"I lon't want to tee the boys put out of business. It is the coming means of transportation. People are clamoring f"r service and soon the jitney will become a public utility. A number of states have alreatly placed it in the hands of the railway commissioners," he contin ued. Goohtl is llcai! Again. ( W. Copp of this city, appeared before the council and asked where the demand for the ordinance came from and why the jitney should be regulated when there hal been no demand made by the public?
