Bus Service for AC Plant May Be Pushed
Mayor Ralph Tucker said he will present the matter to the Indiana Public Service Commission on Tuesday to discuss bus service to the Allis-Chalmers North Thirteenth street plant. AC works manager Bernard Colman said Terre Haute City Lines offers service only with a monthly guaranteed payment. the local bus company now serves within two miles of the plant which employs 800 workers on two shifts and aims for 2,500 to 3,000. A company survey began Friday to gauge potential ridership. bus use could cut defense plant absenteeism and tardiness. The bus route turns off at Elizabeth avenue near Lost Creek bridge. the Clinton line runs through North Terre Haute, about 1½ miles away. Taxi fare from downtown is $1.50. Incomplete returns from the AC poll indicated more details on page 13.
