The city is planning to obstruct shelters and a dis patch .ucility on (he Downtown Mall at the present central transfer point on Martin Street. City Transit Planner Bob Olason said the shelter will extend to the several boarding points immediately on both sides of the mall. When all this will take place, however, remains to be seen. The city has reauested state and federal funding to help complete the project and is waiting upon re^nse from ^these sources. The state’s response is tied to Sen. John Winters' Senate Bill 656. Winters said the bill is in the Senate Appropriations Com mittee. It includes $375,000 for completion of the mall, with the city dividing (he funding among the various promts on its drawing boards, such as the bus riders^ shelters Appropri ations will be among tfw last matters decided in this session of ^e General Assembly, Winters said.

Ola son said the Capital Area Transit system has received 16 shelters which have been designated for key boarding and unloading points through out the city. Many of the new shelters will be in the income areas where there is a ‘'high propensity” for riding the bus. Olason said. Olaaon said the new shelters cost about 118.000. The re mainder of the almost 700 stops will eventu 'ly have benches, though the bids have not been let. Olason said they have been designed ana bid ding should b^in in about a month. He also said be expects the 16 shelters to be In place in about a month. With 6,000 riders per day, Olason said the maas transit system is doing better than it has in 15 years. ”It't getting better,” he said, noting that riders have ‘‘increased 12Vk percent this year.

If the FCC revokes the license, the black-oriented ra- dion station would be forced off the air. Last year, the radio station was ordered to pay a $10,000 fine by FCC administrative law judge Ernest Nash, after he ruled that it falsely billed advertisers in violation of commission rules. The FCC Broadcast Bureau, however, contended that the fine was not a strong enough penalty and asked the full commission to revoke the license of WLLE. Arguments in the case were heard by the commission last Thursday, at which time a representative of the station’s ownership is alleged to have admitted. "We were wrong," but said the problems have been cleared up. John T. Kelly, a Broadcast Burbau legal counsel, said WLLE billed 120 advertisers for $60,000 worth of commer cials that were never broad cast on the station and also engaged in double-billing of the Gtuf Oil Company. He said these practices occurred dur ing of period from 1971-1973. Wallace Hankin, white prin cipal owner of WLLE. is said to be a central figure in the arguments before the commis sion.
