INVESTIGATIONS

WHrK RiyKH JUNCTION. VT, Aug IA.
In the matter Of the petition of the eiti
xeBs of Braitie boro and Bellows Falls, VT
against the Vermont Valley and Sullivan
County railroad companies, in complaint OF
excessive passenger rates on the Vernon,
Valley railroad, between Bra,tlebor and
Bellows Falls. and on all the roads operated
by both of said companies in the State OF
Vermont. between Brattieboro and Windsor
the railroad commissioners report;
The Vermont Valley Railroad Co, ha,
been able to pay operating expenses and a
dividend to stockholders of per cent
on capital stock 100000, several years
past, and has made reduction twice. The
local public by using mileage tickets for
1000 miles, cents per mile, and round trip
tickets, good from any station at 5 ceuts per
mile, giving the public excellent train
al vantagss
The reduction in the local rates asked
for in the case was To l-2 cent per mile,
went into effect. and was highly commented
upon by the petitioners at the hearing. The
amount received by the said company in
dividends and rates leaves but a very small
sum to meet any emergency. The income Of
the said road from all sources ouli be suf.
ticient to give the stockholders adequate re-
turn for the capital invested. A reduction
of the earnings of the road would reduce the
operating expenses which would result in the
withdrawal of vast properly and couse-
quent loss to the public. II might also
require the withdrawal of the presen,
cheap trip tickets which would advance
fares. The board was unable to find local
rate unmeasured and hence cannot recon-.
mend the reduction which the petition of the
company asks. The board recommends that
the road make its mileage tickets good to the
bearer to extend the time in which the round
trip tickets may be used.
