 Dr. Norby said the amount of aid the State would contribute to the new Kenai High School would depend upon the amount of local entitlement for 815 funds, but the State could req sonably be expected to carry it's proportionate share of the load for those children attend ing from outside the incorporat- ed area. From 5% to 95%o was his way of phrasing it.

The problems of this inaug-

D. {. Transit
Turned Down
On Fare Rise
P. U. c. Rejects Bid
To Sell a Tokens
For 95 Cents
BY SAM EASTMAN
star StaR Writer

D. c. Transit Systems re-
quest for a fare increase was
rejected today by the District
Public Utilities Commission.
The company had asked last
September for permission to
raise the price of its tokens
from five for 81 to four for 95
cents.
The three-member commits
sion, however, today backed
the findings of its staff that
q fare increase is not war
,ranted.
In its order today, the r. q. c.
said the current fare schedule
is "just. reasonable and non
discriminatory. -"
During the hearings on the
company's petition, the P. U. c.
staff's major argument against
q fare rise involved the ques-
ton of bus depreciation funds.
Depreciation at Issue
E. Edward Mclean, the
P.U.C.'s chief accountant. tes-
titled that the company's bus
depreciation fund should be
geared to q 17-year service life
for each vehicle, rather than
the present 14-year basis.
BY this change, Mr.. Mclean
said, there would be a book
keeping gain in net operating
income of about $4,000 dur
ing a six-month period ending
at the close of next month.
This increase would. in turn.
erase any justification for the
higher fares, Mr.. Mclean testi-
fled.
The chief accountant said
transit riders have invested $2.4
million in excess bus deprecia-
ton.
To this argument, the COM
pany's attorney. Harvey M.
Spear, replied that the average
life Of a bus in this country
actually is only IL years. II
the depreciation period is ex-
tended to II years, Mr.. Spears
said, the public will find itself
riding on older and older buses.
In today's order, P. U. C.
told the company to carry out
the bus depreciation adjust
ment recommended by Mr..
Mclean.
May Try Again
During the hearings, the
company indicated that if its
request was turned down it
would have no choice but to
come back with another fare
rise petition.
D. c. Transit was granted aI
fare increase effective last
March. The P. U. c. raised
cash fares from 20 cents to Is
cents, but ordered tokens to be
sold five for 81. Before, the
tokens could be bought singly
for 20 cents. The p. q. C.'s
decision fell short of the ccm-
pany'S request.
During the latest hearings,
Mr.. Mclean testified that the |
current fares are adequate |
through at least the end Of
next month. He said he could
not make a recommendation |
past that date because Of lack
of data on the effect Of last
March's fare rise and the con-
version last January of four
streetcar lines to bus service. .
The company's position was
that the months ahead are
crucial ones, mainly because
of a labor contract calling for
automatic pay raises.
According to the company's
figures, the increase in the
price Of tokens would have
given it an annual rate Of re-
turn of 5.36 per cent. Last
March, the commission said
the increase in cash fares
would give the company 4.1
per cent rate Of return ard
