The city council Wednesday night ratified the prior action of the board of public works and safety granting the Northern In diana Transit, token fare rite increases. At the same time Mayor George A. Schock said that if the bus company fails to see that "its service is improved, we will." The council also ratified a board agreement clearing the way for the Studebaker corporation to con struct two additional railroad spurs across Chippewa avenue to Its manufacturing plants. The bus rate increase means that effective from on or about March 28, patrons will continue to pay the present 10-cent straight cash fare and school children, five cents, but they will begin to buy tokens at the rate of five for 45 cents instead of three for 25 cents and seven for 50 cents. Hinges on Rerouting.

It also means that just before the new rates become effective the new bus routes through the downtown area demanded by the city administration will become effective. Action came after a two-hour unscheduled public hearing of complaints which centered not so much on objections to a bus fare increase but on protests against what was described as inferior service in various parts of the city. Legally no public hearing was required, to adopt the bill ratifying the rate increase approved by the board of public works and safety. "A public hearing before the board of public works and safety was held as required by law, but was poorly attended," the mayor explained. "However, over a period of about a month, this matter of rates and route changes has been gone over thoroughly by the city officials of South Bend -and Mishawaka.

and a workable plan has been devised. I have every confidence that the bus company has entered into the agreement in good faith and intends to carry out its provisions which include alterations and improvements in its service not only downtown but the outlying districts. I say now however, that if the bus company does not cause its service to be improved, we will." Public Represented. The spectators' seats were occupied by 19 persons, five of whom were bus company officials and employes, and four of whom were city employes, leaving the public represented by 10 "remonstra-tors." Of these, Jessie Dickinson, 1023 Talbot avenue, a former member of the Indiana house of representatives from St. Joseph county, complained that the residents of the city east of Eddy street in the northeast section, are deprived of service on the Notre Dame line, "because the Notre Dame students crowd the busses and no one else can get on." He was promised by W.

W. Watterson, general superintendent of the company, that it is studying this situation and hopes to remedy it soon. Sam Corle, 2022 Mishawaka avenue, repeated his demand, rnada two weeks ago before the board of works hearing, that a "loop be in eight-block-wide River Park, and busses be required to stop at every street. Councilmen Walter G. Glass, representing that dis--trict, suggested staggering the pick up points along Mishawaka avenue.

Mr. Watterson said it could be done easily. Planner Objects. Miss Virginia Guthrie, of the ning Association, repeated her objections to the rate increase as being unsustained by a demonstration of need, and asked that the three-f or-quarter rate be retained. She expressed wonder at where the company's war time profits had gone.

Mr. Johannes replied that Uncle Sam got them. Councilman Chester Muszynski asked if service could -not be im- proved in the southwest section or the city. He was told it could and would be. Councilman Albert Tellson suggested that identification panels on the sides of busses would be a boon to users, particularly at the transfer points downtown.

He was assured by Mr. Watterson that this is in the program. Mr. Johnnes summed up for the company by stating that it hopes to "give South Bend a very complete and modern bus service, but that it must have the income to justify improvements. He pointed out that the company has assured the city in writing that it will use the services of the best route and schedule experts available in making surveys to point the way to improvements.

James Fagotis, who is Well-versed in Courtroom procedure by virtue of numerous appearances as a defendant in house of ill fame charges is the plaintiff in a $7,000 suit filed in St, Joseph county superior court No. 2 against Harry and Viola Basil, 1017 Emerson avenue.

In the suit, Pagtetis alleges that he lent Mr. and Mrs. Basil $6,500 to open a tavern and restaurant at Michigan street and Western avenue.
