Show I Fare Reckoned a New Way. Sir Rowland Hill's great discovery of the value of simplicity in vast undertakings undertak-ings seems to have produced little impression im-pression as yet upon those who have the management of our railways. In Paris the directors of the queer little line which runs right round the city Inside the fortifications, and forms a means of communication between all the great termini, have just made a considerable advance in the right direction. For tbe future the fares will be reckoned reck-oned by the number of stations one passes in traveling. For the first two stations tbe fare will be twopence; be-- be-- yond these it will be threepence. One bag only to remember that first class is just double the price of the ordinary or second class, and that return ticket are issued for a fare and a half, and one can by looking at a plan see at a glance what !, 1 one has to pay. Why not try some such i plan on the District railway in London. ! London News. . |
