Jitney ordinance second reading amid amendments
City council last night reviewed a second reading of the jitney ordinance with two clause amendments. Aldermen challenged the action of June 14, reconsidering it to avoid final passage, and debated license fees and bond requirements. The two-thirds vote to reconsider failed, and the council proceeded to readings while stipulating new limits on stop times within a river to Twelfth street and Broadway to Maine streets district.
