Richmond has taken to the jitney bus. And the jitney bus has com'e to stay, according to the owner, G. M. Marx, who is planning to increase the scope of his business. "I do not want to say anything now" Mr. Marx said. "But in a few days, I will have my plans made for increased service. When I add more cars, I am going to advertise and work up a big jitney bus business here." Mr. Marx has consulted attorneys relative to a franchise from the city. Prosecuting Attorney Reller said the city probably cannot grant a franchise to operate jitney buses and the bus lines will be operated independently. It is understood jitney bus business has been booming, especially since Sunday when hundreds of persons ro.de east and west on the new line. Some reticence of patronizing the bus was shown the first few days but this has been overcome. Mr. Marx said he intenoG aiding a
