CHANGE OF FARES WESTERLY DIVISION The Store Line Electric, Railway Company announces that a new tariff filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission will become cffggtive ‘on Wednesday, October 23rd, 1918, With certain exceptions the new rates are based on a charge of five cents for a ride in a single zone, seven cents for a ride through or in two zones and three cents per zone for a ride in or through three or more zones. This is the same basis upon which the fares have been charged for some lines of the Shore L System with the exception of the Norwich-Westerly and ~ Westerly- Groton Lines and it is upon these lat- ter lines of the system that the rates now. become effective. For a ride between Westerly and | Brook 8t, Noank, the charge will be 34 cents in either direction, between Westerly and Groton 52 cents, and be- tween Westerly and New London the charge will be 56 cents, These are | the exceptions mentioned above. The I new rates aré exclusive of the WAR TAX which will be collected in the same manner and on the same basis as in the past. The TRANSFER PRIVILEGES in Westerly remain unchanged. In Nor- |wich a five cent fare will be col- lected between Silk Mill and Franklin Square and passenger will be en- titled to Norwich local transfer. When traveling in the reverse di- rection, Norwich local transfer will be gocd for a ride to the Silk Mil. At New London a special form of transfer will be sold for seven cerits entitling passenger to ride from New London to Phelps and for nine cents entitling passenger to ride from New London to Poquonnoc Siding on the Groton-Westerly Line. The same rates apply when traveling in ' the opposite direction. 2 COMMUTATION TICKETS will be handled as at present and a mi mum of three PUPILS' TICKETS will ke accepted for a ride within one zone. All other collections of pupils! tickets wiil be half the adult fare and where a fraction of a cent isinvolved, the next highest whole number of tickets will be taken up. The need for the increase is too well known to require any comment. The increased cost of everything en- tering into the transportation serve ice has been so great that many roads are involved in senous financial dif- ficulties and the delay in applying the new rate on the particular rates af- fected has been due to the fact that the Interstate Commerce Commission has been swamped with applications for increased rates, all of which had to be acted upon in their turn. | AMERICAN HOUSE | Firsteclass Garage Service Connected D.
