UNIFORM CENTRAL RATES
Road Proposes 2 1-@ Cent Mileage
ON RiUer Division.

Albany. Dec. 1.-THE New York Central d
Hudson River Railroad Company proposes 10
establish a uniform rate of two and nan cents
a mile on its Hudson River Division according
Va y statement made to-day by representatives
of the companv TO the Public Service Commits
sion in the ID District. The companys repre-
sentatives were here in response 10 an order
issued bv the commission to show cause why
one-way passenger fares between Bunalo ana
New York should not be placed on uni1orhi
basis of two cents mile and why all such
charges in excess of two cents mile should NOT
be abolished
The explanation made by the company ofnclals
was that the various inconsistencies complained
% had grown I'D through many years and that
the road could net afford to make further re-
duction owing 10 the narrow margin which they
asserted now existed between profit and loss IN
the passenger department. Particular stress
was laid by Ira A Place, vice-president OF tine
New York Central in charge of the law depart
ment as to the legal right of the road to charge
more than two cents a mile for through pas
sengers and three cents mile on the Hudson
River division.
G f DaIv vice-presdent in charge of the
passenger de erc-tment. said that the Central had
at the present time new tariff, which was
haine nrinted. raising the rates the Hudson
River Division to 2la cents a mile. MIR. Daily
said that this tariff would soon be put into ef-
feet but questioned by Chairman Stevens. he
admitted that il had not as yet been authorized
nv the board of directors and might be subject
TO notifications. Mr.. DAILY further stated that
the Central would willingly abolish mileage
books were it not for the competition of other
roads The company is to give the commission
information bearing the actual cost of its
passenger service.
The commission announced that in connection
with its investigation as to the cause of delays
in passenger service on various railroads IN the
state orders had been served on the Lehigh VAL
ley and the New York Central & Hudson River
Railroad companies as to the movement of GER
tain trains In the case of the Central trains
on the Rome, Watertown & Ogdensburg Division
are involved.
