We respeotfully urge that the City Council find some way to encourage the building and developing of a competing marine ways here, as competition generally takes care of the many abuses monoply thrives on. Also that someone be obtained thnt will give the channel lights the attention necessp.ry to permit them to render the service they were designed for. . 'I..

It might pay if it would run on time. If the people could depend on ito Often it does not run and a taxicab makes the run, but the taxicab is so much in a hurry that it passes by the passengers waiting on the street. Does the contraot with the bus line not call for bus service to the principal sections of the city? Or is each individual bus supposed to make a profit? It seems as though the guod paying bus runs. like the beach runs, sho~ld stand the loss if there is a loss, on the poor paying runs.

This offer I confirmed in a letter to Mr. Lee, Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, at whose instance, I under- stood, the inquiry had been made. I then told him my terms were made at a discount on the cost price to me originally but that, for civic welfare and my interest in this as a pioneer, I was Offering the best possible tenus, provided the property was to be used as a public park, but not otherwise. Shortly thereafter, Mr. Frank Carmack called me over the telephone, asking my lowest cash price, but not disclosing hi? principal. Assuming this to be a private individual, I quoted a price of $45,000.00, and this was the price th~t was published.
