By IRVING LEIBOWITZ

Transit riders unexpectedly told top Indianapolis business, civie and labor leaders today that they don’t mind paying a 20-cent cash fare better service is provided, This statement was made repeatedly by bus and streetcar| passengers at a special transit] , conference at the Statehouse. Public Counselor Walter Jones called the conference after Indianapolis Railways, Inc. last week asked the state to approve new and higher fares. The transit company wants: Basic Cash Fare—20 Cents. Weekly Permit Cards—~65 Cents, entitling the holder to an unlimited number of rides on payment of 10 cents additional each time the permit card is used. School Fares — 10 Cents for high school pupils, 5 cents for grade school pupils.

it was obvious they felt the pub. 25 Indiana Parent-Teachers Association convention opened are Mrs. Me was more od pun Edgar Dixon (left), Little Rock, Ark. secretary of the national service than the higher fares. PTA Congress, and Mrs. Robert Shank, Indianapolis, member of On one point, all agreed. state PTA board of managers. “Indianapolis needs a well-bal-anced, mass transportation system—and one that makes a profit.”

Want ‘Fair’ Figures

And, in order to have a workable transit system, representatives at the conference felt the public should pay a fare that would be high enough to give the transit system a profit, but one low enough to keep people ridin the city’s busses and streetcars, It was pointed out the transit system hauls 180,000 riders daily. Theodore B. Griffith, president of L. 8S. Ayres & Co., called for an unprejudiced approach to the problem, ; “We must realize,” he said, ‘that everything is going up. We cannot sacrifice our transportation system.” One transit passenger, who } rides two lines daily, Mrs. Henrietta Wickliff, 1621 Carrollton Ave., complained transit service needs improving but added she would be “glad to/ pay higher fares for better service.”

Sees Improvement

R. D. Coate, 5470 N. Capitol Ave., representing 117 transit riders in Northwest Indianapolis, said he felt transit service was|} improving and “we should pay as much as necessary to give us first class service.” » LET 'EM KEEP IT—Opposing federal aid are a group of local a. bus rider suggested a zone pTA units whose leaders include Mrs. Vincent Adams and Robert William Book, executive direc- Beckman.
