In addition to various clauses emasculating the

"A railroad corporation and street railroad
corpora ton however, shall not be required to
establish through rates joint rates, fares or

This language, declared J. O. Hammt leg

applies directly to the Coney Island route part
of which is operated by what is technically
known as a railroad corporation and part by
what is technically known as d street railroad

commission would be prohibited from ordering
joint fare of five cents to Coney Island.
