Missouri Passenger Rates Increased for War Costs
Missouri passengers face higher rates starting the year, with 2 1/2 cents per mile, and mileage books at 2 1/4 cents. The hike, granted by the Missouri Public Service Commission, offsets added war expenses and raises annual railroad revenue by about $2,000,000. Quincy to Missouri routes are exempt from the change.
