THE DE KALB DAILY CHRONICLE 2 DE KALB, ILLINOIS, MONDAY, JANUARY 30, 1967 PAGE THIRTEEN SYCAMORE PREPARES FOR CITY ELECTION Contest Develops In Fourth Ward SYCAMORE One thus far has developed for the off year election of Sycamore City Government to be held April 18. Half the aldermen will be elected this year. The offices of City Treasurer, City Clerk, Mayor and other aldermen will remain in their posts. There are four wards in the city of Sycamore. Two years ago when the city was redistricted from five wards to the present four, the fourth ward retained one incumbent, Charles Jespersen, and the fifth ward held over Martha McCabe.

These two aldermen formed the fourth ward. As each ward has two alder-. men, only half of the aldermen will be elected on April 18. However, in the fourth ward there shall be a double vacancy to be filled, as a result districting. At present, Alder-, men Schinske has replaced Alderman McCabe, as she was unable to complete her term.

Police Will Remove Cars If Blocking SYCAMORE Sycamore Police Department and City Street Department will cooperate Wednesday morning to remove cars from city streets where they block snow removal. Residents who have cars on streets not dug out and moved, were advised by both departments to do so. One section of the town will be handled at a time. Police will arrange for removal autos and street crews then will clear blocked streets. Similar action was necessary a few years ago, said Police Chief Richard Mattis, when was found that a large number of cars prevented clearing.

It will be less troublesome for auto owners to move cars by Wednesday morning, he said. Snow removal continues 1 in town as one of the machines returns to operation with blade repaired.

Cecile Nichols Long Haul Passenger Is Dying A Pauper's Death BUCKHORN WASHINGTON (UPI) -The flong-haul passenger train, onetime king of the continent, is dying a pauper's death.

what it can, but railroading is, not a charity business. If the trains don't pay, they can't stay, In the middle is the government, still saddled with railroad reguiations more applicable to an era when Indian arrows and buffalo herds were more of a menace to trains than economic factors. Interstate Commerce Commission Chairman William Tucker says his agency doesn't have enough leeway under present laws to deal efficiently with the problems of declining passenger service. Yet he feels the passenger train still has a role to play, It should, he said, become part of a new nationwide transportation system that would mesh everything from high-speed ground transportation to giant air buses into one coordinated means of moving people. more than $22,000 in income taxes in 1962.

If there is one single thing that reflects the passenger train's decline it is statistics, In 1966, passenger revenues dropped to $545 million- one twentieth of the industry's total. In 1944 record year, handled 95 billion 'passenger miles. In 1966, the figure was one-fourth that. In 1944, the number of passengers, carried by trains topped million mark. In 1966 the figure was 300 million.

Things are different on the freight side of the ledger. Freight accounted for 90 per cent of the industry's $10 billion gross revenue total in 1966. Such figures often are used by critics in an effort to show that the industry is ignoring passenger train service and concentrating on freight business.

Growing airport congestion could be another plus for the railroads, who usually deliver passengers to the middle of city, not miles away in suburb. Trains run in all kinds of weather, and they go to many more places than the airlines, backer says. The railroads label all as misleading oversimplification.

Industry say railroads--no matter what they did--couldn't reverse the declinling passenger train trend by themselves. As they put it, no amount of pretty hostesses, cleaner cars or faster trains will turn into money-makers if the public won't ride them.
