Express to sylvan avenue" meaning that the first stop to discharge passengers will be at the junction of Sylvan avenue and Baldwin street. A man waiting to take the bus at the cor ner of Mill and Baldwin or Bridge and Baldwin streets after leaving il nice warm factory, and standing in the bitter wind and cold these nights, tired. hungry and cold. wait Ing to get ride home and have bus after bus pass him by. because there was no more room for him and then have the bus leave of passengers at all the stops that should be taken care of by the Baldwin street bus. would have every reason to "crab". The Baldwin street patrons don't seem to realize that they have lb minute service all day. and 10 minute service during the supper hour. from 3 o'clock to C and to be the means of denying some people living out in the woods or where only one bus operates. ride nome after hard days work. is using very poor Judgment altogether. So here's lots of good wishes to those responsible for making room for the folks living "at the end of the line".
