10 The Editors Of The american Telegraph.
GENTLEMEN: Observation of a growing abuse
justiies, nay, requires an exposure, that a
proper corrective may be applied. From this
section, by reason of its proximity to the lower
counties of Virginia and Maryland, there is of
necessity considerable travel up the valley Of
Virgins, by way of Washington. For the want
Of proper competition, travellers have been
obliged to submit to what they were anxiously
looking for remedy; not alone for distance
unnecessarily travelled out of direct course,
but the want of satisfaction in the certainty to
the transfer Of baggage, where "checks" ure
only to q certain extent regarded. But rail
roads have ways of their own, and even when
IN want OF 800, ,O00-and when in spirit Of
pecuniary accommodation bonds Of as low an
amount as $3.50 will be given and six per cent.
interest granted. The evil will be first exposed,
and the remedy suggested; for II would seem
that the nuisance and wrong were to be insid-
iously fired upon the community.

Fare between Washington and BaIti-
more.

To the Editors Of The american Teleqraph.
GENTLEMEN: BY the Baltimore Sun of the
1lth instant, it is perceived that the Board of
Directors Of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company have determined to reduce the fare to
Cumberland from So to So. This is good news,
and will be very acceptable to the travelling
community, and at the same time rebound to
the credit OF the Company, as well as, doubtless,
greatly increase its prosperity. So far good !;
but is the Washington branch to be overlooked?
If there was any demand or expediency for
lower rate of fare on the one route, surely the
same reasons will apply to the other, and call
for corresponding reduction. The Washing
ton stem, considering receipts from passen-
gers, yields in proportion a much greater
revenue in that particular than the main stem,
as will be seen from the reports of the Com
pany. Bearing in mind that the distance or
length of the latter is 10. and the former 4O
miles, it is clear that an argument in favor Of a
reduction Of fare in the one case will apply
with more force to the other for, III 40 miles
Of travel yield $40, 900 month, and 10 bur
S33, 900, (this is taken from Report for August.
in round numbers,) il is reasonable to suppose
that n reduction could be made with greater
propriety where in proportion the revenue is
the largest, of course the object is an increase
OF receipts by the inducement held out to the
pupHc 10 travel more frequently-a policy which
our Northern railroad companies long since
adopted with success. 1t is true very little is
received on the Washington branch for freight,
yet, taking into view the enormous expenditures
for repairs, cutting off curves, machinery, Sc,
on the main stem, | question whether the diff
ference is great in the total receipts and
expenditures of the two as to justify reduced
rate of fare in the one and not in the other.
hope we shall soon learn that the Board Of
Directors have reduced the fare on the Wash
ington branch of their road to correspond with
the change In the main route, which is about
three cents per mile, so that we may be ena-
bled to travel to and fro for $l.20 and, further,
that they will authorize the issuing Of round
trip tickets, good for twenty-four hours, at
about 81 80, which would accommodate many
of both cities, who would frequently make ex-
cursions or visits to the two places.

TRAVEL BETWEEN WASHINGTON

Reduction Of Fare demanded.

1t is our purpose to present statement Of
facts in relation to this subject that will no
doubt arouse the attention of the public to il
| in such manner as to induce them to demand
the accommodations of this railroad upon terms
at least approximating to the low charges upon
the other railroad routes Of the United States
but we shall to-day content ourselves with
placing before our readers couple of the COM
municati0ns that have been addressed to US by
some of our fellow citizens.

10 The Editors Of the american Tetegraph.
. GENTLEMEN: The Board of Directors of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, at a
meeting held few days since, reduced the pas
senger fare between Baltimore and Cumberland
to 80, but left untouched the exorbitant rate
on the branch between this city and Baltimore
Would not similar reduction operate benefi-
cially upon the Washington branch? believe
it would. 1t would insure an increased amount
of travel without doubt; for many who are now
.debarred of the privilege Of visiting Baltimore
would then 60 Gf the fare were reduced, say
to 81 each way) for the sake of the trip. II is
objected that the State imposes a tax of fifty
cents upon each passenger. Suppose it does
SoAAA Aoo oiic SothPahy iCPay themselves tnlS
sum and make fair dividend out of the pro-
posed rate. This would leave them one-half,
which, upon Northern roads, would be consi-
dered heavy charge for SO short distance.
1t appears to me that the company evinced
rather paltry spirit in their last reduction
They first reduced the fare to SLIGO, when
finding that they had, by this timely stroke of
policy, driven off the competition which their
high charges had provoked, they Immediately
raised it to as high sum as they dared do
without again incurring the risk of competi-
ton. Perhaps if some enterprisng capitalist
would establish line of stage coaches between
the two cities, the Railroad company, from a
spirit of competition which would be thereby
engendered, would still further reduce the rate
of fare. observe that correspondent of
your paper brought this matter to the notice of
the public few days since, and desire to
keep it before them, that the Washington branch
Of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company
stands almost solitary and alone in this era Of
low charges '.a NJ
