Elyria Utilities Panel Urges Taxi Fare Increase
Elyria's utilities committee urged a ten cent taxi rate hike for Checker Cab Co due to higher operating costs from rising gas prices. The move would raise the base fare from 80 to 90 cents, keep downtown to Lorain County Community College trips at $2, and potentially boost annual revenue by about $20,000 to keep the firm in the black. Some members urged senior citizen subsidies and possible city funding to aid low income riders.

Course on police test called wasted
Fifty Cleveland police candidates who paid $150 for a deputy inspector’s course may have wasted time and money, says Oberlin College psychologist Dr Norman D Henderson. He doubts the six week course by Donald F McNea will help on the Feb 23 entrance exam, noting the test revision aims to measure personal traits in officers after a federal court ruled previous tests discriminated against minorities. McNea has trained applicants since 1950 and collects $7500 for the six weeks.
