GENERAl, REPORTS
Co~nissioner Clark:-
Number of riders in first two days of operation of the experimental bus service in

to the people in the area to utilize the service.
Three-months operation of the total bus system indicate a gross ~Profit of
$7,586.S6(including transit tax revenue), close to what was anticipated. This is not
clear profit but is contributing to capital funds that will be needed to purchase the
busses(now being leased) and replacement of some. {Distributed reports). Expressed
appreciation of extra responsibilities taken on by City Treasurer Shepard in checking
the operation; and also to Mr. Rust, for his competent management of the system.
Commented on the fine parade in Port Orchard on LOYALTY DAY, in which hundreds of
youths participated who are in Bremerton's Park & Rec. Dept. youth programs.
