"JITNEY" SYSTEMS j PROVING POM New Transportation Movement Has Attained Wonderful Success in Many Cities The jitney bus business, which made its successful start in Harris burg yesterday with one Ford car, and is expected to develop to large pro portions when the Harrisburg Jitney Transportation Company secures its charter, is a movement that has sprung into almost instant popularity in all sections of the country. The jitney has come so suddenly that it is impossible to determine whether or not It is the forerunner of a permanent sorvice that will resist all the opposition that is sure to come. The authorities, both municipal and State, are wresting with the problem of proper regulation. Among the advantages of the jitney are the impossibility of the whole sys tem being tied up through accident to a central power plant; the freedom from crowded conditions and strap -1 hanging, and the accommodations of entering and alighting at any point along the street curb. Started in West The jitney bus idea originated in the West, where it has reached great proportions. In San Francisco, Los Angeles. Seattle and Portland, Ore., more than 4,000 jitneys are operating with daily receipts estimated at S2O - which means a loss to the street car companies of about $7,000,000 a year. In some Western cities the trolley companies have started to light the "jits." but the busses have come back with the threat "three cents for children," and the electrics have been silenced. In Kansas City 1,700 jitneys are in operation. In less than two weeks after the first 5-cent bus appeared there were more than 100 in business, and the large number now are said to be doing good business, every car usu ally being filled, morning, afternoon and night. Grew Up Overnight The jitney business in Houston, Texas, grew up overnight and now in cludes 250 cars. The first step toward city regulation is now in progress and the jitney men fear it will ruin their business. At a recent meeting of the bus drivers in that city an overage net income of to $4 a day was re ported. In I>os Angeles, claimed to be the city of the birth, it is not now so profitable on account of the great numbers who have taken up the busi ness. The first Ford jitney was seen last summer and now there are more than 1.500 in use, making such com petition that receipts have dwindled so as almost to ruin the business. The daily receipts average about $4.50, and expenses $2 or $2.50 for an eight hour day. According to I-os Angeles street railway officials, trolley receipts have decreased about $2,000 a day since the advent of the jitney. >lakc (itHMI Prollts In Seattle, Wash.. 600 jitneys are operating at an average daily profit of $2.33. The first bus made its ap pearance two and a half months ago, and it is estimated that at the end of a year the traction company's busi ness will have been reduced SI,OOO - After the first leap into instant popularity, the excitement waned somewhat, and the large number of accidents due to inexperienced drivers and abnormal congestion at crossings further reduced their popularity, ex cept on short hauls. In Baltimore the jitney system was recently introduced and is a success, according to the promoters. The lines carry passengers over a route two and "a half miles for 5 cents. In Philadelphia the jitney is favored as offering a relief to the transit problem. The first bus was started several days ago and it is expected that the number will rapidly increase. Watts Tells Newport Folk About Telephony S. B. Watts, local manager of the Bell Telephone company. of Penn sylvania, delivered an illustrated lec ture last evening before the Men's Business Association of Newport, his subject being "The Growth of a Great Modern Utility." Mr. Watts delivered a lecture sev eral weeks ago on "The Telephone Girl" before this same organization and there were so well pleased that they requested a return engagement. Mr. Watts dealt principally with the history of the telephone from the date of invention down to the present time w-tth its modern appliances which makes possible a conversation from ocean to ocean. Slides were shown of the Harrisburg exchange, outside con struction in the Harrisburg district and various scenes in connection with the installation of telephones and the establishment of service. A brief his tory was given of the men who have been responsible in a great measure for the rapid growth of this modern utility, all of whom living to-day. That which was especially interest ing to the audience was to learn the manner in which repairs are made to lines on which trouble has occurred. The use of motor trucks has greatly facilitated these repairs which are made promptly, regardless of weather conditions and the distance trouble may be from an exchange.
