ALMOST AS MUCH FARE
FOR A SLOWER TRIP.

ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. 15.-To
the great disappointment of persons
who were looking forward to cheap
fares over the new electric line of the
West Jersey & Seashore Railroad,
the Pennsylvania railroad has IN
nounced that there will be but 25
cents reduction in the fare over the
new line between Camden and Attain
tic City, and back, from the present
rate on the steam road.
When 1t is considered that 1t takes
a half hour longer by the electric line
than by the steam road, the fare Is,
in fact, instead of being cheaper by
the new road, more expensive.
The rate of fare over the new line,
which will be opened to the public
next Tuesday, is, according to an Of
fetal statement issued by the Penn
sylvania railroad, to be 81. SO to At
lantic City and return, the one-way
rate to be 81. Express trains are to
be run hourly from 7 I'm. until IL
pm.
The new tariff is not what the peo.
pie who spend much time in goirg te
and from Atlantic City as we,a a,
those living along the line expected
As soon as it vas announced THAT al
electric line was to be built JAIL o
these people looked forward to
great reduction in the cost OF trave
in that direction.
