PRINCE GEORGES
DECIDES TO ERASE
MEDIEVAL STIGMA

The Prince Georges County
Minutewomen have succeeded
in erasing a term which they
feel was a medieval reflec-
tion-the aims house in For
estville is henceforth to be
known as the County Rest
Home.
The change, recommended
in a Minutewomen letter, was
put in a resolution unani-
mously approved yesterday
by the Board of County Com
missioners. The letter noted
that while the 90 inmates re-
ceived good care and atten-
ton, the name "alms house"
seems relative to some
shameful medieval institu-
ton"
Similar complains from
persons residing near the rest
home prompted the county
commissioners last year to
change the name of the adj
joining street from Aims
House road to Darcy road.

Transit Firm
Delays Petition

D. C. Transit System decided
yesterday, after a closed con-
ference with the Public Utilities
Commission, to hold in allegiance
its petition to be allowed to base
profits on revenue rather than
the book value Of its plant.
In a statement after the ex-
ecutive session of more than two
tours, D. C. Transit spokesman
said they would not press for
a decision Immediately because
OF a position taken by the P. u. C.
legal staff.
Transit President o. Roy
Chalk asked the commission to
figure profits on the company's
revenue one day after the p. U. C.
ordered the company to write
down the book value" from $18
million to ST. million.
A prepared statement by Har-
vey Spear. Transit counsel. and
concurred in by P. U. c. Chair
man George E. c. Hayes, said:
Since the staff Of the P. u. C.
takes the position that, as a
matter of law under the fran
chise, the P. U. c. cannot make
a determination for the current
period as to the operating ratio
method. D. c. Transit is request
ing that the petition be held in
allegiance until such time as we
shall evaluate the need for re-
questing further action"
The P. U. c. staff, Mr.. Spear
explained, believes that the COM
mission is unable to rule on the
point until after August 81,
which is the end of the first l2-
month period of the company's
franchise.
Although commission person.
mel declined to be brought into
a detailed discussion of reasons
for their position, it is possible
that their stand may be based
on this language found in the
franchise approved by Congress:
"As soon as practicable after
the 12-month period ending on
August 81. 1857. and as soon as
practicable after the end Of such
subsequent l2-month period end
ing on August 81, the commits
sion shall determine the corpora
tons net operating income for
such l2-month period .
The statement. jointly APP
proved by the p. U. c. and the
company, declared that the COM
mission would set the matter
down for hearing If the transit
company so desires.
