Bus am Passes House.

The motor bus control bill was
passed by the house of representatives,
1O8 to 18, after it weathered a four
hour storm of protest from several
legislators who insisted the measure
would drive the busses from the high
ways. But when the final vote was
taken, most OF the opponents voted
for the bill, although their amend
ments to loosen two of the most i'm
portant sections were rejected. All
bus lines operating in Minnesota, ex-
cepting those running within city
or between contiguous cities, such as
the Twin City bus lines, are affected
by the bill. 1t is provided that the
railroad and warehouse commission
shall have control of bus lines, deter
mining what routes buses shall oper-
ate upon, the kind of service they
shall give, the rates of fares charged
and the amount of liability insurance
to be carried.

the author. Mr.. Stockwell brought out

his plans were ambitious, but he failed

Not at All Singular

the other guests were English, too.
