MAY CHANGE JITNEY SERVICE.
Committee Hopes to Add School Chil
dren's Fares to Maintenance.
The Southern Pacific company has
been asked by the bridge committee
of the Salem Commercial dub to
make a change in the operation of
the jitney service over the steel
bridge whereby the company's regu
lar trains will not take on passengers
on either side of the river, and to
put on additional jitney runs to han
die the traffic now being taken care
of by the regular trains.
This change would affect the hours
of the day when the cars are patro
nized by school children and the, ar
gument is made that the fares paid
bv them are needed in the mainten
ance of the jitney service to which
the fores paid on the regular trains
do not apply. Charles A. Park, of
the Commercial club's committee,
took the matter up with the railroad
company last week.
