'JITNEY OWNERS ARE UNDER FIRE Councilmen Express Opinions of Busses in No Complimentary Manner. Lot of fault was found with the, Jitney bus traffic of .'outh Fend at thp regular me'ting of the com luittee !' the whole of the common council l.i i-t night. The- re.-uU of a licly dis(ii''ioii wa.s the abandonment of the ordinance recently drawn up by City Atl. S t'liirt, and tlu- rdiMiiiitlci'.s instruction to him and the ordinance committee to prepare another ordinancewhich would be more strinucnt ill lt.s treatment of Ii-rie has and bfi-id. to say nothing f indemnity IM.MinUlcc. The matter of irstalling a light at the intersect i( ai of College st. and l he C. 1. & nnlro.nl tracks was inoefinitcl y post jioned, the council, after ;i jfnirnoy t tlu point in question, arriving at the decision that the f-u Vrk Central lines should not br hel.i tinri m billy liable for its installation and maintenance. An ordinance with that proposal was tabled. SYeral councilmen maintained that -iii arc light, or two or three lncanlrrptit lights in tho vicinity of College ami Werwinski sts. wotild sulllciently light the romniunitv, and in the near future recommendations to that effect will bo made to the board f public works. Could lr "Nasty." In discussing the jitney bus situation, more than one member of the council made it clear Coat he favored stringent regulation. It was declared that the- t rathe in this city had presented more than one problem in the past few months, and that if such conditions Were allowed to progress unchecked, lawlessness would be a feature of the jitney business in .outh Lend. "There are sr many little nasty things one could pay about the jitney bus traffic i that one hesitates to he-i-m." said otip member. "However, it is not the. desire ef this council to drive them completely from the city. Imicad we are only too glad to have tbem since they are the leaser of two great utilities evils in outh Fend." Councilman Goebel did not favor the option given jitney bus drivers v. ithoiit regulation of driving only on streets where car tracks have been installed. "It was an enormous expense to Mie street car company." said he, "to in.-tall the miles and miles of track in South Bend, and the pavement for v hich they also paid is being used by a competitor for gain. Personal unity. If nothing else, should sway the opinion of this council in this matter. Let there be competition, but let that competition be waged by fair means." Sechlrt Shoots Holt. City Atty. Seebirt startled the council members, and at the same time threw a new light on the situation with the declaration that there was not a surety company in the country which would write such a bond ai had been mentioned as a necessity in the new ordinance about to be drawn up. "It is true that they will write Indemnity insurance,'; he said, "but the rate would be almost prohibitive, by this method the bus driver would be reimbursed for damages awarded plaintiff in a court. Hut first he would be compelled to stand the expense of the trial, which would not be returned to him in any event." Councilman Hagerty stated that the t raltic had been uiven plenty of time, and that the confusion of the past week, and the rapidly increasing number of buses made it almost imperative that some stringent method of reflation be adopted. He urged tnar each driver be compelled to put up a bond with the city of $".i'O0 and pay ;:n annual license fee of not less than S.'O. "A $10. Mini bond would be more, suitable." declared Hagerty. Like other members of the council who urged a more stringent ordinance. Hagerty declared himself not particularly friendly to the street car company, although his attitude in tne jitney bus matter was stated plainly. "Time I la- Come." "Here we have two public utilities. ne of which is Indispensable." said one council member. "They are competitors, and the city allows one utility such freedom that its profit is more easily attained than that of the other. We laid back in our seats when this matter was first broached and said that we would allow time to tell. Well, in my opinion, it has told, and the time for action has come." It w.is also Miggested that the new ordinance provide rout"- over which jitney buses exclusively shall travel, and to take them off the lines of the street car company entirely. The council member who propoed this provision was emphatic in his declaration that he was not speaking in behalf of the street ear company, ind that in no manner had its officials approached him on the subject. Councilman Hagerty further suuccMed that the section in the old ordinance barring minors from operatinc I'uses b removed. He .said that an s would be more age limit of 1 yearsuitable.
