OPS Permits Restaurants
To Seek Price Increases
BY the Associated Press

The Government has authorized
restaurant operators to apply for
! higher ceiling prices, if their food
or payroll costs have increased
since last February 9.
The Office of Price Stabiliza-
ton said the new ceilings may
be put into effect within 20 days
unless the applications for in
lcreases are rejected by OPS.
OPS cautioned that any new
ceilings must be posted in dollars
and cents at once, in keeping with
the restaurant regulation.
The agency said it originally
had planned to make adjustments
ION an industry wide basis, but it
found that available data on
changes in costs will not permit
such action. Therefore the adj
,justments will be made on an in
dividual basis.
The agency said that the res
taurant order also calls for adj
ljustments to be made If the cost
Of food or labor has decreased.

Officials Disagree al
Fare Rate HEARING

BALTIMORE. Dec. 19.-Rock-
ville's Mayor told Maryland's Pub
lie Service Commission yesterday
he thinks Capital Transit Co. and
its Montgomery Bus Lines could
work up a good business between
Washington and Rockville if hey
would spend some money and offer
good service.
Mayor Daniel r. Weddle's senti-
ments were echoed by Ray E.
Brown and Perome Harris. speak
ing for the Montgomery County
Civic Federation.
The company controller told
, the mall the evidence shows they
are wrong.
Seek Higher Fare.
Their exchanges before the Pub
lie Service Commission were at q
hearing on the Montgomery Bus
Lines application for higher fares
on its operation between Washing
ton and Rockville.
Montgomery wants to charge 10
cents in its first zone beyond the
District line. retaining the present
five-cent fare in the other six
zones on the route to Rockville.
Besides, it wants to eliminate
completely the weekly commute
ton ticket.
Rockville's city government and
the Montgomery County civic Or
carnations complain this would
boost the present $3.50 Rockville
commuter fare to $500 a week.
Loses $4,000 Yearly.
Robert E. Harvey. vice president
and controller of Capital Transit
and controller cat no salary of
the little subsidiary and it's seven
red and green buses. said the
Montgomery line started losing
passengers sharply in 1947. In
1949. it started going into the red.
BY the end of 1851 it had lost
$4,000. Wage increases for OPP
erators-13 cents an hour since
July-and a one-cent Jump in
the District of Columbia gasoline
tax have boosted the rate of loss
to $4,000 a year.
He called the company's f1nan-
cial condition 'precariouS." If
it were not a wholly owned SUBJ
sidiary of Capital Transit, he said,
it would have gone bankrupt long
ago. He had columns of figures
to show an independent operation
would be a lot more expensive.
Termed Branch Line.
Joseph Allen. peoples counsel
to the PSC, interjected the figures
wouldn't look so bad if Montgom-
cry were treated as what he con-
tends it really is-simply branch
line of Capital Transit.
F.. G. Walt. company attorney,
shot back that Montgomery is
legally and actually a distinct and
separate entity.
The commission did not make
any decision Immediately. Until
it does. the present rates remain
in effect.
