Railroad Fare
|
Six cents per mile is the regular fare on this road, and
all persons getting on the cars without tickets will be charged at
that rate. The duties of the Conductors are to look after the comfort
of passengers and the safety of trains, and not to collect fare.
|
Passengers who will comply with the rules of the Road and
purchase thickets can secure them at about FIVE CENTS PER MILE.
|
Soldiers traveling on Furlough will be charged only HALF
FARE, provided they procure tickets. This rule apllies to none but
privates and non-commissioned officers.
