The agent says the very sight Of =
warty potato is almost enough to
make a grown man sick.
Potato wart causes very serious
losses in England, Ireland and other
parts of Europe. The disease is
spread by using diseased potatoes for
seed, although there are other ways,
as we'll.
The agent said:
Zone of the most dangerous diseas2
of Irish potatoes has been discovers
in the United States. Rough, spongy
outgrowths of varying size are pro-
duced on the tubers, especially at the
eyes. These warts are light brown at
first, but become black and decayed
with age. Sometimes all potatoes
in affected hills are worthless. The
disease does not attack the vines
above ground"

Increase in Taxi Charges
Effective Jan. I Ordered
By Utilities Commission

Permission to increase taxi rates

Taxicab Company by the District
Public Utilities Commission yester-
day. The company's petition for res
toration of its pre-war rates was ap-
proved in order that a ger cent re-
turn on investment migth be realized.
the commissions order said.
The increased rates will not mean a
greater charge per passenger for the
first mile. which is so cents. but pas
sengers will pay 10 cents more per
mile for distances in excess OF one
mile.
The pre-war meter charges again
to go into effect are 30 cents for the
FIRST half mile or fraction thereof and
10 cents additional for each quarter
mile thereafter. Twenty cents is
added per trip for each second and
third passenger. Additional passen-
gers may ride without further extra
charge.
Present rates are 30 cents for the
first third of a mile and 10 cents for
each additional third OF mile,
amounting TO 50 cents for the first
mile and 50 cents for additional miles.
The Terminal Company formally
petitioned the Utilities Commission
for authority to restore pre-war
rates. voluntarily reduced April /.

responding period last year

or per cent. on the book value OF
the company's property. The in-
crease was granted on this ground.
the Commissioners explained.
The order issued yesterday provided
that no changes be made in any other
charges ard rates of the company
which now are in effect. The order
will be in force until June 20. 1Sas
