Busses Also Allowed to Deviate From Routes Under PSC Order.

Another step has been taken by Indiana to facilitate transportation and the hauling of freight during

wartime. The public service commission yesterday eased bus and truck regulations allowing them to deviate five miles from their present routes, to haul any class of property over present routes and to extend routes for emergency purposes without formal hearings and applicatiohs. Trucking companies also are allowed, under the order, to interchange trailers and semi-trailers. The order is effective June 1, and terminates Dec. 31, 1944, unless the commission rules otherwise.
