<br />Portsmouth Transit Company,

<br />
<br />Gentlemen:
<br />
<br /> At our meeting held on February Vth, many of the delegate
<br />members p~esent voiced their complaint against the service of some o~
<br />the buses.
<br /> I ~as instructed to w~ite you, especially citing the hard-
<br />~hip of goNernmen~ riders in not munning buses direct to and from the
<br />Navy lard zn mornmngs and afte.~noons. Port Norfolk, Pmentis Park and
<br />Park View were mentioned. Cradock buses were ~eported on much slower
<br />schedules resulting in long waiBs. Also the fact that d~a~ing the present
<br />severe weather, many buses are very cold.
<br /> ~e t_~ast that you c~u and v~ll restore the service as fo~erly
<br />as regards the above.
<br /> i~ith best wishes, we are,
<br /> YoUrs very truly,
<br />
<br />Por~mouth Centr~ Labom Union
<br />
<br /> Glenn T. Frey, Secretary."
