ONE cEsr a m.La RAJ. ROAD FARE.


The N. Y. State Engineer and Surveyor,
McAlpine, in his report to the Legislature Of
New York. in 1852, says -:
IAN important fact is also established,
which up to this time had been doubted by
most men conyersant with railroad transports,
which is. that passengers can be transported
at an expense Of less than Que cent per mile
This result is obtained as rule, when the
average loads are 90 passengers each mile
run."
1t is stated that since the reduction Of the
fare to Albany. on the Harlem Road, the re-
ceipts for the through business has increased
so per cent. This is another practicable
demonstration Of what has been so often as
serted and proven, that low fares almost 10
yariably bring an increase ofrevenue. Many
railroad companies low charging exhorbitant
rates, and doing little more than paying cur
rent expenses. We have not doubt would as
tonish themselves 80 the increase of their re-
ceipts If they wer&to evince little more OF
