Nickell, last week called attention to the second anniversary of one of th& most important milestones in war waged against polio .by the National i Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. It was two years ago that announcement was made of §ie identification of the three tyfl&s of polio. This was the first step in the development of a polio vaccine. Electric Gas Rates To Commonwealth Edison company and its Public Service company division will increase electric and gas rates by an average of about 6 bit per cent with meter readings on and after Feb. 1. This was announced by Willis Gale., chairman, following issuance of. an order Jan. 16 by the Illiiidis Commerce Commission authorizing the company to increase its rates. The increase, which will apply generally to all users, Will raise Edison's gross revenues an estimated $20,480,000 annually. It is the first general rate increase in Edison's 66-year history as against mo^e than two dozen rate decreases -- the last as recent as 1946. Public hearings, which were held over a four-month period beginning last September, showed conclusively, the Commission said, that the company's request was modest In view of a continuous post-war rise""^in__the costs of doing business. The added revenue, It was pointed out, will amount to but $9,350,000 annually after taxes. The new rates are expected to produce a return of about 5% per cent of the company's Invested capital, whereas in 1952 it had earned but a 4.8 per cent return. The Commission agreed with the company's contention that a 4.8 per cent Return was inadequate to attract new capital on favorable terms to meet remaining costs of Its $1,100,- 000,000 post-war construction program. Of the $20,480,000 gross annual increase, >1,730,000 electric users in Chicago and across a largfc area of northern Illinois will pay about $17,500,000. The remaining $2,980,000 applies to about 4tS0,0b0 gas users in ?3& communities outside Chicago Sferved by Public Service division. A residential electric customer of the ftdison-Publlc Service system who uses 150 kilowatthours a month will 'pay about fortysix cents a month mort under the new rate scheduler An . average residential gas .customer of Public Service (including house toatlng and water Seating users) will pay about forty-eight cents a month more. A householder who uses gas for cooking only, however, will pay but a slight increase. The Commission also authorized the company to include a fuel adjustment clause in its electric rates and a purchased gas adjustment clause in its g.is rates. The fuel clause would permit the company to raise or lower electric charges as the cost of fuel fluctuates. The gas clause would allow increases or decreases in gas rates to reflect future changes in the cost of natural gas purchased by the compi 1.799 LICENSES REVOKED UNDER NEW DRIVER ACT A. total at 1,799 drivers licenses, chauffeurs licenses or dttving privileges were revoked during the first six months the new Drivers License Act was in effect, Secretary of State Charles F. Carpentier has reported. A little more than 98 per cent of the revocations -- 1,767 -- were for conviction on charges of driving while intoxicated, and of the thirty-two for conviction on other charges, drunken driving was a factor in some of them, Secretary Carpentier said. Ttventy-ftve revocations were for. conviction on charges of leaving the scene of an accident, five l*r both driving while intoxicated and leaving the sceno of an accident and two Cor reckless homicide. The final figures for 1953 showed that 947 of the persons revoked und<*r the new law were residents of Cook county, 701 were residents of downstate and 151 were residents of other states. The total of 1,799 revocations between July 1 and Dec. 31, 1953, was a sharp decline from the figure for the first half of the year, wheh the state was operating under the old law. For that period the total was 2,532. j Secretary Carpentier Mid he Relieves ap important factor in that decrease is the publicity given to the new law and its enforcement by his office through newspapers, radio, television and safety organizations. "The people of Illinois are far more conscious today of the penalties for drunken driving and of the fact that those penalties are being imposed than they were six months ago," Mr. Carpentier said. "The result of this publicity la that people are doing more, thinking instead of more drinking before they get behind the wheel of a car. That is one of the important things we hoped to accomplish with this law." v Revocations for the full 12 months of 1953 were 718 more than the 1952 total. The figures are: 1953,- 4,331; 1952, 3,613.
