One step or the other is nec-esary to raise about $2,000,000 which the city needs as a result of state legislation increasing municipal expenses and reducing revenue. Hearn, a longtime advocate of the garbage tax, pointed out that it would constitute direct payment for services. The tax, he said, would produce slightly less money than the actual cost of garbage collection and disposal.

A bond election is scheduled for Sept. 25, and Hearn said the tax question could be added to the ballot.

The Florida Supreme Court ruled today that the village of Virginia Gardens, a suburb of Miami, must allow the private water company which serves it rates that will permit a "just and reasonable" profit. The court, upholding a ruling by Circuit Judge, Fat Cannon, voided as unconstitutional municipal ordinances which fixed the maximum rates the Haven Water Co. could charge.

The ordinances adopted in 1954 by the village council had the effect of reducing the private water company's revenues 20 per cent. The company contended the reduced rates forced it to operate at a loss. The Supreme Court, in an opinion written by Justice Glenn Terrell, said the evidence showed the maximum rates allowed by the ordinances caused the company to operate at a net loss of nearly $1,000 a year.

Wave Lengths Limited The reason for putting all the stations on the ultra high frequency, instead of putting them all on VHF, is that there are not enough low frequency wave lengths to go around. That is.

if you put all the stations in the country on the 13 VHF channels, they would overlap and persons in areas where they received the same signal from two stations wouldn't get anything on their sets. The 70 ultra high frequency channels permit a great many more stations to operate without conflict.
