CONSIDER PLANS FOR EQUALIZATION public Service Commission Mav Make Change In Bus Depreciation Fund •Bin'apolln. Oct. 22—Thc memben, of the public service commtagloll today are eonsklerinK plans for th ,. eqiia'l* Btlon ° r thc buß l,c P rec,a tioii fund. lt m not known just what steps will l„. taken but In View of testimony presented at a hearing yesterday It is considered probable that some differentiation between passenget busses and freight trucks will be made. A plea that the operators be pernetted to carry the depreciation fund as a book account instead as cash also is being considered It was pointed that the operators need the money for the establishment of ailequate credit. Members of the commission indicated that it would be impossible to establish a separate depreciation fund for each company. Such action, one member of thc commission said, would require the of a lajrge number of additional clerks and that the budget committee would not approve of a.uch action. Operators of freight lines, at the hearing, declared the life of a truck is much longer than that of a passenger bus and urged the deprqclaton fund for truck lines be set at one per cent instead of two and one half per cent as ordered by the commission. Only two states besides Indiana require a cash depreciation fund for bus and truck operators. along the sidelines (United Press) Champaign — The Illini is concentrating on defense in this week's practice The reappearance of Chuck Brown, last year's 'tackle, hAs put new life into the team.
