Curtis said that he was sorry that the public was subjected to this hardship and that he believed that the jitneys were a great convenience and almost a. ne- cessity. “I believe,” said the mayor, “that if jitneys are to go, the Pub- lic Utilities Commission should force the trolley company to give better service and to cut down on the fare within the city limits.
