Regulation of Jitney Bus Conies With Growth of Idea I; Situation in Many Cities Reviewed by Sunset Maga !; zine; Bill in Legislature Gives Cities Right to •I Pass Legal Restraints; Drastic Measures in Some Places; Heavy Indemnity Premiums; •; Dime Jitney's Salvation >WWWWW.%SVWW.WAV.V.W.SVWWAVWA'.S% With the increasing Jitney business In Harrlsburg there is a most insist ent demand that these automobiles be ySgul&ted in the interest of safety. Al ready there have been several narrow escapes from serious accident. and public sentiment demands that some definite regulation be provided. There is now pending in the Legislature a bill giving councils of cities power to regulate the Jitney business. The Sunset Magazine prints the following interesting article on the operation of the Jitneys in the West: "Though no statistics of reliable data on the subject are available, ac cording to all indications the number of Jitney buses has decreased material lv In the last two months. In part this decrease was dus to an oversup FRIDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH MAY 7, 1915 ply with the consequent reduction of average earnings. Other bus own ers dropped out because they found the business unprofitable, but the heaviest percentage of the decline is due to the regulative measures adopt ed by the authorities. In Oakland, California, in Angeles, in Port land, throughout the State of Wash ington the diminutive carriers were obliged to take out accident insurance In amounts ranging from $1,500 to SIO,OOO per car; several cities, not ably Oakland, Portland, Reno, Phoe nix and Boise, placed heavy special taxes on the Jitneys. Perhaps the most drastic of the ordinances is Boise's. The minimum tax is $75 a year, payable In advance, plus Indem nity insurance to the amount of $lO,-; f*~ T OMORROW morning at 9A.

The operator must ob tain a permit from the city council, must file a map of the route and a schedule of operation which must be maintained rigidly if the permit is not to be withdrawn. In addition the; driver must be at least twent-one years: old and must be able to "carry on an intelligent conversation" in the Eng lish language, probably for the bene fit of female passenger. The ordinance has the support of the Boise public, | especially of the suburbanites who he llieve that they will find themselves 1 without trolley service if the jitneys 'are allowed to skim the cream of the i short-haul business. "The financial status of the average jitney owner iR glaringly illuminated by the events in Phoenix where tht city council imposed a license fee of sixty dollars per annum, payable in advance. Out of a large fleet of jit neys operating before the passage of the ordinance only two or three sur vived the payable-in-advance clause, The others retired. "Despite the decrease In the number of vehicles operated, the Jitney bus has come to stay. But regulation has come to stay, likewise. Jitney owners everywhere may as well face the fact that they will have to pay special li censes, indemnity premiums, will have to keep passengers off the running iKiards and light the enclosed tonneau. It will cost more In the future to op erate a Jitney hus than It did in the beginning.

Yet the jitney Is per forming a real, substantial service, es pecially during the rush hours when the electric cars must inevitably bo overcrowded. But a nickel is not ade quate compensation for the quality of service rendered. Jitney owners will have to demand a ten-cent fare in or der to meet the cost of regulation and depreciation. They are already charg ing this amount for the short ride to the exposition grounds in San Fran cisco. "Ten cents for an automobile ride of two. or three miles is not an exorbi tant price."' Tt is stated that E. M. Snavel.v, who introduced the Jitney business at Mid dletown, has already concluded that there is not sufficient travel to war rant continuing the schedule service. It Is also stated that he has increased his price to ten cents. PIKK FOR PERRY STREAMS Blain, Pa., May 7.—Ten cans of pike from the State hatchery at Union City. Pa., consigned to Miles D.
