<br />the matter carefully and do not believe that there is s~Tficient excess colored traffic in
<br />tlte Eount Sermon territory to justify a Tegul~v service of these jitneys at present. They
<br />are running irregulmrly as hired cars amd do not seem to be getting any large amount of traffic
<br />from tt~e Eount Hermon District. I therefore adhere to my original reco~endation that t~e
<br />permits for the High St. line grid the Trn~tem line be not granted?
