Tobacco Market Licensing Upheld
Agriculture Commissioner John Johnson's action licensing a second tobacco market was upheld by the State Supreme Court. The court declined to review the commissioner's action unanimously after Huntington Tobacco Market appealed following Johnson's April authorization of a rival market at Huntington by Tri-State Tobacco Market. The piece also notes the court's unanimous denial to prohibit Circuit Judge Worrell from docketing an appeal and other minor docket matters involving Baldridge and Magisterial issues in McDowell County.

Hike in Bus Fares Asked by Eastern Greyhound Lines
Eastern Greyhound Lines asked the Public Service Commission for higher fares aimed at adding about $10,000 annually from West Virginia customers. The routes include Capon Bridge to Parkersburg and Clarksburg to Point Marion, with some short runs in the Northern and Eastern Panhandles. Traffic Manager M J O Rourke said the new rates would still lose money for West Virginia operations, which account for about 1 percent of the company’s 300 plus miles in the state. Also filed without protest was a West Virginia Water Service Co request for higher rates if service is provided from its Montgomery plant.
