MUST STAMP TICKETS.
New Plan For Licensing Ticket
Scalpers in New York

A bill to license ticket scalpers has
been introduced in the New York legis-
lature. 1t provides that all persons
who desire to traffic in railroad tickets
other than duly authorized agents of
railroads shall file a bond with the rail-
road commission. The bond is to be in
the sum of $4,000. and if the railroad
commission issues a license fee the cost
of same is placed at $500. All ticket
sellers, other than authorized agents of
railroads, must stamp their name and
address on all tickets thus sold. This is
designed to give the purchaser a cause
of action should such ticket not be as
represented.
