mand because of the report that the
rates were to be lacked a quarter of
a cent beginning yesterday 1t is
understood that scalpers all over the
State have been laying in a big supply.
The present ruling is not announced
as an increase in transportation rates,
but is a withdrawal of the one thous-
and mile books. which were purchas-
ed at two cents per mile and the sale
instead of the five hundred mile books
at the rate of two cents and quarter
per mile. which have been sold for
several months at this same rate. The
public who have been travelling on
tickets bought from station to sta
ton are not effected, as the ticket rate
remains the same. Commercial sales
men and others who have occasion to
travel more frequently and who have
been using the 1000 books at two cents
will find the "cost of living" incrcas-
ed to two and a quarter cents a mile
a rise of 1212 per cent.

over $1,000 worth of mileages this
month and over $22O0 worth in the
