Section 98. Tariff schedules; publication

Every common carrier shall file
  with the commissioner and shall print and keep open to public inspection
  schedules showing the rates, fares and charges for the transportation of
  passengers and property within the state between  each  point  upon  its
  route  and  all  other  points  thereon; and between each point upon its
  route and all points upon every route leased, operated or controlled  by
  it;  and  between  each  point  on  its  route or upon any route leased,
  operated or controlled by it and all points upon the route of any  other
  common  carrier, whenever a through route and joint rate shall have been
  established or ordered between any two such points.  If  no  joint  rate
  over  a through route has been established, the several carriers in such
  through route shall file, print and keep open to public  inspection,  as
  aforesaid,  the  separately established rates, fares and charges applied
  to the through transportation. The schedules printed as aforesaid  shall
  plainly  state  the places between which property and passengers will be
  carried, and shall also contain  the  classification  of  passengers  or
  property in force, and shall also state separately all terminal charges,
  storage  charges,  icing  charges,  and  all  other  charges  which  the
  commissioner may require to be  stated,  all  privileges  or  facilities
  granted  or  allowed,  and any rules or regulations which may in anywise
  change, affect  or  determine  any  part,  or  the  aggregate  of,  such
  aforesaid rates, fares and charges, or the value of the service rendered
  to  the passenger, shipper or consignee. Such schedules shall be plainly
  printed in large type, and a copy thereof shall be kept  by  every  such
  carrier  readily  accessible  to  and  for  convenient inspection by the
  public in every station or office of such carrier  where  passengers  or
  property are respectively received for transportation, when such station
  or  office  is  in charge of an agent, and in every station or office of
  such carrier where  passenger  tickets  for  transportation  or  tickets
  covering sleeping or parlor car or other train accommodation are sold or
  bills  of lading or receipts for property are issued. All or any of such
  schedules kept as  aforesaid  shall  be  immediately  produced  by  such
  carrier  for  inspection upon the demand of any person. A notice printed
  in bold type and stating that such schedules are on file with the  agent
  and  open to inspection by any person and that the agent will assist any
  such person to determine from such schedules any transportation rates or
  fares or rules or regulations which are in force shall be kept posted by
  the carrier in two public and conspicuous places in every  such  station
  or  office.  The  form of every such schedule shall be prescribed by the
  commissioner and shall conform in the case of railroad company as nearly
  as may be to the form of schedule required by  the  interstate  commerce
  commission  under  the  act  of  congress  entitled  "An act to regulate
  commerce," approved February fourth, eighteen hundred  and  eighty-seven
  and   the   acts  amendatory  thereof  and  supplementary  thereto.  The
  commissioner shall have power, from time to time, in his discretion,  to
  determine  and  prescribe  by  order  such  changes  in the form of such
  schedules as may be found expedient, and to modify the  requirements  of
  this  section  in respect to publishing, posting and filing of schedules
  either in particular instances or by general order applicable to special
  or peculiar circumstances or conditions.
