ed from past practice by lump
ing financial figures on the
controversial charter and
sightseeing part Of its business
in with figures o noverall oper-
atoms. This already has been
challenged by the commission
stan and is expected to be a
major subject in the cross
examination Of Mr.. Flanagan
by commission attorneys.
The company reported its
charter and sightseeing buses
took in S398,569 in the year
ended March 81, but it failed
to give operating costs.
The company did report OPP
Grating costs on its 26 limou-
Slnes. which also are serving
for charter and sightseeing
purposes, however. The limou-
sines. in the year ended March
81, took in $75,590 but cost
Sill .246 to operate, the COM
pany's report showed.
Allowed 10 Civic Views
Three opposition scores
were permitted to state their
views before the commission.
Mrs. c. Rhodes Cox, presi-
dent Of the District Congress
OF Parents and Teachers voiced
that organizations strong OPP
position to any increase in
school fares.
Mrs. Cox pointed out that
D. c. Transit's proposal to
raise the fare to 10 cents per
ride would raise the travel cost
81 per week per child.
This she said, would be
the equivalent of the price Of
about four quarts of milk. You
can see what this would mean
to the family with several
children"
The Emergency Committee
to Save the Streetcars, through
its chairman, @. NJ. Koockogey,
attacked the transit law re-
quiring ultimate substitution
Of buses for all existing street.
car service.
Relating the streetcar-versus-
bus controversy to the fare in
crease proposal, Mr.. Koockogey
said the rate rise request is
plainly anticipatory."
1T is solely to meet the an
ticipated cost of compulsory
conversion to an all-bus sys-
tenn" he said.
Civic Spokesman Here
A spokesman for the Fed
Grafton of Civic Associations
announced opposition to rails
ing either regular or school
fares.
I'VE are in the throeS Of a
recession. and much of the
Washington population is A.
nancially unable to purchase
transit rides" William H..
Thomas told the commission.
The Federation. Mr.. Thomas
added, believes speed replace
ment of streetcars by buses
would be desirable.

BEIRUT. Lebanon, June 80
tP).-Rebels drove into hills
overlooking Beirut today and
security forces fought back
with jet planes, artillery and
armored cars.
The surprise thrust brought
rebel mountain fighters closer
to the capital and Beirut Inter-
national Airport than at any
time since the revolt began
May 10.
Security forces struck back
Immediately and wrested two
hills from the rebels near Hem
Ian village. but the fighting con-
tinued.
Small Arms Used
The rebels we're followers Of
mountain leader Kamal Jum-
blatt, who holds a large area
south and east of Beirut. His
men fired only small arms that
do not have the range 20 hit
the airport five miles away.
But Jumblatt's push into the
hills was considered highly sig
nificant. There have been fire.
quent rumors that he planned
a march on Beirut.
The hills the rebels occupied
are between Chemlan and Kay
foun and are nearly 5000 feet
high. The airport and Beirut

crease in fares"
Serious Problems Ahead
He said the company faces
serious problems. including ris-
ing costs and the major expen-
diture Of the streetcar CONVEX
sion.
New buses to replace street.
cars and wornout buses are
costing far more than the old
equipment did, he noted.
Track removal and repaving
In connection with the STREET
car abandonment are expected
to cost $ll.s million or more,
without provision for new
buses. Mr.. Flanagan said.
The transit ofiicial argued
that, because of the streetcar
abandonment, the commission
would have increasing dificulty
in attempting to base fares in
the customary method.
Mr.. Flanagan predicted that
the proposed dropping Of
tokens and weekly permits
would cost the company a lo
OF some riders and that the
proposed lifting of school fares
from ia cents to 10 cents
would reduce the number Of
school pupils using transit by
IL per cent.
But, he said, he thought the
general public would scarcely
notice the changes. Only 40
to IS per cent Of the systems
riders use tokens, and pedmit-
users who pay 90 cents for the
permit and 10 cents for each
ride have never been as num-
erous as the company had
hoped. he said.
Save Cent a Ride
Tokens he pointed out, save
the rider only a penney per
ride. They sell now at Ave for
IS cents.
The transit Official estimated
that the company would earn
"a 1926 per cent return on its
expected up rating revenue en-
the basis of the proposed fare
changes.
Just before Mr.. Flanagan
began presenting the COM
pany's fare case, the commits
sion agreed to permit Gray
Line, Inc, Washington Sight,
seeing Bus Operator, to inter-
vene in the fare proceedings.
Safeway Trails, Inc. another
bus line, also was allowed 10
intervene.
The commission action was
taken over vigorous objections
from Mr.. Spear, who accused
Gray Line of being the ring
leader in recent complaints
by q number Of sightseeing
operators about d. c. Transit
sightseeing and charter activi-
ties. Ofiicials of Gray Line and
other firms last month charged
before the House Select Com
mittee on Small Business, that
D. c. Transit has been subsi-
diZing charter and sightseeing
operations with its mass transit
business. They also complained
that the transit firm was I'M
fairly using tax concessions
to promote these sideline &C
tivities.
P.U.C. Action Urged
Gray Line last week petit
toned the utilities commission
to go into the sightseeing pic
ture as part of the fare hear
ings. Commission Chairman
George E. c. Hayes today said
the commission did not plan
to broaden the scope Of the
hearings to the extent asked
in the petition. But he said
the commission would give
some attention to the COM
plants.

School Board, to more fully ex-
plain these purposes.
Mr.. Garfield stated: I'VE are
pleased to see so many here
and willing to help as We are
going to need help" He next
described the school district eX-
panSion needs due to the mer-
ger, which took place within the
past year. According to Mr.
Garfield, the Chardon School
District of today includes some
rs square miles in territory and
$50 or more major highway
miles to cover with the school
buSseS. BY a map drawing, the
board superintendent showed
the present school facilities ex-
istant in the various communi-
ties.
With the 'phenonimal growth
and building taking place, our
particular district is put in a
very explosive situation, stated
Geauga record. [volume] (Chardon, Geauga County, Ohio) 1952-1962, 1958-06-05

Mr.. Garfield. Past surveys of
the situation have proven low
and been exceeded already. In
1856, the Heller Report found an
eXtimate of the area groWnth for
the next three years would in
crease some 1913 percent. The
latest figures of the Illuminating
Co. report of May SD show a
double population increase by
the year 1855 as a possibility.
BY 1861 the school population
will have jumped from 1920 to
1892 students; and 36 more
claSsrooms will be needed to
m ct these Accommodations,
according to Mr.. Garfield.
Following the Heller Report,
the board decided Capitalization
of the elementary school sys-
tenn might be wise. The first
step in this Capitalization is
building of the new elementary
school on Maple st. across from

for Embezzeling

Former Geauga County Depu-
ty Sheriff Albert Stevens, 80, is
out on $1,000 bond today after
spending Monday behind bars in
the custody of his fomer boss,
Sheriff Louis RobuSky.
Stevens was bound over to the
grand jury in the court of Judge
william r. Macdonald Monday
night on charges of embezzeling
public property, fraudulent con-
version and selling public pro-
perty with intent to defraud.
According to Sheriff Robusky,
Stevens, who was assigned to
Chagrin Falls Park Allotment
was given a gasoline credit
card. The sheriff said this is a
standard procedure and all
deputies have the cards.
He said Stevens used the cred
it card to buy about II new tires
valued at $500, and then sold
them in Cleveland.
Stevens has been deputy
since January 1857 when RobuS-
ky took office. The error was
discovered Saturday moEning
and he was charged on Mon
day.

Representative of the PTA

DinSmore, who is president of
Chardon PTA and from Claridon

how this issue effects each di-
rect community in the school
system. In giving his viewpoint
on this matter, Mr.. DinSmore
told how the PTA had been very
instrumental in things of this
nature in the past. This idea Of
formation of a citizens commit
tee such as this one, is whole
heartedly endorsed by the PTA
organizations, was Mr.. DinS-
more'S concluding statement.
Following this, Mr.. Thorton
outlined to the group the dual
purpose of this committee for

To set up longtime planning
programs; and 2. To best meet
the immediate needs in the area

Kidnapper
May Get
New Trial

Edward R. Bates, convicted
child stealer, was given a
chance this week to be acquitted
of the charge when the seventh
district court of appeals revers-
ed a decision of Geauga Com
mon Pleas Court.
Bates, 81, was found guilty in
court here in December of kid
mapping a three year old A
mish girl. He was tried by a
jury of five men and seven wo-
men, and sentenced to five to
80 years in the Ohio State Peni-
tentiary by Judge Harold J.
Richmond.
Execution of the sentence was
suspended and Bates was re-
leased on a $1,000 appeals bond,
pending the ruling of the ap-
peals court.
The decision of the Geauga
Court was reversed for error in
admission of evidence. This was
one of three points on which Ba-
teS' attorney, James L. Wern-
er, appealed the case.
! Werner said in the appeal he
charged the Geauga Court incor-
rectly admitted hearSay evil
