Improved Service

Fronchise Renewol
Hearings Brin6
Many Complaints
Improved service on the Bee
Inc., and the Dello bus
routes was promised by represen-tatives
of both companies Friday
night at the Village Board meet-ing
when hearings were held on
the renewal of the franchises of
both concerns. •
The .most serious complaints
concerned the east-bound Service
on the Bee Line during the morn-ing
hours when the westbound
traffic is at its height. Charles H.
Civic Association" saltr he frequent-ly
had waited at Stokes or Park
ave., 10 minutes to an hour and
13 minutes lor a bus to take him
to the railroad station. He placed
the blame for this on the practice
of the company in sending buses
from the Rockvllle Centre garage
to the Freeport terminal through
Sunrise highway Instead of Me:-
rick rd.
Mr. Smith also proposed ' that
the Bee Line Issue timetables spec-ifying
when buses were due at
MUburn ave., Baldwin, and Long
Beach avej so patrons^ could esti-oe
due

situation 'that • prevaileST in the
morning was reversed at night
when the buses were returned to
Rockville Centre through Sunrise
Highway.
James P. Conway, attorney for
the Bee Line, in asking for a re-newal
of the present franchise^
which expires Feb. 28, concede*
the complaints of Mr. Smith an*
Mr, Cheasty were justified. Be
suggested busea returning to the
garaga at night be marked "Rock"
ville Centre only." H» also agreed
it would be wise to have timetables
placed in buses to be taken by
passengers. Mr. Conway attributed
yn*vt.«t, the trouble to the man-power
situation, said ten new bus-es
would be delivered soon, with
others. _due later, and pledged
"real assurance" many thing*
would be improved as the atrike
just.coiicluded had clarified a con
tIltRW"Whlo%i had existed for some-time.

The present franchise called
for the operation of not more than

"During the year, as throughout
the entire period of the war, we
lave continued to place major
emphasis on business identified
with the war effort which culmln*
ated in Victory. The bank's partic*
ipation in the War Loan Drives
of 1945 resulted in the sale of
$1,950,73125 of bonds to its cus-tomers
and the purchase of Gov"
emment Securities for its dwn ao-count
of $950,000.
"Highlights of the Bank's record
for the year were:
"Resources a"t the year-end show-ed
an Increase of more than 28 ^
per cent over the close of the
previous year, having increases
$2,725,008.62 from a total of $9,574,"

ihcreased $2,685,l68.737"^Th6'
