Assistant Attorney General For Kansas
City. Mexico & orient Ry. Co., Geo. h.
Black.
OPINION AND ORDER
BY THE COMMISSION;
The application of the Kansas City,
Mexico & Orient Railway Company was
heard by the Commission.
The expenditures and passenger earn
ings of the applicant were thoroughly
Investigated. 1t appears from the uncon-
tradlc.ed evidence that the receipts OF
the applicant for passenger fares at two
cents per mile are not sufficient for the
proper maintenance OF the road-bcd and
to pay operating expenses and interest
on the Investment.
|. is shown from the evidence that for
tn, year ending June CO. 1909 it operated
it's road at loss. Under the Constltu-
ton It becomes the duty of the Commits
| sion when railroad makes "a showing
tina it IL not earning sufficient amour,
TO pay for the service performed at two
cents per mile. to relieve the company
from the operation of that provision.
1t appears from the evidence hat the
Kansas City Mexico & Orient Railway
Company. by it's showing in this case
has brought itself within the provision
or the Constitution emitting It to ex-
Eemp:ion from the operation of the two
cent fare law.
! II Is, therefore. ordered that the Kan
sas city Mexico & Orient Railway Com
pany be exempted from the operation Of
the provision of tho Constitution, rcauii-
| ing it to charge ;wo cents per mile for
passenger fare, and that 1t be permitted
to charge a maximum fare rate of thret
cents per mile over its line Of railroad
in the state Of Oklahoma until further
ordered by the Commission.
This order shall be in force ON and af-
.er April 6. 1910.
