The Public Service Commission refused to grant certificates for jitneys to operate under 21. Cases from Mifflin and Juniata counties set the rule for future applications. Applicants had bought cars to start jitney lines but were denied. The commission approved Cumberland Valley Railroad’s stock acquisition of the Southern Pennsylvania Railroad and Mining Company. It also directed Mansfield Water Company to amend tariffs to a flat rate for Mansfield State Normal School. State institutes closed for Christmas with 13,000-plus in Lancaster, and new year sessions planned in five counties.
