COMMUTERS NOT TO LOSE UNDER TICKET RULINGS uost of Tickets For Fractions of February Will Be. Prorated Commuters of the Central Penn sylvania territory, as well as those of all other districts, will be protect ed from finanblal 'loss through the change of the sale of commuters' tickets from a thirty-day to a month ly basis uixjer provisions contained In a supplementary announcement is sued by the Federal Railroad Admin istration, officals at Washington • aid late yesterday. At first it was thought that when s ie new method went into effect on February 1 some commuters whose tickets expire at times than the first of the month would liav3 suffered financial loss because they would have been, obliged to purchase tickets which would have been good only until the end of February, rather than for the thirty days for which they have ordinarily been good.' The Administration announcement says, among other tilings: "In districts where commutation travel is heavy, conductors have very little opportunity to scrutinize tick ets. When the tickets are limited to thirty days from date of sale, each individual ticket must be examined. If limited to the calendar month, the month for which they are issued stands out boldly and is easily dis cerned without close inspection, t'ommmer. Protected "In order to deal fairly with com muters and make for as little friction as possible in the transition from the use oi the old styles of fifty-four trip and sixty-trip monthly commu tation tickets to • a calendar-month basis, the Railroad Administraiton lias instructed all railroads that they , may sell to commuters who have pur chased tickets during the month of January expiring during the month of February other tickets for the re mainder of the month of February for a sufficient number of rides to equal two trips per day at the same rate per ride as the original ticket." It was stated that the monthly tickets will be placed on sale four days before the beginning of the • month for which they are issued, in order to enable the commuters to ob tain them in advance. The new sys >tem, it was pointed out, while being entirely fair to the commuter who gives the conductor a ticket every day, will have a very great advan tage to the railroads, not only in sim plifying accounting, but in collect ing tickets. Commission Has No Information The order of the United States Railway Administration to the effect that commutation tickets hereafter must be sold for the calendar month only has not yet reached the Public Service Commission here. The Pub lic Service Commission in 1914 Issued an order whereby these tickets could be sold for thirty days at any time in the month, and this order is still In effect. Under the law, this order could not be changed in less than three years. That period has ex pired. In the past the Federal Railway Administration in establishing new ; rate tariffs (and the sale of commu tation tickets comes under such tar iffs) has asked the Commission for approval, and this haa been granted.
