Railroads Increase Hammond To Chicago Ticket Rates.

Railroads running between Hammond and Chicago have increased the price of tickets to 50 cents each way to take effect Nov. Ist. In other words the commutation rate of 50 cents for the round trip will cease ,on the first of November. Many Rensselaer people traveling between >ere and Chicago have saved 40 .cents on the .round trip by buying j*a .round trip ticket to Hammond for $2.10 and then one of the 50 i cent round trip tickets between Hammond and Chicago. This can nbt be done, however, after Nov ; Ist, -and the rate of $1.50 each way will i prevail. The Hammond Times suggests that the way to heat the new tariff agreement of the railroads for the next six months or a year is to lay in a supply of tickets before Nov. Ist. The ten ride tickets are good for a year.
