ANOTHER FARE BOOST
Unless You Purchase Tickets it Will
Cost More to go to Washington

Many Alexandrians who had failed
to purchase their tickets for trans
porta ton on the Washington-Virglnla
Railway today were compelled to pay
five cents additional car fare.
a recent ruling Of the company put
On the additional five cents on fares
under thirty cents and ten cents on
fares more than thirty-one cents when
the ticket is not purchased at the
company's office. This, therefore,
means that those who fail to pur-
chase tickets for the single. fare will
have to pay twenty-four cent m
stead of nineteen cents hereafter.
