New Form of Rudeness

"To the Editor of the "Nonrz-CHINA Darry NEWS"

Sm,—Further evidence of the utter disregard of the public by employees of a public utility company. has appeared in the callous manner the Conductors of buses bar would-be passengers from boarding busses. unless first being assured that sud passengers can tender subsidiary notes for their fares, and, if they cannot (as it was in my case), press the bell twice, leaving me to glare at a smirking grin that rapidly spread over his face, This is no doubt due to the shortage of small change. but surely the adoption of such an extreme measure is wholly unjustified; nor do I think that the executives of the China Omnibus Company are aware that such "happenings" are prevalent, The scornful attitude of almost all Conductors towards passengers is really beyond all understanding, Tt has been bad erióugh in the past. but. if such distasteful occurrences crop up periodically. T, for one. will walk and force myself to like it!
