Commission Visits charleston.


The railroad commissioners OF this
State held public hearing at Charles
ton, at the Chamber of Commerce of
the Consolidated Company's petition
for increased rates on the navy yard
line. the company taking the position
that improvements in the service this
year justified the higher charges
necessary to yield fair profit on
operations. Incidentally. a discussion
OF the shuttle train situation was held
Navy yard employees, through rep
resentatives, appeared at the hearing
to protest against increased fare. de-
claring that the service now rendered
did not justify higher fare any more
than the service previous to improve
ments did, although II was admitted
that improvements had been made.
Should the shuttle train be discon-
tinued. 1t was declared by the en-
ployees. additional traffic would prove
too much for the trolley facilities.
