R. Jovington, secretary of the California Jitney as- soclation, urged slight modifications of the features of the ordinance re- lating to bonds, routes and gchedules. In & statement to the council Mr. Cov-| ington said: “Regulation of -the Jitney business {s recognized by the jitney men | A% & necossity. This fs an infant in-| dustry and should not be dealt with too | harshly until it has attained its ma- Jority. 1 predict that within the next four or five years the Jitney will have supplanted the present method of street car transportation. We have 6,000 jitneys In operation In California and the bum- ness I8 not yet a year old. In the city of London there are 2,20 motor buses handling @ per cent of the business on an investment of $15,000,000, whereas, the Cost of the former traction system han- AUGUST 21, 1915. > dling the same business was $52.000,000.” | The city solicitor maintatned that defi- | nite routes and at least a semblance of schedules should be maintained Extracts from Mr. Fleharty's letter to| the eity council are as follows: “The protest (referring to the referen- dum petitions filed), contains no objec- tions to the ordinance, no suggestions of amendment desired, and no request of any character, and obviously to the voters at the gemeral election in 1916, or at a special election, “For that purpose it Is clearly inef- fective. 1 have hefore me the numbers of seventy-eight cars operating as fitneys on the streets of thig city since July 31 These jitneys are operating without any provision of any character for the pro- | tection of any man, woman or child in- Jured by such Jitneys. The haszard of operating automobiles on our streels is clearly fllustrated by our pelice records. When cars possessing such possibilities |of Injury are offered as common car- riers for the safe transportation of the publie, it would be eriminal to fail to make such limited provision for the safety of the public as lies within the power of the city. “The fact that it requireq an Iroquols theater horror to bring about legislation to provide for the safety of the theater- going public, or an Bastland catastrophe to agitate provisions for public safety on {rivers and lakes, ought not to make it inecessary to delay provision for the safety of the public traveling on our streets, until such legislation is ushered in to the accompaniment of a funeral dirge. “This bond which some jitney operators object to so strenuously is as low as consclence and due regard for public walfare will permit. Bighteen eities have adopted ordinances requiring bond in the sum of $10,000; seventeen cities, by ordi- designed | to produce a reference of said ordinance | nance, and three states, by legislative enaciment, have placed the minimum bond at $5,000. This ordinance requires ut a minimum bond of 32,000, placing Omaha so far as the bond provision is | concerned in a class with Little Rock Des Moines, Tucson and other places. A requirement of $2,000 is below that of Mason City, Cedar Rapids, Davenport and Sioux City Secret Session Leaks Disturbing | to Board Members Letting the cat out of the bag by the exclusive publication in The Bee of the determination of the majority of the teachers’ committes to abolish the nor- mal training school, is sald to have cre- ated no little consternation on the top floor of the city hall. As explained, it is not the accuracy of The Bee's report that s making the trouble, but the fact that exposure of the pwn "“to keep it dark,” and force the report through the next board meeting under cover of sec- recy, is disturbing. “This star chamber performance,” de- clared a man who kept in close touch Wwith school matters, “ought to give a boost to the movement to let In the ligh of day on the activities of the board's committees, which, In fact, are the whole thing, but which have been doing all their busineas behind closed doors. Per- haps it's no worse now than it used to be, but the whole thing is wrong. The committees are as much public bodies as the board, and have no right to transact public business by stealth. I know that a lot of things just like this have been done in the darkness of the committee room that would not have been done if the public had a chance to look on.” SUNDAY T0 LIVE AT LOYAL HOTEL Local Committee Selects This as ths Stopping Place of the Evangelist in Omaha. BANQUET FOR BUSINESS MEN “Billy” Sunday will live at the Loyal hotel during the coming reli- fginus campaign in Omaha, which be- |gins September 5. | This was decided at & meeting of the executive committee Friday. The |report of the entertainment commit- |tee recommending this arrangement | was unaniously adopted. The com- mittee consisted of Rev. E, H. Jenks, Rev. F. T. Rouse and F. D. Wead. | The hotel was selected, because none of the private homes avallable was suitable in size and location to the needs of the party. There are twelve members of this party, all of them being active workers in the campaign, even to “Ma" Sunday, as Mrs, Sunday s called. The hotel, located at Sixteenth street and Capitol avenue, is only two blocks from the tabernacle, and this is a large consideration in its selection. About fifteen rooms will be required, several of them being set aside for com- mittee meetings and the like. A blg banquet of business men inter- ested In the Sunday campaign will be given at the Commercial club rooms Mon- day evening, August 30. It is expected to make it a dollar-a-plate affair.
