is evidenced by the use which has been made of the Service use which is constantly on the increase Since the date of its founding to the end of last August buses have carried 3114264 passengers an average of 111233 per month The line began operation under 10year franchise with six buses One bus has since been added to bring the fleet total to seven The company employs total of 15 drivers and maintenance men and This is good indication not only of the drive and initiative of those men have just named but also that there are many large busi ness organizations as well as in dividual people
