President Berri of the Bridge Trustees made an
interesting statement yesterday, embodying his
ideas on the reduction OF Bridge fares. Mr.. Berri
has frequently said that he is opposed to sys-
tenn of tolls which enables n person to save money
on his tickets by buying them in large numbers.
IF the railroads." he said yesterday, have the
privilege of crossing the Bridge, there will be
much trouble and confusion without an even rate
of fare The fare will probably be two cents.
in favor Of a reduction. and would like to It
one cent. and even nothing. in accordance with my
idea of free Bridge. At the present time, how
ever, favor a two-cent fare as do several Of the
other trustees" T.
Action which the Bridge Trustees will soon take
beyond a doubt will doubtless interfere with the
progress of Assembyman Brennan's bill which
provides that twelve tickets shall be sold for 70
cents

sary to call upon the justice at mid

with great difficulty his servant was
induced to awaken him. "If l did not

down tho stairs in his pyjnmas, rubbing
his sleepy eyes. lIo was not enthusiasts

very polite. AS soon rs the visitor had
explained his crrand the Justice led the
way to his library. There he got down
on his knees and rummagcd about
through some dusty old papers in the
bottom of Il bookcase for tho desired
document. In Il quarter of an hour he
found it, and he was very glad ho had
been able to do so, though not half sc
