Waiting for a Compromise. The bus companies have made representations to the Bureau of Public Utility to effect some nudi- fication to the new regulations but the Municipal Bureau has pre served an unyielding aude The bus companies declare that three months was far too short a period in which to effect the change required, that an enormous amount of capital was necessary to buy the now truses, and that the old buses could Bol be dis- posed of readily and would be practically a dead loss to them.

The cheapest type of the modern bus that is required custs about $4,000, while there are bettor vehicles at higher prices.

گر

The stand that the bus tom- panies intend to adopt is that all their vehicles will be taken of the run as from the 20th inst. and will be kept off the roads until some compromise can be arrived at with the Municipal authorities.
