The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
announces that 1t will sell school tickets, |
46 rides, between Mount Holly and Med !
ford, for $S57. The company was asked |
to do this some time ago, but replied that
1t would not be possible as the road did |
not pay and a reduced rate would not be |
given. This Information was given to
the Public Utilities Commission, and It |
was shown that there was discrimination
In the matter In favor of Haddonfield. |
Whether this had anything to do with the
present action Is not known, but there |
does not appear to be any evidence that
the road is paying any better now than
when the first application was made.
