PSC
Weighs Hearing
On Fare Boost !
Decision Next Week
In 10-Cent Request
For First-Zone Ride
By Chorles A. McAleer

The Maryland Public Service
Commission will decide next week
on whether to hold public hear
Iings on the Capital Transit Co. s
petition for a Scent first zone''
fare increase in Maryland.
Commission Chairman John H.
HeSsey said it was unlikely any
announcement would be made be-
fore Wednesday,.
The transit company filed a Pc
ltition with the Public Service
Commission in Baltimore yester-
day /. The company asked that
first zone fares be increased from
z cents to 10 cents. effective Au-
lgust II. .
The petition said fares for other
zones would remain at z cents.
The company described the first
zone as the first one in which "a
passenger boards a streetcar Of
bus. M
About $4,000 Affected. .
A company spokesman said the
flare increase would affect about
$4,000 riders in nearby Montgom-
Iery and Prince Georges Counties,
lHe said the firm now operates II
basic buslineS, eight ruSh-hou
lines, five express routes and two
Istreetcar lines in the two-county
AREA. ~ss
Reached at his summer home in
Ocean City, Md, Mr.. Hessey said
there are two factors to be con-
|sidered before deciding on a pub
lie hearing. He said PSC auditors
would have to investigate tht
|company's claim and financial
status. The commission also
would have to find out II there
ARE any protests.
The next full commission meet
ing will be held Wednesday morn
ing in Baltimore. Mr.. Hessey said
The transit company's re-
'quested increase automatically
would become effective August II
unless the commission acts before
that time. Mr.. Hessey said. Il
there are sufficient protests tc
warrant hearing, he added, the
commission could order a suspen-
sion of the effective date until
la hearing Is held.
CTC Warns Of Delay.
The transit company's petition
however, asserts any delay in the
effective date Of the increase
would be detrimental to the
|company's financial stability and
|credit and would impair its ability
to render adequate service to the
|public."
The increase on the initial zone
lis necessary, the petition declares
to help meet increased operating
expenses, taxes and depreciation
in the company's Maryland intra-
State operations.
The 7-cent zone fare has been
in effect since February 20. 1850,
Previously. the fare for each zone
had been S cents.
The company contended it now
lis operating its Maryland lines
with an annual operating loss OF
approximately 100000. It placed
the blame on two wage increases
for employees, one in July, 1851,
and the other last July /.
Chairman Hessey said he had
not yet seen the petition. It was
filed at 2 pm. yesterday, shortly
before the commission Offices
CLOSED for the week end.

II Arlington voters decide next
November that the county should
become a city. there will be few
immediate changes, but the even
tual effect of a vote may be far
reaching. "
A petition asking a referendum
on the issue in the November gen.
eral election is now before
Circuit Court Judge William D.
Medley. If the petition is in
order, he will set the referendum
on the main question and allied
issues.
If incorporation is voted, it will
become effective January 2, 1858.
Members of the County Board
would become members of the city
council and would elect a chair
man to be official head of the
city government.
Would Add to Council.
In the city charter approved by
the General Assembly in 1916,
election of councilmen is set for
the second Tuesday in June in the
first year of Incorporation. They
would be elected at large for four
year terms. The November ref
erendum would determine whether
the council would have five or
seven. There now are five County
Board members.
Council members would receive
81, 200 a year-$600 less than they
receive at present. They could
change this amount by ordinance,
after a public hearing. --- %.
All other office holders would
continue in their posts. The Office
of commemorative attorney. how
ever, would be divided between the
commemorative attorney and a
city attorney, to be appointed by
the city manager with the advice
and consent of the city council.
The city attorney would be
named for an indefinite term and
would represent the city in all
legal proceedings.
Power on City Manager.
The council would have the
|power to fill and vacate the office
of city manager by a vote of a
majority of all members. The
manager shall be the person hold
ing the position at the time of
incorporation.
If Arlington becomes a city, 1t
will constitute the Thirty fifth
Judicial Circuit of Virginia. The
city would have a Corporation
Court, IA addition to its Circuit
Court.
Municipal Court would be sue
lcessor to County Court.
In the November referendum
voters will also be asked whether
they wish the school board to be
elected by the qualified voters, as
at present, or appointed by the
council.
If election by the people is cho-
sen, the. board would be chosen
at the same time as the council
the second Tuesday in June. II
appointment by the council is Sc
llected, the council will appoint
1.-THE i've board members in July
1883. and during July each foul
years thereafter.
Any One Could Be Candidate.
i Incorporation would give any
|qualifled voter the right to be.

tive public Office. Circuit Judg'

Upper Montgomery
Subdivision Draft 10
Go 10 County Council

"A proposed dra1t OF SUBDIVISION
regulations for Upper Mont
gomery County probably will 60
to the county council next week,
the Upper Montgomery County
Planning Commission announced
yesterday.
The commission unanimously
adopted the proposed draft
Wednesday night after two years
of study by the commission, it's
staff, and its Citizens Advisory
Committee.
The adopted draft eases the
Originally proposed regulations
which were the subject of a
stormy public hearing at Rock
vile last November. The commits
sion will recommend that the
council enact the regulations into
law.
The unanimous vote followed a
move by Commissioner Marshall
Davis of Germantown. to delete
from the regulation the require
ment that subdividers post bond
to guarantee certain improve
mentS in their subdivision.
-..~ Defeated, 3-2.
Commissioner Kenneth Wind
ham, of Woodfield. supported the
motion, but it was defeated by a
3-to-2 vote.
Chairman Thomas c. Kelley, of
IDarnestown, and Commissioners
Lathrop E. Smith, of Travilah, and
Frederick Gutheim, of Dickerson,
Joined in defeating the relaxation
Of the bond requirement.
The controversial proposed draft
Of last November has been cut
from IS to 16 pages. The draft is
divided into two parts-the regula-
tions and the specifications and
procedures. The regulations must
be enacted by the county council
before they become effective. They
contain the authority for the COM
mission to adopt the specifica-
tions and procedures.
Features Of Proposal.
Under the proposed draft. a
property owner without going to
the commission can lay out and
sell a 1-acre plot a year along
a road and any number of lots
which are 10 acres or larger in
lsize. Exchanges of parcels of land
between neighbors and divisions
of land made by court order also
are permitted without reference
to the commission.
The adopted draft no longer
makes mandatory the submission
by a subdivider Of Typographical
data pertaining to a site. Such
data, however, may be required
where the characteristics of the
land make it appear necessary
All sections of the original draft
pertaining to mandatory reserva-
ton for school sites, Fairgrounds,
etc., have been deleted. Physical
improvements required of the
Subdivider have been substantially
reduced, and in most of the upper
county subdivisions the only i'm
provement required is the installa-
ton of roads in accordance with
the county road code.
Minimum Lot Areas Cut.
The commission also has re-
duced its minimum lot areas from
40, 900 square feet to 10000 square
| feet where neither public water
nor public sewage systems are
available and from 10000 to TO-
900 square feet where they are
available.
The draft being sent to the
council also omits all fees and
requirements for the posting of
land and possible public hearings.
The time for approval by the
commission of preliminary sub
division plans has been decreased
from As to 80 days.
The adopted draft is substan-
TALLY the same as that released
by the commission for public con-
sideration last May 20, accord
ing to Patrick j. Cusick, jr., plan
ming engineer for the commission.
