Hills exceeds a combination of the
locals on Huron by approximately 40
per cent. For example, the local rate
from Pierre to Huron is SO, and the
local rate from Huron to the Twin
Cities is $9.68, and the only way to
secure the lower rate is to purchase
locally to Huron and then rebuy for
Minnesota points. The matter has
been taken up with the Interstate
Commerce commission with a view of
having a proper adjustment made in
the fares, and until this is done the
only way for the public to get the
benefit is by purchasing the local
tickets to Huron and then secure
their through tickets.
