the residents in the immediate of their stations who in most cases are daily riders of suburban trains All changes in names of sub- urban stations during the past few years have been initiated by the residents in the immediate vicinity of the stations The change cf the Belmont station to Beverly St was made upon petition and so far as Mr man can learn those who signed the petition are residents who regularly use the station Before giving con- sideration to your proposition I feel that it would be advisable to de- the sentiment of those living in the immediate vicinity of St as it our desire to please our As to changing the name of mond station to Morgan St I suggest that you present a from the residents living in Thg Rock Island lines are willing to waive any tions from their own standpoint to meet the wishes of local ties Mr Gorman further informed the rate of fare be- tween Chicago and Raymond station that the rate on the 10 ride ticket is on an extremely low basis in fact all suburban rates are too low in cago in many cases than sub- urban rates in other large cities The 10 ride ticket between Chicago and Raymond is only a the 25 ride ticket per ride the 54 ride monthly ride ticket lie per ride and the GO ride only per ride I feel confident your tion will agree that these rates are extremely low considering the pre- sent high cost of operation An Oakland
