Mayor Jeffries retaliated
hotly with the charge that
price control agency is con-
Quoting a smear campaign.
In a report sent 10 Mayor JEFF
fries from Washington. the OPA
asked for a rate Of four tokens
for 25 cents, or al most 30 cents.
The OPA report, based largely
upon a study made by its utility

mated the total Of the raise would
amount TO S7,500,000 to s15,000,-
600 year.
MORE CHARGES MADE
Other charges:
. Detroit car riders are paying
the highest fares In the country.
, . The increase apparently was
ordered to finance a "nebulous"
expansion program, only a mi

. The increase may injure the
system by driving its riders 10

No competent technical ad-

structure than by raising fares.
by issuance OF equipment notes
which could he financed for

have sailed away millions of dollars
in War Bonds and have continued
purchases of U. S. Savings Bonds.
