PUBLIC SERVICE
DECIDING CASES
Opinions and Orders Made in
Several Important Complaints
Throughout State
The Public Service Commission has
issued an order to the effect that the
Uelaware, Lackawanna and Western
Railroad Company establish a passen
ger fare of 5 cents each way between
Taylor and Scranton and provide ade-

quate facilities, which means the in
stallation of two day coaches In addi
tion to the smoking car on the train
leaving Kingston at 7.10 In the morn
ing for Scranton and New York for
the accommodation of passengers de
siring to travel from Taylor to Scran
ton.
The complaint was brought by Go
mer Jones and the testimony showed
that the fare had been 5 cents, but
had been advanced to 10 cents.
The Norwich Telephone Company,
of McKean county, complained of the
terms of a new contract Imposed by
the Bell company. Under a former
contract the Bell furnished the central
station, or exchange service, etc., to
the Norwich company for $3 a year
per subscriber, and to cover the cost
of collection allowed the Norwich com
pany 15 per cent, of all charges col
lected by It for toll messages origl-
nating on the lines of the Norwich
company.
The new contract provides for a
payment of $5 instead of S8 and
makes no provision for the Norwich
to receive any allowance for its serv
ices in guaranteeing and collecting tho
toll charges.
In the matter of the complaint of
Frank D. Gchr as to rates, service and
facilities of the Cambria Incline plane
Company, which operates from a point
in the city of Johnstown up to a point
in the borough of Westmont, the com
mission found that the principal in
crease in tolls on January I, 1914, re
sulted from the withdrawal of the
750-trip annual limited passenger ve
hicle ticket at S3O and $37.50 for
single and double vehicles, respective
ly, and the substituting therefor of
100-trip tickets limited to three
months at $7.50 and $12.50. respect
ively. thereby increasing the charges
to those purchasing and using all of
such tickets by 185 to 250 per cent.
The respondent presented no evidence
justifying this increase and is directed
to furnish the commission with a de
tailed statement of its gross earnings,
HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
operating expenses and net earnings
from each class of tickets or cash
fares sold or collected by It. The com
pany must provide and put in place on
each trip heavy wheel blocks or chains
fastened to the floors of cars for hold
ing vehicles firmly in one position dur
ing transit; post notices of the general
schedule or of principles followed in
determining the times of ' trips, of
maximum time between trips, of pre
cedents during rush hours; of foot
passengers over vehicles; of prece
dents of vehicles In case the driver of
one vehicle declines to occupy when
another vehicle will be thereon; of
specific hours that garbage wagons
are allowed the use of the plane, and
revise its schedule of rates for limited
vehicle tickets.
The commission directed a cer
tificate of public convenience to be
issued approving the contracts of
abandonment between the Phoenlx
ville, Valley Forge and Strafford Klec
tric- Railway Company and the bor
ough of Phoenixvllle, township of
Schuylkill and township of Upper
Providence. The approval of these
contracts of abandonment will leave
the railway company in the position
of having no authorized extension for
which proper municipal consent has
not been secured. These contracts
were executed by the proper authori
ties of the municipalities concerned
and the commission states that in de
termining questions which affect the
interests of municipalities It gives
much weight to the conclusions
reached by their official representa
tives charged with the duty of pro
tecting these interests.
