Regulation of Jitney Bus
Conies With Growth of Idea

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

this decrease was dus to an oversup

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,-;

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to be withdrawn.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,

llieve that they will find themselves

'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. And the Improved service
which the trolley companies of thtf
larger cities must give to meet the

her of fares. 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.

Reluctance
Here and there a freshly raised pile
of earth, some old boxes and barrels,
a heap of straw, someone's old cap,

only a few hours before—that's all
that the Sixth and Mahantongo streets
"show grounds" left this morning to
solacp the small boy.
For the circus has come—and gone.
Shucks, and the dreary monotony of
i just one school day after another with
j scarcely the excitement of even a wild
west show announcement on the blll-
I boards to relieve the graynes of it.

the long whostly trains of canvas-cov
| ered wagons, sleep-filled coaches, and
j murmuring animal cars, crept out of
I Harrisburg toward Williainsport after
a big day in the city's circus history.
