TO THE HOT?ORAELE CITY COM1,:ISSION AND MAYOR OF THE CITY OF LUEBOCK, TEXAS: Now comes R. E. L. Farmer and Ray Farmer, partners doing business under the firm name of Lubbock Bus Company, assignees and owners of the original franchise heretofore granted to W. A. Izard by city Ordinance Ivo. 354, and under the powers vested in the city under Ordinance No. 313, said applicants being the legal owners of such original franchise above referred to, and make this their application for the addition of certain new streets to said franchise rights and a change of their present routes and schedules as provided for in said franchise ordinance in caring for the necessary needs of the traveling public, and for cause of such application they would respectfully show to your Honorable Cony: -:fission: 1. That a necessity now exists for the proposed bus service applied for herein, in order to meet the needs of the citizens of the city of Lubbock and in order to serve the parts of the city now unserved. 11. That there is now a large portion of the city of Lubbock that is without bus service, as shown by the routes out- lined in the proposed resolution and plat attached hereto and made a part hereof and here referred to. That because of the increase in population in the city of Lubbock and the increase in the student body of Texas Tech- nological College and a great increase in the volume of general business in the city of Lubbock, a public necessity* exists for the extension of adequate bus line service as applied for heroin. IV. That your applicants herein have faithfully operated a city bus service within the city of Lubbock for the past two years, in a first class, safe, adequate and efficient manner, meeting the needs of the public during said time as provided for under Fr--_nchise Ordinance Zo. 354, which franchise is owned and has been operated by your applicants. V. That your applicants have complied with the teres and conditions of said franchise and the regulations provided by law for the operation of street busses within the city of Lubbock during this period of two years; that such applicants are now carrying and have carried public liability insurance made in favor of any person who mi"ht or ma.y suffer damages through negligent operation of said bus service, as required by the ordinance and by the city of Lubbock, and that all taxes, including their franchise tax, have been paid, and that during said time your applicants have expended the returns from such operations in giving a more adequate service to the public. VI. amour applicants show that by reason of the facts set out above, they are in a position to give a better service to the public and a more extended service to the general public than heretofore, and if this extension is granted, your applicants will give a more adequate and a more extended service by reason of the public necessity now existing. VII. Your applicants show that under the existing franchise right, they are unable to adequately serve other portions of the city of Lubbock without the permission of the city by resolu- tion of the City Commission permitting them to extend their lines and giving them the right of operation under such extension, by the addition of certain new streets to said franchise, as pro- vided under Ordinance No. 354. VIII Your applicants show that with the granting of such rights and privileges of extension and the permitting of these applicants to add new streets to such bus line service now in existence, in order to better serve the public and to meet the general public's demands for such service, it will be necessary to change the present boutes and schedules as shown by the routes outlined in the proposed schedules and plats attached hereto marked as exhibits and here referred to and made a part hereof. Your applicants further show that if such extension as applied for herein is granted by the City Commission of the city of Lubbock, such applicants arefinancially able to procure and will procure additional equipment and facilities to operate said extended service in a first class, safe, adequate and efficient manner, as the public necessity arises, and such extension so permitted by the City will enable these applicants to give a better and more adequate service on the lines now permitted to be operated. WHEREFORE, applicants pray the Cormnission that it pass a resolution providing for the addition of streets and changes of schedules and routes as set out in the order attached hereto and here referred to; or, in the alternative, that such permission be granted as the Commission may, after a hearing, deem best and proper in meeting the public needs of the citizens of the city of Lubbock.
