The Patriot Press Hyannis, Mass. Dear Editor:— Referring to franchise recently :given to the Almeida Bus Lines of 981 Purchase Street , New Bedford , Mass., would say that I learned in New Bedford about three months ago that Mr. Almeida had said that they would be running busses out of Hyannis and Falmouth to Boston and other points by summer. It is reliably reported that they, some time ago, took over an old franchise of the New Bedford and Monument Beach Railroad with right to operate by way of Fal- mouth to Hyannis coming in by way of South Street and older resi- dents state that car tracks were laid on that street but never used. Holding this probably unreliable franchise they secured hew fran- chises during the past year from all towns from Mlddleboro through Mashpee and recently secured one from town of Barnstable, They will probably secure fran- chises through, the Lower Cape and now have franchises covering New Bedford , Taunton, and other places to Boston. This company is strong finan- cially and their busses are kept clean and are new ones for most part. The bus drivers are not unionized us are those of the New England Tranportation Co. The pay scale Is much lower. There does not appear to be room for two bus lines and for trains and someone will lose out if Almeida is allowed to operate. The New England Company has tried to secure a franchise from the Public Utilities through to Boston and this was opposed by organiza- tions on the Cape as they thought that this would be an entering wedge for the New Haven to take off trains which the New Haven had no intention of doing, Our Selectmen can probably ex- plain why they would allow compe- tition with the New Haven R, R. and the New England T. Co. at a time when the railroad Is making a special endeavor to give good service to the Cape. Very truly yours, W. U. Noel. The key to every man Is his thought. Sturdy and defying though he look, he has a helm which he obeys, which is the idea after which all his facts are classified.— Emerson.
