time that the New York Pres undertook It's reformation
Allow me state what = considered 1ons me ie %

The Contrary does not give 20 lie way travel any sae

travel from Delaware than necessary II weis Tor ue
Al almost every station and IFS running uine hay ever
eTrsf3s twenty miles hour, and Is in some cases 10
NOR than twelve 10 fifteen miles an hour between stations
Now do contend that people living within my mics o
New York the line Of such road are entitled 90 oe.ss
treatment than this Ii il all nonsense 10 "a! u Won Poy
How docs the COmI any know won't pay Ihey nave
neverfary tried H. Two years agother tram alvsa
in New ork at half past g. for shoT; Tune II Wl men as
Ie train on the road and why has ever been altered
nohodv knows Il j. a vital mistake for such COMPANY
20 necc 10 5rd ~ its way travel That not liable to
be taken from it by competition, on, oy Profe'
ruent would pay better than any other travel
This Comranv has recently raised is fares on the way
travel enormously; in some cases twenty hVe PEI cen
Sound policy and desire TO build mp towns am ~ a.
advance and this late advance particularly oDhoAous
because il is advance on an advance. FORMER! c,h
slant travellers had the privilege Of buying ueAslI "
whoesae-slO SIS worth at time-ai cost Of ao1
half the regular fare the il done on the TO ds
esdnc oui Of Boston but that privilege has been aSen
aWav and for a number Of years back say two or three
We have had 10 pay full fare Frequent application has
been made for Communication scale similar 10 the Ne"
jersey roads II has been promised again ana AGAIN ana
we are now answered by having the fare raised TO rom
two and half 10 three cents per mile This Company has
now leased the Paterson and Ramapo Road, al heavy
rental ard the consequence i thai west OF e
fare have been raised-and the ACCOMMODATION aimn'
isLed.
We have to complain again that alterations in the run
nre time Of the road are too frequently and arorary
maSe-and that no notice of intention 70 alter the time
is er,r piven-the first know Of an alteration in the
time table H. when il has gone into effect and we stand IN
platform hour too early or too late for the new ar
Nv personal experience may show the injustice Of the
management | bought property when the way train ar
rived in NewYoFk at % NJ II stopped almost al my
door and returned from Jersey City al 7 III the fare
WIS 20 rer cent less than il now il. and communication
rate was promi.ed NY business in the City requires my
attention for about bank hour so that was wen situated
1t was not long however a new time table was -
sued ard bv the train that stopped so handy could
not reach NewYork till p. 1t is worse since Oct 80
Consequently | have 10 hitch up horse and drive SIX
mills M the road to come down in the night express which
gets into New York three hours ahead 81 the way
train # on time My horse must be put up all day az an
e1rense Of three shiDgs and at night must trot back
AGAIN with ne When the night express train is on time
this array cement is bad enough but when as for the last
two months il has been two hours behind time, you
NAV ina CINE my troubles.
Now Sir what the people want who live along the line
of the New York and Ere Road far west as Middle
town and what they should have, both because II Is
1:sf G.. 81 fl. "A
train arriving in New York 81 A VI. and returning at
T. NJ the year round regular fare about cents pei
mile and a Wholesale way Of paying one fare.
Are these demands unjust and if not viii you not helF
ms get them Yours ORASGE COUNTY.
