It was learned yesterday that ap?

Corporation Commission for perm is- j
slon to increase the fare between this

way ami Electric Company and

noon, as the time, and the office ul
the commission at Richmond as the
place, for a conference at which all
parties Interested in this matter will
be glveu a hearing.
When asked for a statement lust
night, Mar W. W. S. Butler, who as
general manager of the Newport
News and Old Point Railway and
Eleatrie"Oompnuy has charge of both
of two lines ueiwccn ncrc ami
Hampton, Mr. Butler admitted that
the application had -been made, but
, said that he did not care to further
discuss the action at this time. It
was mklnight wheu Mr. Hutler return
ed from Buckroe Beach and be did
not then have time to prepare a
statement to Ix- given to th.- public
in regard to such an important mat?
ter. He will, however, give out a
statement today.
History of the Fare.
For years, from the time the*, line
was JjiifH between the city and Hamp?
ton until about seven years ago.
the fare from her.- to Hampton wts
ten cents. When the Hampton Roads
Railway and Electric Compsny began
operating, however, a rate fight was
and the rate dropited to five
cents, at which figure it nas remained.
It is >now projioscd t-j make th'
rate from here to Riverview five cents,
and to charge another fare of live
crnts from Riverview to Hampton.
The fare from Hampton to Old Point
will remain unchanged.

main offices of the elctric companies
are located, has he.-,, officially netill
ed of the application, and it is un?
derstood that the mayors of this city

The obji-ct of the Cor|?oratlon Com?
mission is to give the municipal gov?
