BILE reduction in the fare for travelling over the
road The ticke, agents are now authorized
to sell the regular tickets at the reduced rate
of three cents, and roundtrps tickets at tbe
rate of two and one half cents per mile. The
reduction is of great benefit to our people
and the action eff the company in this rcsDect
can be applauded Business men who bavs r..
visit the city frequently can now % At q.
rominal cost. While those who 90 for pl.,,
use will be at some expense for car fare I'M.

an unreasonable burden as before WI,
the question of reduction Of fare was moo,.i
in the spring, and round trip tickets for oDs

expressed the opinion that the time wos -
short to allow persons to accomplish nnc,
good from the reduction, and am glad N.
company has come to the same coOclns;-
and made the reduction somewhat
with our notion.
