<br />61-297 - The following letter fromM_rs. Viola Jones, 522 Virginia Avenue, was read:
<br />
<br /> "I am writing to see if something can not be done toward getting some bus service in

<br />beyond the tunnel construction area, which was served by the old bus company, but we do expect a bus nearby where
<br />in we can report to work. That railroad track from Mt. Vernon Ave. is entirely too far and too dangerous at dark
<br />to walk. And it is too far to walk half the distance of Port Norfolk through Chautauqua Ave. no overtake a bus.
<br /> I have written Mr. Barnes and others have called. I hear that he promises something
<br />in a month. In the meantime we still have to report to work somehow; therefore I am asking your aid in trying to
<br />work out some means of transportation for all and not just a few."
