SIX-CENT FARE MEETS
WITH STATE APPROVAL
Public Service Commission Declares Increase Made by
Lancaster Trolley Company Is Justified
by War Conditions

The Public Service Commission in
an opinion handed down to-day dis
misses the complaint of William b.
Irwin against the Conestoga Trac-
tion Company. of Lancaster, who
charged that the schedule of rates,
effective August 9. 1918. advancing
THE zone fares from to 6 cents was
unjust and unreasonable and also in
violation of certain franchise ordi-
nances" granted the original com
pany. This is the first of the Scent
trolley fare cases to be decided by
the Commission and is taken by law
yers to indicate that the Commission
looks favoraDiy upon the increased
fares, now general throughout the
state, where the financial conditions
of the companies demand more reve-
nues.
The Conestoga company operates
lines in Lancaster. with ten inter-
urban lines extending into surround
ing territory and as far. as Coates
Vile. and the complaint was against
the increase of zone rates from to
cents ana also advances on return
trip and commutation rates. especial
ly between Lancaster and Coates
VILE. With respect to the charge
that the increased fares are in vio-
lation of the provisions of franchise
ordinances, the Commission quotes
it's report in the Wilkinsburg-P Pitts
burgh Railways Company case, in
which it held that "rate-regulating
franchise conditions do not preclude
it from exercising the supervising
powers delegated to it by the provi-
sions of the Public Service Company
| law" and taking the same ground in
! the Lancaster case slismisses the
, complaint.
In dismissing the charge of unfair
rates. the Commission holds that the
company should render the service
due the public and has a right to re-
ceive a fair return permitted on its
property, used and useful" and, aft
er going at length into the financial
condition of the company and the
amount necessary to it's operation and
with a fair return to the stockhold-
ers, declares that the Increased
| fares are not unreasonable" but the
recommendation is made that if in the
future there should be any marked
reduction in operating expenses or in
crease in revenues the company
should readjust it's rates in conform
iity with its obligation to the pub

BLAMES RAID
ON "FRAME-UP'
BY POLITICIANS
Asked For Information Fan
nasy Says He Might
Accuse Many
OFFICER GIVES EVIDENCE
Woman Says Police Raidcd
Place While She Was
Alone

That his house was raided because
of a political "frame-up" was the
opinion 7. +. Fannasy, 107 Wash
ington street, expressed on the wit
ness stand to-day before Judge S. j..
NJ. McCarrell when he testified in
his own defense on charge of con-
Quoting disorderly house. County
and city officers raided the house
June 10, last year, but found only
one person, Jean Martin, at the time.
She was arrested on a charge of
frequenting a disorderly house, and
is on trial with Mr.. Fannasy, who
was arrested later on q warrant.
When Mr.. Fannasy was asked for
more information about the politi-
cal troubles, and for the names of
any persons whom he believed were
responsible, he replied he might
blame fifty or two hundred persons.
He explained, too, that if was for
that same reason that he stayed
away because he did not want to
give those persons the satisfaction
of knowing that he had spent one
minute in jail" He admitted he
went TO Philadelphia June 16 and
did not return until he could fur
nish bail through a surety company,
Police Not Certain
Yesterday when the trial began
City Detectives Shuler, Speese and
Murnane when called as witnesses
said they had no positive informa-
ton that the house in question was
disogderly. Even Chief of Police
Wet2el when asked about the repu-
tatfon. of the place said, We'll, it's
doubtful"
officer Fry, however. said that
when he was on that district he saw
persons going into the house at all
hours of the night until as late
as 2 o'clock in the morning. Taxis
and other automobiles came there
and also stopped at other places
along the street, he said, the per-
sons then going into 107 Washing
ton.
He told of conversation with Mr.
Fannasy which occurred one night
when he was standing across the
street opposite the house. On that
occasion Mr.. Eannasy came over .tc
him, officer Fry asserted, and ask
ed what he was doing there and
what he was watching. During the
conversation the patrolman quoted
Mr.. Fannasy as saying: Every
things on the quiet here and I'm
going to see Chiof Wetzel about
this"
Mr.. Fannasy when on the stanC
this morning. denied he had mad'
such a statement to the officer, eX'
planning he only asked the patrolmaI
why he was standing. there because
his wife was not well and IL mad'
her nervous.

ASSESSMENT OF
HOTEL PROPERTY
NOT TO CHANGE
Closing of Liquor Business
Will Not Diminish Tax
able Property
ASSESSORS STAND PAT
County Officials Take Same
View Expressed by
The City

City and county officials do
not contemplate making any
changes in the valuations OF
properties which at present are
licensed to sell liquor, because
of the federal laws which will
soon make the entire country
dry they said to-day.
City Assessor James C. Thompson
said he does not intend to make any
changes in city valuations or to rec
ommend such action to the Board
OF Revision of Taxes and Appeals.
He explained that in some few in
stances the fact a property was
licensed to sell Intoxicating liquors
might be an inducement to some one
else TO buy it, but with laws pro-
hibiting the sale of any alcoholic
drinks, the use of the place for that
purpose certainly could not enter
into the sale price, and should not
ever now. He explained that the
assessment of ali properties which
are licensed whether only saloons or
hotels. is basAd uLon the actual
Value of the ground and building. in
the particular district in which it is
located, without regard to the pur-
pose for which the structure is used.
All on Same Basis
Other officials said that such an
assessment was proper. and that at
no time should the property which
| is licensed be assessed on a different
basis than other places in the local
court and the furnishing of satisfac-
tory evidence of the reputation of the
new proprietor a license can be
transferred from one property to an
other by legal procedure.
It was admitted that properties
which are licensed may bring
higher rentals, but when the sale OF
liquor is stopped everywhere and
the liquor business ends, these
| structures can be used to even better
advantage for more desirable bust
| ness.
| The county commissioners tool
| the position that the real estate as
SCISSORS in the city and county dis
tricts are supposed to fix their val
| uations of properties at what they
think would be realized, if Il sale
were held. They. too. said they had
| not considered making any changes
when the licensed places closed.
With less than two weeks until
! the last Cay for filing application.
for the renewal of liquor licenses
only two have been entered at the
office of Prothonotary Charles E
| Pass. They are for a hotel at Capi.
| tol and Forster streets, and a liquor
store at 1901-03-05 North Sixth
street.
The dry" order, going into effect
July 1, it is believed is the cause OF
the delay some of the proprietors
/ of the saloons and hotels not having
decided whether they will stay ir
business from March l to July /
or rot. Officials said it IL likely that
a number of present license holder:
in smaller places will not go to the
expense of laying a heavy tax fol
a whole year when in all probability
they may not be permitted TO sci
intoxicants for longer than foul
| months.
