says he will not take the franchise if
the Council Intends to grant the fran

cabs. Under the new zone system
which Commissioner Dieck will put in
effect Thursday the Jitneys will have
to give service throughout the city and
will have to operate at least to all
points close in for 5 cents.
It is expected that when the Jitneys
continue to operate as jitneys under
taxicab guise they will come face to
face with trouble, inasmuch as there is
an ordinance now in effect prohibiting
jitneys from operating without a fran
chise. This ordinance was drafted and
championed in the Council by Commis

the Nagle restaurant at Second and
Burnside streets. When the police

to Second and Couch streets, where he
mounted a box and orated against the
