burned the midnight oil in ar
analysis Of the estimated addi-
tional costs last night. and is
expected to give the city heads
some figures today.
One big factor in the Capita
Transit Co.'S decision about q
straight contract with the union
or an additional pact with the
city apparently is whether the
company wants to seek profit
return during the next years
operation.
Under a straight contract with
the union, officials explained
the Public Utilities Commission
would be obligated by law tc
consider a fair return to the
company in setting new fan
rates.
Authorizes Separate Pact
The new law signed by Presi-
dent Eisenhower this week
wiping out the company fran
chise after a year. authorized
the city to enter a separate con-
tract with the firm, calling for
taxpayers to pick up any oper-
ating deficit resulting from
higher labor costs.
Whether the company also
would seek a profit under such
a city pact was uncertain. Of
flcials pointed out. however, tina,
the law does not prohibit such
profit and fare raises to cover
lit.
The Public Utilities Commits
sion will reopen hearings Mon
day on a pending Transit fare
boost request. Submitted before
the strike began. the request calls
for a Scent increase in tokens
to 10 cents, no change in the
20-cent fare and elimination OF
the weekly permit. This was
estimated to bring in an addi-
tional $2.1 million a year.
In addition, however, the Pub
lie Utilities Commission Is COM
United to make a fast decision
on interim" fare increases which
simply would cover additional
labor costs.
Such interim" fares could
apply until action is completed
on the long-range fare increase
application, and presumably
could be ordered into effect re-
gardless Of whether the company
inferred a pact with the city OF
decided on an ordinary labor
contract with the union.
Early yesterday, hopes were
high that problems could be
wiped away in time to permit a
resumption of streetcars and bus
service by Monday. With activity
under way on every front
throughout the week end, an
early end to the strike Is still
possible, but the Commissioners
were making no predictions after
yesterdays midnight session.

understood. would rather worl

Under such circumstances, "
commented Rep. B. A. Brough-
ton, lit is normal that tn
major emphasis on legislative
activities moves from commit
tee rooms to the floors of the
two branches of the General
Assembly, This is particularly
true of controversial measures.
Differences which have not
been ironed out in extended
committee hearings are carri-
ed to the floor for debate and
action.
Among the bills which have
been acted on recently by the
House are several that are ra-
ther important or of quite gen.
eral interest. These include: eS-
tablishing a permanent commit
tee to keep a running check
on the disposition of funds ap-
propriated for additions a n d
improvements to state owned
property, making periodic re-
ports to the legislature on how
the money is being used; pas
sage by both Houses of an act
to eliminate the requirement
that applications for divers Ii
cenSes and for license plates
have to be notarized; another
bill, passed by both Houses,
hits hard at the traffic in mar
coticS and the drug evil gen.
orally by extending the provi-
sions of the present law and
very substantially stiffening the
penalties to make them equal
to or more severe than those
of our surrounding states; an
other bill would exempt church
eS, fraternal and veteran or
ganizationS serving occasional
meals from the requirement OF
obtaining a food service license
a bill to increase the sliding
scale compensation Of township
trustees; a bill to extend the
protection of the workmen'S

Woody, Mt. Sterling residents who
watched the robbers, and had guns
trained on them, but failed to

Loot obtained by the men in
cluded cigars cigarettes, canned
goods, and the firms cash regis
ter containing a little over eight
dollars, the sheriff said.

Increase OF IS
Students Over 81

A record enrolment of a total
of 1900 pupils in the London Pub
lie Schools for the first week of
the 1855 school year has been
announced by Supt. j. j. Hartley.
An increase of 43 students over
last year mas been recorded. The
increased enrolment has resulted
from new students entering all
the grades rather than any Speci-
fic grade level. This years kim
dergarten classes are smaller than
the two previous years. The first
grade registration is fifteen pupils
less than last years enrolment,
but ten pupils ahead of the 1853
enrolment. The third grade has
the largest increase of pupils over
last years enrolment. There are
127 pupils this year compared to
112 in 1854; and the senior class
this year surpasses last years
class by % students. However, the
large senior class was expected
because of a large junior class of
1854; but a loss of 13 students in
the 10th grade resulted when
these students moved out of the
school district or secured employ
ment
The total enrolment of 1900 in
cludes the following grade levels
and number of pupils in each
grade: Kindergarten SO; grades
one thru eight a total of 832; and
in high school 375.
Last year the total enrolment
was 1857 which included kinder
garten 103; grades one thru
eight, 804; and high school, $50.
This enrolment established rec
ord for the London Public Schools
as it exceeded the 1889 peak enroll
mcnt by 25. Now this years en-
rollment has bettered the record of
last year by 43 pupils.
With the construction of three
classroom building, the hiring of
additional teachers and the even
distribution of enrollees, the rec
ord enrolment was taken care of
by the Board of Education with
cCt difficulty.
