New buses to try to get Millerand elected

The following press release was released yesterday at City Hall:
The Public Transport Commission met under the chairmanship of Mr. Delavenne. It determined the use of available equipment, both regular and light buses, and the 80 buses to be built by the end of the year. It decided to propose to the General Council the immediate implementation of the following lines:

Outside Paris:

Porte de Neuilly-Porte de Saint-Ouen (regular buses);

Mairie de Suresnes-Pont de Neuilly (light buses);

Saint-Denis-Mutualité to Gennevilliers and Grésillons (light buses);

Le Bourget to Noisy-le-Sec (light buses);

Champigny to Couilly (light buses);

L'Hay to Bourg-la-Reine,

Robinson to Malabry (light trains);

Clamart Town Hall to Petit-Clamart (light trains)

Extension of the B.D. bis line (Asnières-Les Halles) to Les Halles de Bois-Colombes, on the one hand, and to the Jardin-des-Plantes, on the other…

In Paris. Commissioning of an A.D. bis line from Châtelet to Porte Dauphine and extension of line Z (Grenelle-Bastille) to Père-Lachaise.

Make no mistake, the decision taken by the Transport Committee, on Mr. Delavenne's proposal, is a decision with purely electoral purposes.
Mr. Georges Delavenne is one of the promoters of Mr. Millerand's candidacy for the Senate. He is one of the former President of the Republic's most active electoral agents and travels daily from town to town trying to rally new supporters.
For a long time, many Seine towns have been demanding new means of transportation, without ever having been able to obtain anything. Today, Mr. Delavenne is showering them with promises, at least, eight days before the Senate election, which will allow him to be received as a benefactor when he presents himself to recommend Millerand's candidacy. After April 5, good reasons will be put forward at the General Council for most of the promises made to go unfulfilled. The malice is truly too transparent for a single senatorial delegate to be fooled.
