mentary building will then be con-
verted into a junior high school.
However, Supt. Sims emphasized
that until both West and East ele-
mentary buildings are completed,
elementary classes for children
living in the East and Central sec
tionS of Port Clinton will be main
tanned in the present elementary
school.
The bond issue will be paid off
over period of % years at an
average cost to the taxpayer Of
about $3.50 per 81 900 of tax valua-
ton. Although this may be some
what higher for the first year, the
cost to the average taxpayer will
be only about sc per day. With
continued growth of the COM
munity and subsequent increase in
the tax duplicate, there is the pos
sibility that this rate may be re-
duced.
Port Clinton's present school tax
rate of 1874 mills is lower than
most Ohio cities of similar size. In
fact, 124 of Ohio's 1876 cities have
a higher school tax rate than Port
Clinton, Supt. Sims said.
There are some who are still
urging that a new high school
building be built at this time in
stead of an elementary building,
Supt. Sims said this week. Members
of the Board of Education first con
sidered this possibility, he explain
ed, but later number of plans had
been drawn and estimtes secured,
it was apparent that any adequate
high school building would cost
nearly $400,00O more than is avail
able through taxation at this time
Present plan of the Board, which
involves building a West elemen
tary building now and an Eas
building in 1860, will be the besr
and most economical to meet Por
Clinton's school expansion needs

lieve.

All Blond And A Yard Iona

WHEN MOST women speak of
w letting their hair down, they
refer to a good heart-to-heart talk.
But for Joan McAliney of Sydney,
Australia, letting her hair down Is a
major operation akin to unrolling an
awning.
Joan's blond tresses are 81 inches
long-more than yard of spun gold
and still growing. Growing glory
that it is, however, Joan's luxuriant
crop of hair causes her some head
aches that have nothing to do with
the weight of her locks.
The weekly shampoo, for instance,
Is trouble enough, but drying her hair
takes Joan an entire day Since all
that hair won't fit under a bathing
cap, going swimming involves another
day of hair care And before bedtime,
Joan has to plat her hair into two
long braids, not because it looks de-
mure. she says, but because that's the
only way to keep it from getting into
a tangled mess by morning.
Joan has to make sure, too, that her
hair is properly pinned up when she
goes out If she walks along with her
hair blowing in the breeze like long
silk banner, pedestrians and drivers
disregard traffic rules and turn for a
second look, causing hazardous situa-
tons and often jamming up traffic.

We have some figures, the
value of Capital Transit assets
dating back since 1870-some oi
the properties in this country
Whatever we lost-we have got
IA book value of about $22 q
|share-whatever we lost, they
have to take up the tracks, we
will pick up. In my opinion
and I could be wrong-and in
the opinion of some of the
experts associated with me-we
could liquidate this corporation
for the, $22, but not under SIG

So If 1t Is the desire of the
United States Congress to say
Capital Transit, we are going
to take your franchise away
that is your privilege, but ! say
you will be making the biggest
mistake to try to get private
|capital-if you think you could
do it--let the Capital Transit
stay like on a standby-go ahead
and get the private capital, and
you get private capital. and you
assume capital AND people SUBJ

so, and so I will be happy to

WoIfson Issues ChoIIenge
To Find New Operator

The tert of Louis E. Wolf
sons remarks to the Senate
transit hearing on ,Dhat Mould
happen il the transit COM
pany's franchise were lifted
follo,Ds:
Mr.. Wolfson Ito Senator
Morse)vThe papers quoted yor
as saying that you could get
private capital to come here and
private operators Of the transit
system here.
Senator Morse - I expressed
the opinion that I thought ]
could.
Mr.. W0lfson - You thought
you could. ! will 60 on record
and say, Senator, if you can dc
it. am willing to make a rec
ommendation to my board al
any time to have this transit
company in a standby condi-
tion, even if we have this strike
settled, and you go ahead and GO
to work for any private capital
to come in here and render the
service here. and we win step
out-I will make that recon-
mendation-make it to the stock
holders Of this company. because
1t is impossible, in my opinion
I could be wrong.
In the first place, we got about
q $50 million rate base. and we
are entitled to 6 per cent. So the
Public Utilities Commission says,
or more. We have never earned
that 6 per cent.
We averaged 1.151 buses daily,
pieces of equipment, streetcars
and buses, in 1854.
$4,000 Per Bus
The price Of new buses today
is $23, ,000-some- -odd dollars. The
cost Of these 1,15l buses-I am
not criticizing your bill-if any
thing, 7 am trying to be help
full to see If that Is the best solu-
tioh-I am for anything that is
the best solution for Washing
ton, in this transit, because it
is a problem for me personally.
It would take $26,500,000 in
round figures to get 1,151 buses,
new buses, for any new company
coming in here.
You will need at least-I am
very, very conservative in this
f1gure-at least SIS million for
garages, properties, ETC., facil-
tiles, equipment, ct cetera. to get
at least a $40 million investment
No private capital is available
IN Washington. D. Co. and will
stake any little reputation may
have on finances, will be avail
able to Washington to provide
$40 million. They have to get
at least 6 per cent return. which
Is twice as much as on the rate
base that we have. The capita,
Is not available.
Another thing, under the pos
sibility that the Senate or the
Congress can take the franchise
away when they think you have
an emergency or a crisisAand

pany agreement to give a To-
cent hourly wage increase for

Utilities Commission grants an
immediate fare increase.
The unions Executive Board
was studying the offer this morn
ling, but there was little evidence

Those who knew how the union

were not satisfied with an agree
ment which gave no promise of

The plan presumes that COM
pany and union will negotiate
during the 120-day period and
reach a final understanding on
all points in the dispute. Mr..
Wolfson had his Board Of Di-
|rectors accept it in a special
meeting yesterday. He said it
would provide ali opportunity TO
determine what returns the fare
increase would bring. and how
they could be applied to labor
costs.

No question about it. I think it
is the only thing that you can
do to keep the rates as low as
we can, unless you get into a

And I think it would be the

a tremendous burden financially
on the community to ever get a
