Historical information

Set of four documents regarding the issue of a Scholar's Concession Ticket to Barbara Talbot, a student at the Star of the Sea who turned 18 years of age during the currency of the ticket. It was marked not available after that date and had been returned to the Elwood office. The Memo from the "Auditor of Receipts" requested that an additional payment be collected from the student. Mr Gleeson, Tramway Inspected advised that ticket was not used after the lady's birthday and had been returned. See item 7807 for a set of unused tickets.

Significance

Demonstrates a scholar's concession ticket, the charge made, some confusion over the fare actually collected and the minutia that the VR Ticketing systems monitored.

Physical description

Memorandum - administrative record, typed or handwritten on VR headed paper, card ticket part used and a form completed in ink.
