There are 345 busseS engaged in op-
Grating for the transfer of pas
'SengerS in the State-some between
cities and others in the counties to

take into consideration the jitneys
operated in the confines of the cities
and which do not enter the counties.
In addition to this, there are al
ready 22 freight busses in operation.
The number of passengers carried
monthly by these conveyances is hard
TO estimate-some of them Grating
four cars. some two and others as
many as harf a dozen. The cars are
built for passenger service and are
comfortable and speedy. That the
,hnes are successful is shown by
the number of proposals for the
est biishment of new routes. These
. as great as 40 miles, they make about
20 miles an hour and the fare is held
reasonable.
The freight busses are operating
over distances that average about 25
: miles, the cars making two round
( trips each day, and they are hauling
heavy shipments. including immense
/ quantities of produce.
