 45 Per Cent of Vote Cast
 The vote vas taken yesterday fin a beating rain that greatly increased the work of getting out the vote. AL though 45 per cent of the registered republicans went to the polls, the percentage vas far below what had been expected.
 After the first two hours of voting the returns from wards one and three gave indication of success for the organization forces and their candidate, Weld. Quigleys inability to attract the first ward vote indicat- cd that the heavy poll was being registered in Wcld's behalf, and the rapidly building up third ward vote was also a favorable indication for Weld whose home district 1t is.
 Little Interest In UChalik
 The entrance of Stanley Uchalik | into the contest made the fifth ward an uncertain district. It developed. l However, that he had attracted so small vote as to be a negligible consideration, hardly large enough 1o disturb the standing. This vas the only ward of the six captured by l Quigley.

JOY-RIDING AIR
TAXIS' PROVE TO
Be BIG SUCCESS
Regular European Lines Rely
on This Type of
Business.

BIZ United Press
LONDON, oct 8,-European air
experience has now definitely es-
tablished that there is money-and
plenty of tin running an air
taxi" service for Joy riders" and
business men, but no money what
ever in maintaining regular air lines
running on definite schedules.
Every one of the air lines in
Europe is subsidized in one way or
another
But the independent companies
who hire out light and inexpensive
airplanes to business men and those
seeking a thrill, get no subsidies and
need none. They get the cream of
modern civil aviation.
Two years ago European subsidies
were based on mileage pure and
simple. If a company maintained to
the best Of it's ability an "all
weather" schedule between definite
points, it was given a subsidy based
on the mileage covered; if that mile
age fell below stipulated minimum

But that has all been changed.
order to encourage the construction
and adoption of heavier and better
engined and safe machines, base
their subsidies on something safer
than mileage. They now multiply
the horsepower of the airplane by
the number of miles it has flown
the product they call machine
mileage" and in their contracts they
stipulate that the company must
have covered a good stiff total of
machine miles before it gets its
subsidy. This naturally stimulates
the companies to use planes Of the
greatest possible horsepower.
In Great Britain the Imperial Air
ways Ltd.-the only company en-
ioying a government subsidy-main-
tains a service which has been
humorously described as "for Ameri-
cans only" since Americans are by
far the heaviest patrons.
1t maintains a weekly service to
the Channel Islands, a daily aerv.
ice to Amsterdam, another daily
service to Paris - Basle-Zurich
a twice-daily service to Paris,
another twice-daily service to
Ostend and still another twice-daily
service to Brussels-C Cologne. Those
are five different services. Last year
they carried $4,000 passengers on

The conference decided to con
