PROPOSED REDUCTION OF BRIDGE FARES.
SHOULD MORE PEOPLE RE DRAWN TO THE AL
READY ovERCROwDED BRIDGE
RAILROAD CARS7

,s rronossd deduction OF fare on the Bridge
ears to two cents is something OF surprise COM
ing so directly after the change by which TWO
tickets are sold for five cents. 1t Is expected that
.h,s change will cause a considerable falling Off
IN tho Bridge receipts-a reduction estimated by
President Howell at $4,000 a year-as II Is con-
.,dered probable that the saving or one cent on
round trip will not increase the patronage OF the
railroad to any appreciate extent inc reoncooh
NJ fare TO two certs would. however. undoubtedly
have an Immediate effect in increasing Bridge
travel and II Is a serious question In many minds
whether anything should be done In that direcuoh
as long as the present CROWDS are 30 poorly
handled. II is notorious fact that the business
of the Bridge railroad has already exceeded the
facilities for carrying passengers. and 1t would seem
,o he unvise 10 multiply the number OF people TO
be transported until the capacity OF the Bridge Is
materially enlarged
On general principles. of course. no one would
object to reduction OF fare even II II Is only half
a cent, and IT is unauestionably true that the
shortness Of the haul on the Bridge. as compared
with the elevated and surface roads OF both New
York and Brooklyn would Justify low rate
of fare as two cents. Another comparison. how
ever. is In point. Suppose the elevated railway
fare to three cents two cents cent: would
the travelling public generally regard such step
TO their full capacity: would It be wise thing to
increase the number OF people using them to an
The same questions apply to the Bridge, railway.
The fares are now adjusted at a reasonable figure.
Bridge travellers approve the recent practical re-
duction from three cents to two cents and a half
They do not demand any further reduction
pecially as II Is certain TO be followed by an in
crease IN the number OF passengers, and an agra
walton OF the crowding which during the busiest
hours already verges ON the point beyond which II
would be intolerable IL II felt that instead OF re-
ducing fares the Bridge Trustees should devote all
their energies TO the solution Of the question OF en-
iarging the carving capacity OF the railroad The
need OF doing this has been apparent almost from
the day the railroad was opened: and II is more
than six years since the practical consideration Of
the problem was taken UP. The results are yet In
the futufe-how near future is matter OF pure
guesswork.
The argument that the fares on the Bridge should
East River ferries has little force 1t either proves
too much or too little. II u Is "a valid argument
AZ all II follows that the Bridge should cut Its
fares 10 one during those hours when the fare
