TEN-CENT FARE UPHELD.
Flushing Association Loses Fight
against Brooklyn Heights Road.

Taking as its basis for action an opinion rendered
by Commissioner Bassett. who held hearings ana

yesterday dismissed the complaint of the Flushing
Association against the Brooklyn Heights Railroad
Company that -he Decent fare charged from Man

Decent fare was held by the commission TO Re
legal and reasonable Commissioner Bessett found
that at that rate the company was not making
money.
This action was taken as torecasting similar &C
ton regarding the complaints about lo-cent fares

would have authority to institute proceedings on
its own account Unofficial intimation was gwen
that the Flushing case should not be accepted as
any precedent for the Coney Island cases The

have 1o-,ent fare reduced is still pending Com
missioner Bassett has charge Of the case
The decision in the Flushing case was unanimous
The Flushing Association cuntended that second
fare collected between Ridgewood and Flushing was
in violation Of the terms of the companys charter
and was discrimination, because some passengers
passing Cedar Grove Cemetery eastbound or Mas
1etb depot westbound did not pay second rare
