to believe the swap a good one.
The new coaches which have re
placed ‘the street cars-are faster,

ence~ which the street cars could
not furnish. For instance, ir-
Istead of having to dodge passine
automobiles in order to board a
‘coach, as Y,was necessary when the
| street cars were in operation, all
“a prospective passenger has to do
| is wait on the curb and the coack
| will drive alongside.
| The coaches have left off Broad
!st':ect. but ‘travel over two or
three streets which street cars
!left out. The Lumpkin-Boulevard
coach turns at Lumpkin and Mil
ledge and goes up Milledge ave
nue to Milledge Terrace and then
on to Lumpkin again, cuttirg out
from Lumpkin. into West View
