TEN.CENT FARE LEGAL
Appellate Division sustains the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit Company.

The Appellate Division Of the Supreme Court
In Brooklyn has decided in a test case sub
mitted that the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Com
pany has a legal rlghtSo charge a ten-cent fare
TO Coney Island. The case was that Of Arthur
Barnett. who got a judgment for se5 against the
company for being elected from a car after
refusing to pay an extra five cents. Justice
Hirschberg writes the decision and his asso-
rich. who was absent. The decision, which Ia
quite voluminous. sustalns these points:
First-That the Brooklyn Heights Company
legally leased the Sea Beach Railroad.
Second-That this lease carries with 1t the
right TO charge an extra ~hve-cent fare.
Third That the Sea Beach road received Its
charter before the One Fare law was passed.
Foarfh-That the Gne-Fare law did not refer
to roads with a steam railroad franchise.
In closing Justice Hirschberg says;
From the statute. and decisions cited II
wopld seem, evident that tho defendant Is en-
titled 70 make the charge complained Of unless
prohibited by the fact that Il operates a street
road. As section i0i OF tho Railroad law does
not apply to the latter road the Ave ,ent fare

The Application of former Senator MoNulty
