Will Sell 60 Ride Communication
Tickets for SO, Begin
ming Jan. |, 1911

Reduced fares on the lines Of the
Los Angeles-Pacific railway, to be-
come effective on or about January 1,
1911, were made known yesterday in
letter signed by D. W. Pontius, traffic
manager of the company, which was
filed with the board of public utilities.
The new order provides for the issu-
ance and sale of sixty-ride individual
Communication tickets for SO, good for
ninety days; thirty-ride family COM
mutation tickets for $40, good for
ninety days, and forty-ride school
Communication tickets for S1.50, limited
to the school term, for use between Los
Angeles and Gardner junction on the
Hollywood line and Highland avenue
on the Colegrove line.
The tickets will be honored between
the points named via any route.
Transfers will be issued to cars of the
company's line in Los Angeles, Holly
wood and Colegrove.
On the same date the sc fare will
be extended from Arlington street to
Vineyard on the Sixteenth street line.
In regard to the proposal to esrab-
lish a fiat rate fare of 5 cents between
Los Angeles and Hollywood and Los
Angeles and Colegrove, General Man
ager Sherman by letter Informed the
board of public utilities that the time
had not arrived when the company
felt that d sufficient return from its
investment would accrue from a scent
fare.
The letter says in part:
Desiring in so far as we consistently
can to promote q good understanding
and friendly feeling between the resi-"
dents of the Hollywood and ColeSroVe
sections and our company an investi-
cation has been made Of the effect
upon our revenue of the single trip
scent fare that has been requested,
and we regret that we cannot profit
ably carry on our business under that
rate with conditions as they are, rs the
bulk of our business would be carried
on under a rate yielding us only from
p to q of a cent per mile. The coun-
try between is not yet thickly popu-
lated, and we have no compromising
short hauls, as in the case of city rail-
ways, to make up losses on the longer
hauls.
Annexation may become very wide
spread, consolidation of city and cOun-
ty government being even now con-
templated, and obviously the inter-
urban electric railway lines could not
make effective a rate Of cents within
such possibly enlarged limits and con-
tinue in business.
"In the character of our reconstruct
ton work on the line to Hollywood,
and in the Improvement of our service
to follow, we are trying to show the
spirit of friendly cooperation with
the residents of that section, and hope
that our side of the question may be
considered by our Hollywood friends"

the development of the bust and form
