——The Pennsylvania Greyhound
Transit company has filed an appli-
cation with the Public Sevice Com-
mission for permission to abandon
its bus route between Williamsport
and the New York State line, near
Bullis. Lack of patronage is given as
the reason. In fact it is another case
of “dog eat dog.” A few years ago
the bus line came along and took a
large per cent of the passenger traf-
fic from the railroads. Now there
are so many privately owned cars
that the bus lines are having a hard
time keeping out of the red.

BOALSBURG HAS SCOURGE

It will be recalled that during the
winter there were quite a number of
cases in that town but prompt
