COMMUNICATION: Copy to City Council Northern Indiana Transit Company February 24, 1958 South Bend, Indiana Gentlemen: Why have you taken the 9:10 bus off the Lincolnway and Beacon Heights line on Saturday Morning? You know, we sales people all have to work Saturdays, and the way you have the Saturday schedule now, makes it impossible for us to get to work on time or much too early to go to work. Your Beacon Heights bus leaves at 9:20, the Ardmore leaves the end of the line at 9:15, both buses arriving down town after 9:30. Why can't you schedule the Beacon Heights bus the same as work days. We are forwarding a copy of this letter to our city council. Respectfully yours, Signed by Gladys Carey, 1301 North Olive Street, and 11 others. Councilman Kroll made a motion that the communication be referred to the Board of Public Works and Safety. Councilman Hahn seconded the motion.
