' | j | | “Iéys to busés—-among them PAGE SIX ‘By ARLEN EWOLF AP.Newsteatures Writer YORK.—In. city after, city, the clanging of the trol-: y bell is being drowned out, by the honking of the bus horn. | ~The buses may not have the, personality of the old street cars, ' but they get the passengers where | they’re: going in better style. } Many-cities already have emeig a complete changeover from trol-! Hon-} ston, Antonio, Syracuse, Fort Worth; Jacksonville, ‘Miami, Nashvalle, Hartford and Grand! Rapids. The: trend began before the war. Thomas E. Willier, trans- portation engineer, reports that in 1934, there were 43,000 street} cars and only 18,700 city buses in} the country. ‘Ten years later, the proportion had just about re- versed: itself, with 27,000 street cars and .48,000 city buses. -Sev- eral hundred buses will be add- ed to that score next year in New! York alone, when the Third Ave. | Transit Co. hopes to replace ail} its trolleys along five main thor-; oughfares, ‘including Boardway and 42nd street. | Bus Takes Right of Way | During the war, bus line expan-} sion was handicapped by lack of equipment, gasoline rationing, bigger. passenger loads due to: lack of private cars on the road, and shortages of tires and labor. Now that these shortages have eased up, Willier says, the trolley is giving the bus the right of way again. At the turn of the century, dur- ing the hey-day of the stréet car, the choicest home sites lay along the trolley routes connecting resi- dential areas with downtown dis- tricts, and many people stil can remember hanging out*a lantern on tha front porch to flag the cars. New York was the first city in the country to have tracked ve- hicles—horse-drawn cars which speeded along Broadway at a aizzy clip in 1827. The first of these cars,was christened the “Ac- commodation,” and was followed by the “Sociable”. One of the first electrically powered street ears appeared in’ Montgomery, Ala., ig 1886. Ho!For Trolley Excursion In those days, the trolley was recreation as ‘well as transporta- tion. Shirt-waisted Gibson Girls and their stiff-collared, bowler- toppedzbeaus rode the street cars just for the fun of it, especially in the summertime. Trolley excursions were so pop- ular tHat many street car com- panies -owned amusement parks. Clubs -often ‘chartered a whole line offirolleys for yearly outings ~-the leading car was decorated with multi-colored lights, and carried a blaring brass band. It was the labyrinth of street car lines in Brooklyn, incidental- ly,. which gave baseball’s Brook- lyn Dodgers their original name. In* the trolley era, they were known as the Trolley Dodgers. ‘The -beginning of the end of this carefree era of the trolley, the dime novel, and the tandem bicycle came with the automo- bile. and the explosion of the cit- ies® throughout suburban areas— people didn*t have to rely on trol- ley! lings for transpoftation, and moved off the” beaten trolley traek. Shuttle Buses First Bus lines edged into the transit Soe picture-as shuttle services to get] thé passéngers from their door- steps té the’ main -trolley lines. 4s city life began to take on| some of the hustle-bustle some of its efficiency. Traffic jams caused by the popularity of private,.cars slowed the trolleys and made the traffic-dodging bus a faster way of traveling. ‘The bus doesn’t hog the middle of the road, explains transporta- tion engineer Willier, former pro- ‘fessor of transportation at Yale and now market and traffic con- | sultant for Douglas Leigh, Inc.| It’s safer, because it picks up and discharges passengers at the curb. Even in cities, where the trol- ley is surviving today, it’s in.a new streamlined form that makes the old street car look like a poor | that street cars carry more .peo-| we)K kyow today, the old trolley lost| ‘ relation, In such cities as Atlanta, Cleveland, and Philadelphia, the comparative cheapness of street car electric operation, and the fact ple per unit.than buses, has stim- ulated the use of the trackless trolley. These modern cars de- rive their pcwer from overhead lines, but are not tracked, and can! nose over to the curb when ne- cessary. The Super-Trolley’s Here Other cities, like Washington, ; D. C,, have“begun te make use of the super-trolley called the PCC {president’s conference tommit- | tee) car. A far cry from the old open-sided summer trolley, or the winter cars of day which were equipped with pot-bellied | stoves frequently fired by the! ssengers, the PCC cars are the t Word in modern streamlining. ‘hey boast rubber - cushioned wheels, smooth starting and stop- ping, quiet operation and electric braking. Cars like these, transit experts believe, may continue: to be used on major transit routes in some large cities. ; But no matter how you look at! { it, the happy hey-day of:the old trolley has passed. Like the horse and buggy, there will probably always be a few around for nos- talgic souls to reminisce about, hut even when ngstalgic people wart to get somewhere they take a train or a bus these days, LEGALS IN THE CUIT COURT OF THE ELEV JUDICIAL CIRCUIT IN AND FOR MONROE COUNTY, STATE OF FLORIDA.

When this part of Paris still was countryside beyond the lim- its of the old city, a sinister aban-} doned Chateau de Vauvert occu-| pied the property. At nighis be- wildered farmers heard eerie fes-| tivities in the mysterious castle} and many believed the ghost of the lord of Vauvert had returned | for nocturnal orgies. Others main-} tained ¢hat a gang of crooks were, using ‘the abandoned chateau for! their headquarters and were cele- brating frequent holdups. } The place soon acquired such a) fearful reputation that King Louis XI ordered the castle demolished. It promptly was purchased at a most modest price by the monks of Chartreux. Then Parisians sai the ghosts had been jnvented*b, the monks to drive a good bar- gain. z Eventually the Duc de Piney- uxembourg bought the property. He built a new chateau and im- proved the grounds so well that the place became permanently identified with his name. By the beginning of the 17th century the property emerged from the woods and vineyards of , the south suburbs of Paris and Henry IV’s second wife, the Ttalian-born queen Marie de Me-} dici, becoming a widow, bought the land and built the present: Luxembourg Palace.
