Philadelphia, has filed with the Pub
lic Service Commission a complaint
against the Philadelphia and Reading
Railway Company alleging that there
is discrimination both in regard to
the service and the rates against the
Fern Rock passengers on the Third and
Berks street line. The complaint al
leges that the railroad company, since
the discontinuance of the fifty-trip
tickets on the Third and Berks street
line, issue a sixty-trip monthly ticket.
There is but one train from Fern Rock
daily to the terminal on which such
a sixty-trip monthly ticket can be used
and the complaint says that inasmuch
as the other lines of this road afford
adequate service and reasonable rates,
the branch complained of should be
put on the same basis by compelling
the company to offer either an extra
train at evening to enable the public
to make use of such a sixty-trip ticket
or to put into effect a practical rate for
the morning train.

REVENUE BILLS WILL
BE SEVERELY CUT
[Continued from hirst Page.]
was imperative to secure another mil
lion for the schools in order to care
for the vocational education division
which will carry out provisions of his
child labor bill. It was suggested that
this-' money could be secured by pass
ing the bill to make the counties pay
for the expenses of primaries, whicb
has passed the Senate. Primaries cost
$980.n00 the last two years. This
would about furnish the million It is
estimated.
To Cut Road Bill
It is probable that the highway bill,
carrying $8,500,000 will be cut down
to about $6,000,000, the revenue from
automobile licenses being included.
The cost of the Highway department
administration for two years is esti
mated at $907,000. which is in the gen
eral appropriation bill and a separate
item. To the six million it is be
lieved that revenue raisers must be
passed. The men in charge of appro
priations are not counting in the in
come from anthracite tax. They think
litigation will tie it up for two years
at least.
It is believed the automobile license
bill will pass and thus care for main
tenance charges. Half a million will
go t J township highways.
County Care of Insane
Considerable time was spent dis
cussing the situation in regard to the
insane. The Governor took up this
matter with the State Board of Public
Charities last week and is interested
In getting the excess insane taken
care of. After the conference Chair
man Woodward said: "If the situa
tion is as bad as represented, it is up
to the counties to provide for the in
sane. The State allows $2 per capita
per week fo rthe maintenance and I j
think the counties should provide
quarters. The counties could help
amazingly by giving accommodations
while the State is building and the
time when the State will take care of
all the insane will be brought, nearer.
The State pays $2.50 toward mainten
ance of insane in State institutions
and $2 in county institutions. If the
situation is alarming the counties will
have to help. There is no more money
in sight unless we pass some revenue
raisers."
The question of the Delaware river
improvement appropriation will be
taken up with Senator Vare. A mil
lion is asked.
Practical Pensions
Chairman Woodward to-day sent a
letter to all o fthe members of the
House asking them to support the
Ramsey bill placing care of children
under a pension system to be directed
by the. courts. The bill was defeated
but reconsidered. It was drafted by
Judge Isaac Johnson, of Media, and
provides that judges may order that
children he placed under care of their
parents at the expense of the county.
Mr. Woodward says that this bill
would afford a way of making prac
tical pensions for mothers and that it
would relieve the State Treasury.
The mothers' pension bill carrying
over three-quarters of a million dol-1
lars is now in the Senate approprla-j
tions committee, having passed the
House.
No Appointments

Employes Must Refrain From
Leaving Trains Until Latter
Stops; Warn Passengers
Something new in a safety first rule
has been posted by the Pennsylvania
railroad. Passenger trainmen In the
future must remain on cars until the
train comes to a full stop. There must
be no jumping off trains at stations
while they are in motion.
For a long time it has been the cus
tom for trainmen to open the vesti
bule platforms and when a train
reaches a station to jump off. Passen
gers anxious to reach their home or
hotel frequently follow the trainmen
and Jump off before the train stops.
Accidents have happened as a result.
The new order insists that vesti
bules be kept closed until the trains
come to a full stop. In the new or
der passengers are also requested to
remain in the cars until the train
stops, and to refrain from crowding
platforms.
