Complaints by the scort were voiced
by llders at the various raihead stations
today as a result of the general increase
In the cost of traveling which went Into
effect at midnight.
At Broad street station most of the
patrons stood three deep around the
ticket agent windows for several hours
While they understand the new order
governing the sale of tickets generally,
they voiced their diapproval of the or
der which makes mileage books bought
before today void
Many riders pointed out that when
a traveler bought a mileage book he
entered Into a contract with the Gov
ernment for a ride of one thousand
miles They contend that It was de
cidedly unfair for the Government to
step In when a book was partly used
and declare that It was Invalid after
a certain date. The fact that the rail
road companies redeemed many books
at two and a quaiter and two and a
half cents a mile brought llUIe solace to
those who had bought them
Mileage books were sold at the flat
rale of three centu a mile. This Increases
their cost from $22 SO to J SO. Commuta
tion tickets of all' kinds were advanced
10 per cent.
