Charge for Baby Carriages
Baggage agents of the Pennsyl
vaim and Philadelphia and Read
ing Railroads in Bloomsburg have
been notified that hereafter they
will be required to collect for every
baoy carriage the price of fifty
pounds of excess baggage, with a
minimum charge of twenty-five
cents.
Until the issue of the aforemen
tioned order it was customary for
both the Reading and Pennsylva
nia to haul coaches free of charge,
checking them as baggage. Heavy
travel has caused the baggage cars
to become overcrowded and the
practice to be abused. The joint
order will result in the collection of
excess baggage fees for every coach
carried. Officials say the idea is
not to make the charge a source of
revenue so much as to prevent large
numbers crowdine the cars and
hampering the employes.
