JITNEY STATUS 10 DECEIVE STUDY Public Service Commission Will Have to Decide What the Act of 1913 Requires The status of a man who starts to run a jitney for public accommoda tion will be raised before the Public Service Commission this week through the complaint made by the Tarentum Auto Bus company against two indi viduals in that borough who have been running an automobile for hire. Un der the public service company law the companies and individuals en gaged in any form of public service enumerated such as carrying passen gers must secure certificates of public convenience from the commission. If the commission holds that a man who runs a jitney must get a certifi cate it will mean that thousands of persons will have to apply to the com mission or go out of business. In some of the cities there are hundreds oper ating under municipal licenses and the question whether these individuals, few of whom have more than one ear. are to be considered the same as an automobile bus or jitney company or a trolley line or a railroad raises one of the most interesting questions possi ble. The Senate bill to give cities the right to regulate jitneys Is on the House calendar and there will be a hot fight over It. Efforts to drop it from the calendar were frustrated a few days a,go. but will be renewed on the ground that it gives too broad pow ers to councils.

The commission was authorized to make the Inventory In 1913 following a recommendation by John K. Tener, then Governor, and the report filed with Governor Brum baugh represents the Initial -work, it being stated that lack of funds pre vents fillns of "a stock account of a valuable resource" of the State. The report is voluminouu represent ing the study of the water resources of 46,126 square miles of surface em braced in the State. Over 4,200 streams receive the water from this territory, while there are 860 water systems and 70 power stations without including mills and factories. The Susquehanna receives at the Maryland line the drainage of 27,006 square miles, the Ohio at the Slate line 23.- 247, of which 14,747 are within the State and the Delaware at the Dela ware line 11,358, of which 6,443 are inside Pennsylvania. Three hundred lakes, ponds, springs and fails are in cluded and there is a wide difference in rainfall. Culin is stated to have affected 1,000 miles of the water courses of the State and careful study is recommended. It is estimated that the State will have a pojhilatlon of 20,000,000 be tween 1950 and 1960 and congestion of population will requlro control of streams to prevent damage and for utilization of streams for transpor taion. The report says: "So irregular is the regimen of our streams that their fullest possible utilization cannot be realized until their flows have been regulated and tothis end reservoir controls appears beat adapted to Pennsylvania condi tions. As reservoirs are built mostly il'or obtaining water supplies and for water power developments, they may be expected to advance stream control to a greater extent than other means. Such works on tributaries will im prove their regimen and that of the rivers into which they flow, making them of greater value for all uses and assisting in lessening floods. Practical flood control may be secured by modi fying reservoirs built for revenue pro ducing purposes, but such changes additions to existing or proposed dams ishoUld be made at the expense of those to be benefited."
