<br />The Board first examined communications referred by the Common Council, in accord
<br />with motion made by Councilman Niezgodski, seconded by Councilman Glass, and carried at
<br />the regular meeting of the Council held June 28th. The communications pertained to
<br />further complaints concerning bus service. A -group representing the motion picture
<br />theatres, being present, as well as Mr. John T. Martin, president of the Northern Indian
<br />Transit, Inc., City Attorney I. A. Hurwich proceeded to read the two communications
<br />to the assemblage, referred by the Common Council. A spokesman representing Balaban &
<br />Katz, and speaking also for the Avon Theatre, then proceeded to address the Board con-

<br />11:30 P.M. A great amount of discussion followed, participated in by various persons
<br />present, including Mr. Martin, who presented figures concerning the financial loss
<br />suffered by the bus company on its various routes from the operation of bus routes
<br />late at night from lack of patronage. One theatre operator stressed the fact that they
<br />operate as a public service every day in the week, regardless of the fact that their
<br />figures show certain days regularly fail to produce revenue to meet costs of operation,
<br />and expressed the opinion that late hour bus service should be maintained as a public
<br />service regardless of its failure to produce revenue sufficient to cover the cost of
<br />the service thus rendered. Various suggestions were offered, and the existence of
<br />similar conditions in other cities was cited by Mr. Martin. The Board then made the
<br />suggestion that the Northern Indiana Transit, Inc. prepare a report to the Board on
<br />the bus runs in operation after 11:00 P. M. daily, setting forth their reasons for
