Then, continues Mi. l'alne, the law would allow them to thai fie .M cents a louiul tilp If the law would al low them such a chuige I think the law would compel them to put the load In much bettti condition than it has ever btcn In et. 1 think It would he a. good plan for Mr l'alne to chaige the full extent of the law 30 cents for tho lound trip and I think before ho got the wide the sstem in operation he would wish his turnpike was In Kentucky He ulo states that they only 1 lunge 10 cents, or ir cents if the tmevler makes change; ulso if a dol lai ticket Is put chased the bujer gets eight tiips for the dollar.
