(815 ILCS 415/5) (from Ch. 114, par. 109)
Sec. 5.
That it shall be the duty of the owner or owners of railroad or
steamboat, by their agents or managers, to provide for the redemption of
the whole, or any parts or coupons of any ticket or tickets, as they may
have sold, as the purchaser, for any reason, has not used, and does not
desire to use, at a rate which shall be equal to the difference between the
price paid for the whole ticket and the cost of a ticket between the points
for which the proportion of said ticket was actually used; and the sale by
any person of the unused portion of any ticket otherwise than by the
presentation of the same for redemption, as provided for in this section,
shall be deemed to be a violation of the provisions of this act, and shall
be punished as is hereinbefore provided: Provided, that this act shall not
prohibit any person who has purchased a ticket from any agent authorized by
this act, with the bona fide intention of traveling upon the same, from
selling any part of the same to any other person.
