It would of course be simpler to have a uniform charge per mile and effect a division of receipts and expenditure in some proportion, but the heavier cost of construction on the British section justifies a higher mileage rate and fare. That this increased charge should be a matter for careful consideration. It is idle to suggest that the respective mileage rates on the two sections will be in ratio
