JITNEYS ARE TESTED
Inspector Gallup Starts Work
Under New Ruling.
DRIVERS ALSO EXAMINED
Cars Carefully Loked Over as Pre
cautionary Measure and Operat
ors Pot Through Oral and
Practical Inquiry.
Inspection of Jitney cars and exami
nation of drivers was started yesterday
by Jitney Inspector Gallup, as a result
of the order of Circuit Judge Ganten-
beln modifying the Jitney regulation or
dinance to the extent of requiring the
Jitneys to undergo examination monthly
by the city.
Inspector Gallup is receiving the cars
at the City Hall, where he has made
his headquarters in the office of Com
missioner Daly. It is proposed to ex
amine the cars and drivers as rapidly
as possible, eliminating the cars which
are unsafe and the operators who are
unable to drive properly and with abso
lute safety.
Upon making application for a permit
the Jitney driver first must sumbit his
machine for inspection. Mr. Gallup
goes over all the working parts to see
that they are in proper condition. The
inspection covers every feature of the
car which has anything to do with its
safety. m The driver is then subjected
to an examination. Inspector Gallup
rides beside him over a course which
involves various conditions and tests
the driver's ability thoroughly. The
driver is required to make emergency
stops and turns of various kinds, and
is examined as to his knowledge of the
traffic rules and regulations.
After this test the driver is subjected
to an oral examination. He Is required
to give his experience as a driver in
detail.
Cards have been Issued for use n
the outside of all inspected cars. As
soon as a driver and his car is passed
a tag is issued. This is posted on the
outside of the car for the benefit of the
police. All Jitney drivers are being in
structed by the police to report at the
City Hall for inspection. Within a
short time arrests will be made of
drivers of cars which fail to display
inspection tags. Inspection of cars will
be made monthly, or more frequently
if deemed necessary by Inspector
Gallup.

now increasing, and the lead over 114

of "pinches" made durlpg January and
February of that year, for April. May
and June of 1915 both lead 1914 in

from January 1 until June 30, 1915
the Portland police arrests numbered'
10.040, and for the same period In 1914
there were 10,712 person arrested.
