Albany and Buffalo Railroad
Tohe Ed,tor 81 The Tribune:
see YOU have published in the Tribune an
article copied from another paper, statlng that on
and after the l5tn INST the fares on these roads
arc to be reduced and this statement Is made on
the authority of a series of resolutions recently
passed, and published by the Directors OF these
roads. There seems to be some Singularlty IN all
this that needs explanation. VIII you be sogood
as to refer to the resolutions Published IN your
paper and tell us this reduction really Intended
or whether the Directors have so worded their
resolutions as to convey the idea OF contemplated
reduction Of their fares, and at the same time
leaving for themselves room To act differently
whcn the time arrives. | am informed that there
Is no reduction to be made IN The fares OF any
of the trains until the canal is ready Tor use,
which will be the last OF next month, when the
Companies intend TO start an Emgrant Tram al
noon from each end of the road, and reduce their
fares ONLY on this tram to compete with the canal
boats.
The prsent high rates of fare are:
From Albany to Utica .............. S3 %
Utica to Syracuse. ...-............. , OO
Syracuse to Rochester. 49,. 4 %
q Rochester to Buffalo. } 90
Total SD 81
The distance between tho two places Is about
800 miles. and the fare about four cents q mile,
and this is to remain the rate of fare R0t,olfh
StaRding the impression the Resolutions Of Tie
Directors gre the public | think some ex-
PLANTATION OF all this is needed.
Yours, ALrAxY.
