exact 10 cent fare depends upon the construction

Brooklyn Heights company OF the Third-ave. line
Of the Brooklyn City Railroad within the old town
Of New-Utrecht and the Sea Beach Railroad. The
latter road acquired IN 1894 and wes changed
from steam 10 a trolley road.

that the Brooklyn Heights Railroad Company

to take tolls by leasing and operating any part OF

In reply Professor Collin for the Brooklyn Heights
company said.
The Railroad Law cited does not apply 10 fare
