It is proposed on the east side of Wallace Road, north of Brush College Road. The land use committee's three members were in unanimous opposition to the change.

They contended it should be left for agricultural use. and that to charge this property would make it difficult to deny limilar changes in the future.

Total Revenues Revenues during the two-month period totaled $26,771 while operation and maintenance cost $24, 243, a margin of $2,528. Capital outlay for the bus system totaled an additional $18,695, but this was mostly a one-time cost to purchase the bus system and for a new bus shelter. Near Estimate Moore said the two-month financial picture for the bus operation was "just about what we estimated in the budget. With our federal subsidy (about $300,000) for new buses we will just about break even for the year." Moore said that the revenue and operation cost figures were not actually correct since the city is absorbing all of the administrative costs. But Moore said that once the system is in full swing with new buses these costs will be an insignificant expense of the overall city administrative machinery.

Most city officials regard the first two months of operation as "running in the black." Couldn't Replace Buses The old driver-owned Capital Transit Lines Inc. was near bankruptcy when the city voters agreed in May to purchase the system. The private owners operated the system slightly in the black during a number of periods but were never able to set aside any money for replacements of its old buses. The city will get 17 new 35-pass-enger buses about Christmas time, but most of this expenditure is being paid by the federal government. Ford Raises Car Prices DETROIT (AP) Ford Motor Co.

Udall's announcement said it is planned to fly the first satellite in 1969 and the cost of launching this vehicle is not expected to exceed $20 million, "far less than the cost of photographing the earth by conventional aerial means." Udall named Dr.

William F. Pecora, director of the Geological Survey, to head the program. "See" Beneath Cover Pecora described space-sensing of the earth as "the ability to see' more easily beneath the water and forest or soil cover, and the ability to view areas of the earth repetitively at various times and seasons. "Even population counts and measurements of daily fluctuations in the traffic flow of both people and vehicles seem to be within the capability of remote-sensing techniques," he said.

Arrington said the letter was signed, "the boys from out of town" and told Percy: "We hope we won't have to take you on a one-way ride." "I consider it a crank letter," Arrington commented. The letter also mentioned Rep. Gerald Ford. the GOP House minority leader, saying, "It won't be long before we go to Washington for Mr. Ford." He said the letter also mentioned former Sen.

Barry Gold-water of Arizona, the unsuccessful GOP presidential candidate. "Watch Such Men" Lumping Goldwater with Nixon and Dirksen, he said, the letter staled, "We've been ordered to watch such men when they come to town. Arrington already is in town."

Officials described the achievement as a victory of sorts for the United States because teams from France, Sweden, Canada, Belgium and the Soviet Union have made ice drillings for years with limited success.

The scientists said the project eventually should provide some information on the yearly changes in the ice cap's depth and changes in its flow. Analysis of the dust and pollen trapped in century old air bubbles should give other hints of the earth's climate throughout history, they said. The project cost an estimated $600,000, officials said. BASEBALL 13 Demos Sign To Strip Power Of Rep.

WASHINGTON (AP) The Army is planning to take a cold look at the past 10,000 years of it.

A team of researchers reported Tuesday success in drilling through nearly a mile of the polar ice cap, rich in clues of the world's yesteryears. To celebrate it, they served Pentagon newsmen soft drinks cooled with ice formed 2,000 years ago about the time Christ was born. The ice was found 1,800 feet inder the surface at the Army's drilling site in Camp Century on Greenland's upper northwest coast. The researchers said they estimated the age by measuring layers in samples of the ice which, like tree rings, reflect each season and tell something about it.
