At one time the system Of Offering

been reduced considerably. but the
wastage in human material caused by
that war raised the bounty again, and
from Is pounds to 16 pounds was a
common price right up to Waterloo

The stress of the Crimean campaign

MUST keep UP THE SERVICE.
Railroad Must Do Business Until It Sur
renders Charter and State Ac-
cepts the Same

The Public Service Commission in
an opinion handed down to-day praetic
ally decided that railroad is bound to
furnish reasonably adequate service on
its line until such time as the duty i'm
posed upon il by its charter shall have
been surrendered and the surrender ac-
eepted by the Commonwealth. Daniel
:. Brandt and other residents of East
Berlin complained to the Commission
that the East Berlin Railroad Company
refused to furnish to the public either
freight or passenger service over its
line, which extends from East Berlin
to Berlin Junction in Adams county.
At the hearing before the Commits.
sion it developed that this railroad be-
gan operation in 1876. and continued
until September 9, 1914, when re.
eeiver who had been appointed bv the
Court of Common Pleas Of Adams coun.
ty, sold the franchise TO William G.
Lsas. There was no dispute between the
parties as to the fact that the operation
has been financial failure. and the
respondent eontended that for this req,
son the company had a right to cease
exercising the franchises conferred upon
it by the State.
The Commission points out that the
granting of the charter to the company
ald not give to it mere license which
IT can surrender without the consent of
the state. When railroad charter is
granted, the company secures the rirat
to construct the line mentioned in the
and when il has exercised that
right 1t enters into contract with the
State TO operate the line until such time
as the State has authorized it to discon-
tanue the operation. 1t is true that the
State may look upon a non-user as a
forfeiture of the rights granted and pro.
eeed to declare the franchise null and
void, but until such action is taken. the
company is bound TO perform the serv
Ice which it undertook when il con.
its line under the powers Civ.
en- 1t by its charter. In other words
until either the State has forfeited thu
charter, or the company has surrender
ed the same, the contract between the
State and the company must be carried
out according to its terms.
The order of the Commission is tba+
the East Berlin Railroad Company
shall, on or before February 1, 1915,
resume service over its line. until such
time as it shall be relieved from that
duty in accordance with the laws OF
this State.
