Maxwell Smith, General Manager of tbe Keystone Automobile Club, fat a statement issued recently. "In competition with trains on rails, express busses tear down the highways aa if they owned the right sf way upoa which they operate," he continued. "Tbe Whtte Basse Pike is a hor. rlble aramphi ef a buss speedway, made unsafe by the reckless operation ef busses which are regulated only by s desire for speed. "Taking advantage of the 'right if weight' the busses dash down the center of the highway, giving quart er to.none, screeching through dense traffic, breaking all laws of the road sad of common Sense wtth nought to cheek them. "Th* majority ef theee busses belong to tbe great utility corporations. "Bet when th* vigilant Nsw Jersey Police si tested the drivers oa charges of speeding or reckless driving the only effect to to cause the poor unfortunate* cog in the machin cry ths less ef his Bvelihood. Another driver—-bending his. will to meet tb* dractic schedules laid down by the great utilitites is soon speeding down th* highway ia ths asms reckless manner—la the samejaugger- nsjst* "The bus companies are a , unit ia putting th* responsibility for this reckless opertion upon the driver*. "The driven oa the other hand state that schedules cannot be maintained unless high speed to made. Ia thia statement they are probably cornet. At least on* schedule allows but 10 minutes from Central Philadelphia to the other end of the ■P*3o~are River Bridge-—* trip Thflistg- 8* iii i hi I ni trafftt'"t*l« ortiV- narily takes twenty minutes for a safe driver. Is it any wonder that S driver finds himself 10 minutes behind schedule snd tries to make up tiie lost time to keep hto job. "Th* remedy seems to us to be a penaty en the owners of the bus lines rather than tiie drivers. "There to at present no power that can regulate interstate bus traffic Congress has failed to enact the Parker Bus Bill which would have created a commission to supervise such • interstate operation and until such legislation to provided schedules can be made, broken or changed with impunity. "Banning the vehicles from the road which have been proven guilty of reckless operation would cure the trouble st the source. As soon as the big utility companies found thst a fleet of their buses were tied up and unable to operate schedules would be mads thst would not put a premium! on reckless operation and drivers would be instructed to adhere to those schedules. "The Keystone Automobile Club recently brought thto matter to tee attention of Commissioner ef Motor Vehicles, Harold G. Hoffman of New Jersey, who replied that he was cognizant of ths situatiton and was taking every means to cope with the situation. "Mr. Hoffman stated that more than 100 convictions of bus owners and driver* for infractions of motor vehicle laws had been obtained last week. * a a Rev. and Mrs. Raymond S. Hittinger aad cltniren left by motor Tuesday for tabs eastern part ef the state, wher* thoy wfll visit friends get tea dp-* er two weeks. By this time everybody realizes that buses snd large moving vans see ws infernal nuisance on the highway stud /the jprrdjlege should never bave"been granted, and possibly the Legislature to aware by now that a monumental pises of blunder- eng legislation was passed and enacted into law. It to not too late to corretjt the mistake and it to to be hoped that th* incoming legislator* will pass aa aet greatly limiting the speed of buses, if aot ruling them from the highways of the stste The service they reader belongs to the railroads, which were duly chartered for thto purpose long years age, and thto privilege should never hav* been permitted to have been usurped by bu* transportation com pantos.

Maxwell Smith, General Manager of tbe Keystone Automobile Club, fat a statement issued recently. "In competition with trains on rails, express busses tear down the highways aa if they owned the right sf way upoa which they operate," he continued. "Tbe Whtte Basse Pike is a hor. rlble aramphi ef a buss speedway, made unsafe by the reckless operation ef busses which are regulated only by s desire for speed. "Taking advantage of the 'right if weight' the busses dash down the center of the highway, giving quart er to.none, screeching through dense traffic, breaking all laws of the road sad of common Sense wtth nought to cheek them. "Th* majority ef theee busses belong to tbe great utility corporations. "Bet when th* vigilant Nsw Jersey Police si tested the drivers oa charges of speeding or reckless driving the only effect to to cause the poor unfortunate* cog in the machin cry ths less ef his Bvelihood. Another driver—-bending his. will to meet tb* dractic schedules laid down by the great utilitites is soon speeding down th* highway ia ths asms reckless manner—la the samejaugger- nsjst* "The bus companies are a , unit ia putting th* responsibility for this reckless opertion upon the driver*. "The driven oa the other hand state that schedules cannot be maintained unless high speed to made. Ia thia statement they are probably cornet. At least on* schedule allows but 10 minutes from Central Philadelphia to the other end of the ■P*3o~are River Bridge-—* trip Thflistg- 8* iii i hi I ni trafftt'"t*l« ortiV- narily takes twenty minutes for a safe driver. Is it any wonder that S driver finds himself 10 minutes behind schedule snd tries to make up tiie lost time to keep hto job. "Th* remedy seems to us to be a penaty en the owners of the bus lines rather than tiie drivers. "There to at present no power that can regulate interstate bus traffic Congress has failed to enact the Parker Bus Bill which would have created a commission to supervise such • interstate operation and until such legislation to provided schedules can be made, broken or changed with impunity. "Banning the vehicles from the road which have been proven guilty of reckless operation would cure the trouble st the source. As soon as the big utility companies found thst a fleet of their buses were tied up and unable to operate schedules would be mads thst would not put a premium! on reckless operation and drivers would be instructed to adhere to those schedules. "The Keystone Automobile Club recently brought thto matter to tee attention of Commissioner ef Motor Vehicles, Harold G. Hoffman of New Jersey, who replied that he was cognizant of ths situatiton and was taking every means to cope with the situation. "Mr. Hoffman stated that more than 100 convictions of bus owners and driver* for infractions of motor vehicle laws had been obtained last week. * a a Rev. and Mrs. Raymond S. Hittinger aad cltniren left by motor Tuesday for tabs eastern part ef the state, wher* thoy wfll visit friends get tea dp-* er two weeks.
