The Public Utilities Commission last
week ruled that the railroads could
not charge three cents a mile for rail
road fare for passengers who boarded
the train without a ticket. They ruled
that the railroad company could col
lect ten cents over and above the two
cent fare as a penalty where passen-
ger could have purchased a ticket be-
fore boarding the train. On condi-
ton, however, that the conductor OF
a auditor collecting the fare should
give a receipt to the party paying
same which would be redeemable
when presented at any ticket office Of
the company. The Iron Mountain
and other roads have been charging
three cents for all fares paid on the
train since the two cent law went in
to effect.
