sociations last night called or
the Public Utilities Commission
to consider lower fares for the

fore allowing luxury innova-
tons" in public transit.

thus Offset.

opposed any substantial reduce
ton in the number of bus stops.
The report also requested that
hearings be held before any ac-
ton is taken on the use of
metered taxis in place of the

Public Utilities Committee.

ton adopted resolution in favor
