COMPLETE
SURVEY IN
GRADY co.
Work Shows Schools Of County in Good
Condition; Consolidation Plan Well
Started by Officials

That Grady county is among the
leading counties of the state in ed
/ ucational lines is evident from the
report that has just been made by
E A. Duke, state rural school super.
visitor, who together with County
| superintendent Shepard has been
making a survey of the schools OF
th's county Tha survey is made for
| the purpose of completing plans for
the consolidation of various districts
making special arrangements SO that
when consolidated districts are form
ed, they will be laid out in such a
manner that the poorer districts will
not be left to themselves.
The work for the past three weeks
has been carried on in Alfalfa and
Washington counties with Grady
county as the last to be taken up.
While the consolidation work is the
principal consideration that is guild
ing the workers, the material or data
which they are gathering covers the
entire school situation in the various
districts. This data which Is DeIng
collected will be used in determining
which districts should be consolidat-
ed so that none viii be left in such
a condition that they can not read
lily consolidate should they desire tc
do so.
OF the three counties which have
teen under consideration in the sur
yey Mr.. Duke said that he had found
Grady county in better condition
than any other, relative to the con-
sOlidation work that is being carried
on "Here in Grady county you have
a county superintendent who has
Lad some experience in this consoli.
dation work and he has been able to
take the initiative in this work so
that we have not had to visit all of
the schools in this county but are
able to find the data in the o1tice
which has been collected by the
county superintendent" said Mr.
Duke
"More consolidation work has been
carried on in this county than either
of the others that have been visited
recently. In both of these other
counties we did not find over three
rural schools in the county that had
more than one teacher. Here in this
county you have 80 schools in the
rural districts that have two or more
teachers and extensive plans are un-
der consideration for the consolida-
tlcn of several districts"

Local Transportation Company Appeals 10
Corporation Commission for Boost
to Six Cent Fare
DECLARES PRESENT
RATE NOT ENOUGH
Company Saws Earnings Do NOI Meet
Cost Of Maintenance; School Chill
drens' Price Three Gents

A petition has been filed with the
corporation commission by the Chick
asha Street Railway company stat.
ing that the present rates of fare
charged by the company are not suf-
ficient to meet the cost of operation
and maintenance, and asking that
they be allowed to raise the rates
of fare from five cents to six cents
as the regular unit, and fare of
three cents for all school children
Under Is years of age.
1t is claimed that the company
here hs not been paying dividends
for some time, due to the increased
cost OF production Of power and of
maintenance and the petition asking
for a raise in the fare rate is not
surprising to city officials.
Heretofore, the rate had been five
cents, for the unit fare and three
cents for school children under Is
years Of age When officials of the
company were asked about the mat
ter this morning they stated they
had nothing further to say about the
matter, more than that which is
stated tosa the corporation commits
sion.
City officials here were notified
this morning by the corporation COM
mission that the hearing for the in.
crease in rates had been set for 10
o'clock on the morning of March IA,
and notifies all who are concerned in
the matter to appear before the com
missioner at Oklahoma City at the
time specified to present their side
Of the question.
Mayor Coffman did not say this
morning whether he was in favor OF
the raise. He said, 1T is the com
pany's own fault that they have not
heen able to make running expense
for some time. The people OF Chick
asha had to pay the company about
100000 to build their railway and az
though this money is their property, |
lne railway company has not given
q service here they should have
en-. If they had invested little
money in helping to build a park
here where the people could go,they |
might be able to realize something |
from their investments. 1t is the
cirv'S business to keep these rates
as low as possible and this we are
going to de-
the petition as presented to the /
corpoi alton commission follows:
'The Chickasha Street Railway
company, a corporation chartered |
and existing under the laws of the
state of Oklahoma, respectfully rep.
resents that the present rates of fare
on its railway are insufficient to
meet the cost of operation, mainte |
nance, taxes and interests on the in |
vested capital, and therefore re.
quests the authority of your board !
to make the regular unit fare six
cents and the fare for children un.
