CLUB SUGGESTS UNION JUNCTION FOR SIXTRUCKS Jordan Calls Committee to Arrange Central Station for Convenience of Many Passengers.

BUSES ESTABLISHED

Citizens Ask Extension of lines ' to Parts of Richmond Not Reached by the Street Cars.

Drawing in trade from every corner of the county to Richmond and dally growing in popularity both as freight carriers and passenger lines, the various truck lines centering in this city and the Jitney buses operating on the city streets, have become established institutions and their : systemization and centralization will become a problem for the Commercial club committee on electric railroads. Charles W. jtofdan, chairman of the committee, said today he has called hla members together for a meeting this evening to take up this important question. His plan is to bring the various lines together and establish a bus station for passengers and freight, maintained on a pro rata basis by all lines using the central headquarters. Ask Bus Extensions. Regarding the jitney bus business, Mr. Jordan said he believes this means of city transportation has come to stay and it is now1 time it should be regulated. The buses are popular in the city and there seems to be a demand for branch lines off the city car tracks and for a headquarters where jitney buses can be reached by telephone. "I believe we can gather these lines together under one headquarters," Mr. Jordan said. "None of them are competitors, their only competition being the steam and electric lines. People are asking every day where certain truck lines can be reached. They are Inquiring of the means of reaching the jitney buses. I think the establishment of a central station has become a necessity." There are now six lines operating (tut Of Richmond in this and other Counties, reaching twelve or fifteen fcmall towns, Increasing the wholesale trade by freight business and aiding the retail trade by the passengers they bring to Richmond. These lines have terminals in Glen Karn, Economy, Hagerstown, New Paris, Lynn and Liberty. The committee will take up the proposition of asking the jitney bus owner to establish regular lines to south east Richmond where there are no cars, and to Riverdale, using North J street, a paved roadway, as the main line.
