Ole might observe that heretofore we have been rendering late bus service on Saturday and Sunday nights. It has been suggested that more frecuent bus service be rendered on Sunday morning between 7 and 10:30 o'clock. Vie shall make an immediate study of the public needs and we are sure that we -can arrange to meet every reasonable request for such service. '09 J 0 r 1 U • • 11 U •
