that the proposed new line might IN
crease the night school attendance.
Frank Davis of Maryland avenue and
Garrison road, builder, who said that
he had lived in the neighborhood IL
years, declared that the road would not
stand heavy traffic, and he Thought that
operation of buses on 1t would be eX-
tremely hazardous to children in the
road.
Mrs. Frank Davis, who followed her
husband on the stand, said that her
principal objection to the bus line on

ardize the lives of children. Her own
little girl and her playmates would be
subject to this risk, she said. With
good, wide road on which to operate,
she explained that she would be IN
favor of a bus line.
Because he thought It would en-
danger the lives of children on Garrison
road was the reason given by E. G.
