held I20 riders at the
1914 peak now had 1874

The manpower shortage is no

DSR has stopped hiring motormen

drivers still exists.
I'VE weren't able to hire very
many Of them until the japanese
war ended" he said. 1--WE have
a number I'm training now and
we expect TO improve the bus
service considerably in the near
future"
The DSR's decline in service
has been accompanied by a de-
cline in its prosperity.
Although its vehicles in
July were jsmmed as never
before. the system lost $751;

In view Of this, DSR Off

that the system can resume
