To the Editor of the "Mobrh-Chixn Dany News"
5b,—As one who is compelled by force of circumstances to use the buses on the No. 9 route, and who has borne with resignation the many deficiencies existing in the local bus service, it was with considerable delight that I hailed the appearance of the two (?) new commodious vehicles which made their appearance within the past fortnight.
Unfortunately, what little pleasure and comfort I might have derived in travelling in one of these super con-voyances (and I have not as yet had that experience) has been entirely nullified by the fact that I reside on Avenue Foch, and consequently have been subjected to the most appalling racket imaginable on the passage to and fro of these vehicles.
I, therefore, appeal through your esteemed columns to the management of the Company to take effective steps whereby this nerve-racking noise may be remedied.
1 do not wish herein to dilate on the innumerable shortcomings of the local bus company, but must emphasize thay with the approach of summer, and the necessity for a greater degree of ventilation, the existing roar from the exhaust threatens to swell into an intolerable clamour, which will tend to cause a total collapse of the already overstrained nerves of those of us who are resident on this bus route.
In closing, I should also like to mention that a little more supervision on the part of the company might result in an improvement in the present filthy conditions of the buses generally. I have observed on reaching a terminus, the buses receive attention from little boys not much bigger than the brooms they wield, who, whilst making a great show of activity, perform their duties in a purely perfunctory manner, leaving the buses in much the same condition as they found them.
