.CARFARES MUST Be REDUCED.
No Extra Charge After County
Towns Are Annexed.
Steam Railroad Rates to Coney
Island May BE Cut.

1t was the general opinion among law
yers seen by an Evening World" re-
porter In Brooklyn to-day that the troll
side the present city limits will have to
reduce fares when all the county towns
become a part of Brooklyn.
There are several roads now running
through the newly annexed districts
which, under their charters charge pas
sengers five cents extra after they pass
the city line.
All of these roads escape an immediate
reduction in the present fares by reason
Of the annexation laws. which do not
join New Utrecht to the city until July.
The roads running through Flatlands
have until 1895 to settle the question.
Railr >ad officials were inclined TODAY
to believe that In the end the fares would
be reduced. Henry W.. Slocum. son OF
the late Gen. Slocum. said:
"A potion Of our road, the Coney ISL
and and Brooklyn, runs to The Park
plaza, and at that point we have another
we run through New Utrecht. Even
after July 1t Is a question whether we
can be compelled to reduce the fare, as

Daniel F. Lewis, President OF the
Brooklyn City road. said
Two Of our lines. the Third avenue
and the Ninth avenue. charge 10 cents.
but as they run through New Utrecht
and Flatlands. the question cannot be
decided until those towns are annexed"
He was inclined to believe, however.
that there. would be general reduction
by all roads now charging extra fares.
1t Is also expected the 25-cent excur-
sion fare. charged by the steam roads to
Coney Island. will be reduced.
