Frcstonsburg, 35c.
These rates are from 50 TO 100
per cent higher than those named
by me officials OF the company be-
fore they secured the concessions
desired here.
ne editor OF the NEWS asked
Mr. Williamson, the Superintendent
In cnarge of this district. what the
rates would be from Louisa TO these
points and he said six-tents Of
cent per mile. We asked him wheth-
er the mileage TO Catlttsburg and
Ashland would be computed by way
OF Huntington and he said not; but
that ihe railroad mileage would be
the basis. This would make the
rate to Catlettsburg fifteen cents
and to Ashland eighteen cents
Mr. Williamson added that point
ina; figured out seventeen or eigh-
teen cents would probably be fixed
a. twenty cents. and other add
amounts would be made even in thai
