SEtiON TICKETS ON TILE FOOTII-WESTERN.—A
meting of second-class season ticket-holders on this line,
and others interested in the reduction and adjustment of
th, fares, RAS held at the Royal Hotel, Richmond, last
Trying, "to receive a communication from the directors,
and to take such further steps as may be deemed necessary."
Mr. Wool preeded.—Mr. D. Christie, the secretary, read
the report of a committee appointed at a former meeting.
It appeared that some short time since a memorial had been
addressed to the beard of directors, soliciting • reduction
and adjustment of the fares for periodical tickets; and,
from • statement set forth in the memorial, it was proved
that in some localities on this line the party who travelled
every day and paid his fare did it at a lower price than by
taking a season ticket. 7he answer from the directors was
to the effect that they saw no just reason why they should
alter the tolls. A long discussion ensued, and ultimately a
resolution was unanimously adopted, pledging the meeting
still to continue to use every possible effott to obtain the
object they had in view. A vote of thanks to the com-
mute who bad formed the memorial, and who were re-
quested to cuntinuc their services, and to the chairman, cem•
eluded the proceedings.
