Public Service Commission weighs Tri-City Traction request to raise Bluefield and Princeton bus fares from five to seven cents. Accountant W C Reddy testified the increase would yield about $101,000 more in annual revenue based on nine months of 1948 traffic. Company official W D Shuff said 75 employees would gain wage increases and that the firm would barely break even this year. He noted 1948 earnings lagged January November 1947 and anticipated reduced Princeton traffic due to industrial shutdowns. Shuff outlined plans to buy five new buses at $10,000 each and replacement costs for current buses. He contrasted $232,000 property valuation with $212,000 operating property value and about $20,000 supplies. The Princeton city opposed the increase. the hearing included questions about income allocation across routes. The Tri-City party appeared with President S J Evans, Secretary Shuff, and attorney H E DeJarnette.
