to ride the bus over the long route before reaching school, making them late for certain pre-
school meetings, also that the school children have to change buses down town to reach some of
the schools. A petition, bearing 212 names, was presented to the City Commission in regard to

"We the undersigned residents of the City of Lubbock want to west of you not to let
the City Bus Company discontinue service in our sedtion of town (being the bus route
from 4th Street South on Avenue E to Eighth and then back North to 4th Street on Avenue C)
The proposed discontinuance will work an undue hardship on several school children who
regularly ride the bus to school and back and on several working people who ride the bus
to work and back. We request the bus service to continue as it is at present."
After considering all facts presented in regard to bus service in the above ment:.oned area, it
was unanimously agreed by the City Commission to tequest the bus company to restore bus service
to the area.

flood waters that might cause damage within the City Limits by such natural water basins being
filled in. After this discussion, motion was made by Commissioner Hufstedler, seconded �y Com-

with the consequences to be suffered in the City of Lubbock caused from such fill-ins, and make
report of their findings back to the City Commission.
