<br /> pension bf service, effective July 1st, 19~4,~ on the Port Norfol]~-Pinners P6int electric rail-
<br /> way line, north of Hartford St., it ma~v' be necessary to put on additional busses for handling
<br /> white passengers and will certainly b9 necessary to put on busses for handlingCol0red passen-
<br /> gers between Pinners Point and the ferry. If additional white busses are put on they will fol-
<br /> low the present authorized route. It is pro~es~ed to have the colored bUSSes run'from .the

<br /> Branch Road to Chautauqua, ~Chautauqua to Pitchers Point, returning same route~ ~s soon as Lee
<br /> Ave~ is paved, the route will be shifted to Lee Ave,, as this will serve a colored section ~
<br /> now without transportation. As I can not now give definite~ recommendations, I ~m asking that
