HIGH RAILROAD RATES.

To EDrroR THE HERALD:-
am astonished that people should submit TO the
high rates of fare the Northern Railroad Of New
Jersey. 1t seems to that If the residents along
the road would only refuse to come to the city on
that road and take the Midland. If it is little
more trouble. they would have to cut down their
fares. Just think of $40 month to Englewood
while the Midland only charges IS. There are great
many business who deferred from going
along that road to live by the nigh rates.
