General Manager H. F. Dicks of the Utah Light and Traction company is considering the opening of a venture that will prevent this loss and yet give service to residents in title legs congested' districts on the outskirts v of Halt Lake. The Idea is to establish motor bus service to fonnect with street cars at Thirty-Thir- d street and Hyland Drive to accommodate residents of the Mill Creek district. The plan la ons that has- - been followed with success In several eastern centers the buses acting aa "feeder" lines for the railways. The needs of the Mill Creek district for such transportation . accommodations have become very evident and the plan mentioned la the one thought moot possible by the Traction manager. The company Is not able tar construct a trolley line to the district at present, according to Mr. Dlcke, and he declares he will suggest the bus plan at the next meeting-o- f the companys directors. - Tha company realizes Its obligation to provide transportation in any community where it is evident that a lack of transportation is hampering the growth of that community. Such transportation must also precede that thua growth, bcing operated at a loss for a time. Altogether the bus plan seems rather practical.
