REDUCTION OF FARES ON THE CENTRAL
PACIFIC-The Central Pacific Railroad Company
seems To he gradually reducing its fare from the
yerv high rate-10 cents mlle-which report has
said would be permanent we are glad TO see the
june 5:1The Central Pacific Railroad Company an
nouuced yesterday another important reduction of
fares on that road 1t is now evident that the prices
viii be arranged on such an equitable scale that the
public will have no ground OF complaint Moderate
fares are for the benefit OF the railroad company
and the public. According to the present tarih, the
rate per mile through to Promontory is six cents and
a fraction The reduction also to intermediate points
is reported to be SO per cent White Pine travellers
get an important reduction. The fare TO Elko is put
at s365 and the stage fare from that point TO White
Pine has for some time, we believe been as low as
sb by virtue of a strong competition. There will
probably be q uniform system OF pro rata charges
over both roads for take II for granted that the
Union will charge no more per mile than the Central
and in fact, that for all working purposes both
roads will be one II the rates OF the Central were
adopted on the other line the fare IRON sacramento to
Omaha would be about $780, but so near round $l00
that the excess would be likely to disappear soon.
