Bus Fare Increase
Portland IIP) A proposed
hike in city bus fares from 20
to 25 cents a ride was chal
lenged Tuesday by Oregon
Public Utility Commissioner
Howard Morgan.
Morgan said the city of
Portland, in granting the fare
hike, had not complied with
an Oregon statute which re
quires that the fare increase
contract be submitted to him
and which gives him 90 days
to study it. He said that if the
public utilities commissioner
files objections, the ordinance
cannot become valid unless
ratifietd by voters of the city.
City officials had no im
mediate comment.
The fare hike is scheduled
to go into effect Sunday.
