§ 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.
