney opera tors at Gadsden, Alabama City and Attalla comprises the Dixie Stage line. The Pepper Bus line, Peters Bus line and Ike Sabel.
