B. 80. WILL INCREASE
COMMUTAT|ON RATES
Yearly Tickets to Be Abolished as
Being Unfair to Gen
eral Public.

Increased communication rates into and
out of Washington are to be charged by
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, accord
ing to an official statement of the road
made public today The Pennsylvania
railroad increased tariffs have just been
made public by the interstate commerce
commission. Pointing out that the present
rates were based on charges for greatly
inferior service forty years ago, the Bal
timore and Ohio officials explain that
faster schedules have been maintained
and better equipment put into service.
The abolishment of the 1S0-trip and 100
trip communication tickets which may be
used at any time within a year is to be
provided for in the tariffs, according to
the Baltimore and Ohio officials.
Similar raises in communication rates also
are to be made in the territory con-
t;guous to Baltimore and Philadelphia,
and already protests against the new
rates have been filed by associations in
the vicinity of Philadelphia
Say Tickets Unfair.
The reason given by the railroads for
doing away with the yearly tickets is
that they are, in effect, discriminatory,
because the occasional traveller should not
be entitled to a reduction in rates simply
because he has the ready cash with which
to buy a greater number of tickets at
one time The railroad holds that this
form of tickets is becoming obsolete from
year to year. and that on account of troll
ley lines. good roads, etc, few of them
are still sold.
One of the arguments used by the rail-
roads to support the proposed advance is
that the commuter rates by the steam
lines have been lower than the trolleys
in many communities, both as to dis
tances and the charge for service per-
formed.
