Philadelphia, Aug. L. Important
changes in passenger rates were an
nounced by Fourth wee President John
B. Thayer, ofAthe Pennsylvania rail-
road following a meeting of the board
Of directors of that corporation.
The company has decided to Fsducs
the maximum one-way fares from 315
and cents to 21s cents a mile. This
action will involve a readjustment Of
all through fares from the south, and
owing to the vast amount of work en-
tailed by reason of the change, the
new rate of fare will not become op-
erative for some time. probably No
vember 1. It is assumed that the COM
peting lines which reach New York by
way Of Cincinnati and Louisville will
meet the Pennsylvania Railroad COM
panyf's reduction by readjustment OF
fares, so that all southern passenger
traffic, whether by way of Washington,
Cincinnati or Louisville, will be on an
equal basis.
The company will also, on Septem-
Der l, place on sale 100O-mile tickets,
valid only on its lines east of Pitts
burg and Erie, at the nat price of $50.
These mileage tickets will be transfer
able. No change is to be made in the
price of the interchangeable mileage
tickets now sold by the company, which
are not transferable and upon which
a deposit of $40 above the regular
price is required. 1t is estimated that
81. 900 interchangeable mileage books
are presented daily on the various
roads, and of this number 65 per cent.
are used on the lines Of the Pennsyl-
vanla railroad.
