JITNEYS ARE ON LAST DAY ONLY SEVEN DRIVERS HAD FILED BONDS UP TO LATE YESTERDAY. Union Officials Indicate That, for Pres ent, Cars Won't Run Tansle Over Surety Not Settled. This Is the last day for Jitneys to operate without bonds. Only seven drivers had filed bonds up to last night. ' City Commissioner Mann, who has charge of enforcing the ordinance passed by the voters requiring bonds from the drivers, says Mayor Baker has assured him that the police will stop all drivers from operating tomor row who do not file bonds as required. The Jitney Drivers' Union has indi cated to Commissioner Mann that the great majority of the Jitneys will not be running after today for a few days at least. Officials of the union say they have been unable to get their bond troubles patched up, the bonding companies being strict in insisting that drivers show a good record for careful driving. It had been the hope of the union that bonds could be obtained from a California company, but ar rangements have not been made. Jitney Inspector Gill says some of the drivers are expecting that some thing will happen to stave off enforce ment of the law.
