3-Cent Fare Applies
To All Students Under
1S, Commission Rules
CoIIeeions Within Age
Limit Are Entitled to
Reduction, Honkin Says

Y The scent transit fare for
school children" applies to stu
dents suBder 18 years of age, at
tending the WILSON, Teacher Col
lege or any other accepted school" E"
the Public Utilities Commission an
nounced yesterday. The commits
SIGN, in adopting the rule, acted on
an opinion written by Chairman
Gregory Hankin.
The action was taken on a pc
tition by Mrs. Ira P. Miller, mother
Of a Wilson Teacher College stu
dent, and request by DR.. Frank
w. Ballou, superintendent of schools,
for a determination of the question.
The Hankin ruling overrides
opinions given by Corporation
Counsel Richmond B. Keech, who
is also general counsel to the
Utilities Commission. and argu-
ments presented by the Capital
Transit Co. Mr.. Keech has main
tanned that students of Wilson
Teacher College are not children"
within the meaning of the joint
resolution adopted by Congress per-
mitting merger of the old streetcar
and bus companies, in accord with
their previous agreement.
Mr.. Hankin ruled. however, that
there was ambiguity in the wording
of this joint resolution and that the
guiding question was not what Con-
gress intended in words used in the
joint resolution. but what the COM
pany intended by the words used in
the streetcar unification agreement.
Before September, 1899, the
transit company furnished blanks
to the teacher college for purchase
of Scent fare tickets. Thereafter,
while it no longer furnished the
blanks, the college continued to issue
applications to eligible students,
until November, 1941, when the
company asked that the practice be
stopped.

Hadeler said grocers throughout

wave of food-buying. The cards,
issued by grocers, provide six items
which he cali ration to the consumer
on a voluntary basis
1t is the only solution as far as
can see Hadeler said. More
than 65 per cent of the stores in
San Francisco are using voluntary

He said efforts to stop the buying
