While the density of passenger travel
upon this line is greater than on many
other lines in the State, and while we
believe on account of its large inter-
state earnings that ii is in position to
continue TO maintain its present two
cent rate without undue hardships we
sun beIieve that, taking all the circum-
stances into consideration, two and one
half cents per mile per passenger is a
fair rate for the service rendered The
fact that it has a good location is well
organized. has conducted its affairs
with economy and Skill and has builr
up a prosperous business, is to its
credit, and its stockholders are entitled
10 all fair profits and benefits arising
from their investment. 1t is the duty
or the company TO serve the public
properly and at reaSOna BILE and lust
ates, and there is a reciprocal duty on
the part OF the public to pay reasonable
prices for the services rendered. While
We cannot accede to the company's con-
tention that il should have three cents
per mile per passenger as its maximum
p PASS ger rate We think that 1T is en-
titled 10 the same rate which has been
permitted to the other standard rail

allowing this road to charge more. a nd
think that there is no sufficient reason
for requiring it to charge less.
Commuters Not Affected.
The company now has on sale mile
age books at two cents per mile, corre-
spending with those of other standard
roads, and has for a long time main
tanned a large number OF very cheaD
communication rates. The average rate
at which these Communication tickets are
sold is seven-tenths of a cent per mile
The average rate Of all Virginia busI-
ness is 1.59 cents per mile, while such
average on interstate PASSENGER bust
ness is 2.33 cents per mile. Thesa cbeap
