surveys was taken up. A civic sur

dertaks such a survey. and Somer-
vile accepted the offer. ;
Three months were given Mrs. Sum-
mers to make the plans. 1t was do
cided in the SURVEY TO make housing
and population census Of the city Of
Somorville. and It was considered that
the best way to list the resources was
to divide the city into districts. somer-
vile was divided int It's districts.

ILLINOIS RATES ORDERED UP.
Interstate Commerce Commission
aHOrders Intrastats increase.

Washington. Nov. 27.-Declaring
that there are no conditions within
Illinois iustffying the maintenance OF
lower ihtrastate passenger fares than
interstate rates, the interstate COM
merce commission yesterday ordered
lIthe railroads in Illinois, ON or before
Jans10. 1921, to bring up the level af
;intrastate. charges to the interstate
charges. The commission followed
the precedent established in the New
' York passenger fare case, which was
decided Nov. Is. I
The order also directs, the railroads
to put in force the SO per cent sur
charge on space in Pullman cars
which was authorized by the COM
mission in the recent advanced rate
case.
Under the order the railroads on
five days notice will increase the~Il-
linois intrastate passenger fares.
which are now on the basis of cents
per mile, to SO cents per mile, or All
electric lines is included in the find
ings.
The decision does not affect the IL
linois intrastate freight rate. case,
which is still pending before the
commission, but there is little doubt
that the same principles will be ap-
piled to that case.
! Commissioners Eastman dissented,
as he did in the New York case.
The order sets aside the law en-
acted by the Illinois legislature in
1907 making it unlawful to charge
over 2 cents per mile for adults and
l cent per mile for children. The
public utilities commission Of Illinois
on Aug. 10, 1920, declined to grant
the railroads permission in increase
| intrastate fares 20 per cent. The
| railroads applied to the United States
district court for an Injunction
against enforcement of the cent
fare law, and this was granted,
| thereby keeping in effect the 3 cent
fare established by the director gen
! eral. This brought the case before
the interstate commerce commission.
IF the present intrastate rates are
continued for one year and there is
the same intrastate passenger travel
as in the calendar year 1919, the loss
| to the carriers would approximate
Is7000,000, and if the 2 cent intra-
state fare should become effective the
loss would be $15,O0O,OOo," said the
| commission which added:
1T is common practice for tray
elers to buy their tickets to the state
line, leave the train, Immediately buy
ticket thence to destination, and
then resume their Journey on tho
same train"
