Stop Ticket Rates for Inaugural Sparks Transport Reform
Commissioner West backs a proposed law to curb dishonest traffic on excursion tickets to Washington for the inauguration. The plan would make nontransferable contract tickets enforceable nationwide for large gatherings, aiming to lower rail fares and boost crowds. A similar injunction precedent from Justice Hagner guides the effort. The bill would amend an appropriation measure. Separate hearing on rebuilding the Potomac Park bridge draws two witnesses. one opponent withdraws later.
