July 21 —The worst of the jam of work incident to placing the new state bus law into effect is past, members of the state public service commission believed today. The latest report of Howell Ellis, secretary of the commission, shows that a total of 495 petitions have been filed for certificates to operate bus or truck lines. Two hundred and seventy-five of the cases have been closed and two hundred and twenty are still awaiting action. Os the cases closed. 250 here granted operating certificates. In sixteen of the remaining 25 cases petitions w ere denied. Seven petitions were withdrawn and two certificates were held up and will probably be granted later. Petitions have been filed for a rehearing in five of the cases where the original petitions were denied. Only eighty six of the petitions which have not yet been disposed of are still to be a signed to a commissioner. These cases, John W. McCardle, chairman of the commission said will be assigned at an early date. The fight ever control of transportation industry in Indianapolis between the street railway company and the The Peoples' Motor Coach Co., was cleared away last week. This will leave the way open for the commission to dispose in rapid order of cases which take much less the than the Indianapolis hearing required.
