Moore Mr. Howell recognized visitors present and called for any business from the floor. Mr. H.L. Morris of the Morris Transit bervice requested permission of the Commission to run a larger bus on his route. He advised that he has received a temporary 90 day permit from Jacksonville Beach to pick up passengers there, so he would like to increase his schedule to 12 runs (approximately) a day leaving Atlantic Blvd. and going rorth on Sherry Drive and Seminole Road to 15th St. then south on East Coast Drive to Atlantic Blvd. then reverse the route going back to Mayport. He is at present only making 2 runs a day with the smaller busses as he hasn't been allowed to pick up in Jacksonville Beach. There was a discussion in which Mr. Mervin objected to granting the per- mit due to the .tact that he believes it will only cost the City money using the big bus on the streets and we will get nothing out of it. There was further discussion in which it was brought out that since Jacksonville Beach has issued a temporary permit we could go along with that and at the end of 90 days we will know whether 1.t is satisfactory or not. Therefore upon motion of Mr. Moore, seconded by Mr. Roberts permission was given to issue a 90 day permit to Morris Transit Service beginning December 7th, 1957 to see if his schedule, which is to be posted with the City Manager, will work. The vote was: Ayes Johansen, Moore, Roberts, Howell, Nays Marvin It was brought out in the discussion that license fees on busses and taxicabs are the .came, and it was decided that the entire License Ordinance needs studying.
