<br />giving the maximum number of passengers allowed in the car. This can be based on the total num-
<br />ber of seatsplus one passenger for every two square feet of aisle space.
<br /> ~ ~tho The number o£ white and negro passengers ~llowed__on saf~my cars on ~he different
<br />routes in the .City. I doubt the advisability of a limitation of this kind. As an example,
<br />take a car coming from Truxton passing the bmSb~ll park which was limited to ten white passeng-
<br />ers and thirty colored passengers, and st~ppose that the colored portion of it were not filled
<br />up; it would be extremely difficult to prevent white passengers using~ the space assigned to
<br />colored passengers or vice-versa. This would also be the case in wet whemther where either
<br />white or colored passengers might be kept waiting although there was v~c~nt space in a oar
<br />passing them. Moreover, I believe that theLState law governs this ease, which requires simply
<br />that separate space be set aside for the ~wo~.raoes and gives conductors power to ~a~y this
<br />space. I therefore do not recommend this feature.
<br /> 5th. That the vio~$ion of one provision of this franchise will make ~ull a~ void the
<br />whole franchise. This s~ms to me m very sev~r'~ p:o~i~ksion a~ it might prevent any%-lds-~ng
<br />received on thefranohise. The bond of $10,000 would'amply p.otect the Oity and it is moreover
<br />possible for the 0ity at auy time to pass ordinances imposing penaltiee on any transportation
<br />company for various derelictions of duty or violations of franchise provisions, such as failure
<br />to mmintain schedules, rs/lure to keep equipment in proper oon~ition of repair or clemnliness,
<br />etc. I therefore recommend adversely on this proposition.
<br /> 6th. The question of more frequent schedule on the City Park line. This is ~overed
<br /> generally by the provision---~Iring the Company to give adequate, convenient and depend~ble~
<br /> transportation servide at alt times, but in order to insure service fo~ this particttlar line,
<br /> I would suggest that the followir~ be added to Art. ~, Sec. 2-Hr "During the spring, summer
<br /> and early autu~n, on the request of the City Nanager, more frequent service to the City Park
<br /> ished on holid~ s and on Saturday and Sund~y afternoons~ so as to give a thoroughly
<br />will be furn y ~
<br /> adequate, convenient and dependable transportation service to the patrons of the City Park.
<br /> "Yours truly,
<br /> ,J~ P~ JER~I~EY, City Man, ger."
