ing OF the Danes, the conquest of the Nor
mans, the oppression of Eliza beth. the
invasion Of William of Orange all are
faithfully recorded down to the recent
problems Of Home Rule Irish Church dis

TO THE COMMUTERS

LONG ISLAND RAILROAD:
NO. l..
And Other Patrons of 4

Faith in the future OF Long Island the basis OF the
policy Of the Long Island Railroad Company This faith
is demonstrated by: ~ the development of plans for
pending nearly forty millions Of dollars upon extraordinary
Improvements, TO enable the road utilize expenditures
by allied corporations the additional amount OF
fifty million dollars and (2) the maintenance for many
years of its low passenger rates spite of loss and
non-paymen of dividends.
The Long Island Railroad Company is convinced that
the public will, when informed of the real conditions,
approve the policy Of the railroad The railroad has been
forced TO increase its passenger rates. because they
below the cost Of transportation During the last fiscal
year. the average earnings per passenger per mile amounted
10 LA cents while the average OF carrying each
passenger mile 548 cents and this loss each
passenger OF los per mile resulted in deficit OF
over S275 900. See Annual Report, 1904 PIP 10, 23)
This condition resulted from (a) the unique conditions
OF this railroad unlike those of any other railroad the
United States, having through business and only
short business season. and o. the
in Of operation, resulting from the great rise in he
OF fuel supplies, and labor particularly the last
(See Report, PIP. II, 259
Facing these facts, the Long Island Railroad has
acted the assumption that its patrons would prefer
pay somewhat higher rates order that the quality OF the
service may improved, rather than reduced and that
needed Improvements may not be delayed.
