GIVEN RAIL ROADS
Rate Raise Amounts to About
81 ,5oO,oO0,OO0.
LEVY SHARED BY PASSENGERS
Largest Boost Ever Allowed Lines
and Is Expected to Enable Them

tional one-half of one per cent for i'm
proyement charges, making a total of
6 per cent provided by the transporta-
ton act. The roads will put the in
creased rates into effect by September
l, when the six months government
guarantee period expires.
I'm view of the existing situation"

by filing and posting in the manner
