Rhomberg, has called our attention to the petition, filed with your Hon- orable Body on April 23, 1945, by James F. Lee and others, pertaining to bus service on West Locust Street. The petitioners refer to "two-way transportation as provided in the original franchise," evidently refer~ ring to some provision in the fran- chise in effect prior to the franchise under which we are now operating, as our present franchise makes no such provision. You are probably aware of the fact that when street railway service was abandoned in Dubuque and bus service substituted therefore, the Interstate Power Company, with the approval of the City Council made n u mer 0 u s changes in its bus routes to better serve a greater area of the City of Dubuque. One of these changes in~ valved out-bound service "erving the northwest part of the City to be routed over Madison and Seminary Street to a junction with the former route at West Locust and Seminary at the Senior High School. This gave one-way service over Seminary Street, which had not been served by transportation facilities up to that time, and one-way service over Session, June 4th, 1945. met at 7:30 P. M.
