THE EDITORS NOTEBOOK
THE CITY VS.. THE TRANSIT COMPANY

The Miami Transit Company and the city commits
sion are having bus troubles
The transit company, owned by William D. Pawley,
claims the company losing money and wants several
changes in franchise.
The company now pays the city percent franchise
tax amounting to than 100000 year. The comp
any wants this tax discontinued
The company wants to charge five cents for trans
fers They now free.
The company wants to increase the fare of school
children from four cents to ten They also want the
15 cents rate increased to 20 cents.
A fact-fnding committee with Joseph Orr as chair
man. reported that the loss in operations reported by the
bus company is basically ga matter of bookkeeping"
The committee claims Miami Transit amoritzed the
cost OF its buses sevenyear period instead of the
usual tenyear amortization schedule by most major
transit firms
Mayor Aronovitz comments on the companys fig
res which showed loss this year were cit is good boob
keeping for income tax purposes but not for regular pur
poses"
The commissioners have agreed that the transit
company will have to continue paying franchise tax.
They have placed in the 1856 budget revenue from the
franchise estimated at $23O,OOO
The transit company seeks a 2O-year franchise
when the present one expires in October
Pawley suggested that the city purchase the
buses at cost of $500 900 and his company would op-
crate it on seven-year basis He estimates the company
is worth between 100000 and $7,OOO,O0O
The commissioners do not seem to be interested in
purchasing the bus business.
Labor leaders had their say They warned the COM
mssOners that failure of the company to give bus drivers
the promised pay boost would cripping strike
when the present contract expired
The transit company had figured the commissioners
would abolish the franchise and this they would
increase the employees salary
Undoubtedly poor business deal. It's like counting
your chicgens before they are Matched.

Another matter brought up was equal vacations for
White and Negro laborers employed by the city.
Fred Alden, representative of State, County and
Municipal Union (AF claims Negro workers get half the
vacation time that Whites get and only they have
employed for five years or longer
This does not seem to be fair Negroes work as hard
for less pay Of realize that positions must be
graded and salaries paid in accordance but don't see
why vacations for Negro worker should be one half
that OF White workers Neither do if the statement
is correct why the fveyear period does not apply to
everybody If it does not the city commission should
slider the unfairnesS of this matter.

In the latter case a careful
counting of your winners will
usually tell you just how many
trump leads you can afford to
make.
Mr.. Dale led the jack Of dia-
monds against today's four heart
contract. Mrs. Keen overlook
with the queen and led three
more rounds of diamonds. Mr..
Abel ruffed the fourth round
with the nine of hearts. On the
third and fourth diamond leads
Mr.. Dale discarded his two
smallest clubs.
Now Mr.. Abel took a moment
to count up his winners. He saw
that he could take five heart
tricks and the two black aces
and that he would have to ruff
three spades In dummy to make
his bid.
There were four trumps on
the board and only three spades
to be ruffed. Therefore he could
afford the luxury Of just one
trump lead. This would cost
nothing and might conceivably
prevent an overruf by one OF
the opponents.
AT trick five he laid down the
ace of hearts. He then led the
ace of spades, followed with a
small spade and ruffed with
dummy's seven Of hearts. He
cashed the ace of clubs. led q
small club and ruffed with the
six of hearts. When this held
the contract was assured.
All of The remaining trumps in
the closed hand and dummy
were high and spades and clubs
could be ruffed back and forth
for 10 tricks.
AS it happened, there was
never any danger of an overruff
on this hand. However, it is wise
never to feel safe about over
rufus.
Never let the opponents bid
ding give you a false sense Of
security. Their bids may be
phony or they may have crazy
distribution. with seven or eight
card suits, and for some reason
decide not to bid at all.
When you have a cross-ruff
type of hand and you can af-
ford one or more trump leads,
by all means make them. It's
an everything to gain. nothing
