pauy TO restore the five-cent fare
An action TO restore the fare is also pend

developed AT the hearing at White Plains
yesterday that when the New Haven

Mamaroneck but did not buy the short

mile down the Boston Post Road. This
section the New Haven representatives per
mitted the Third Avenue interests TO bid

II now appears that the franchise for
Section 3 was the one which called for the
ive-cent fare to White Plains. and as soon
as il was cut OF the main part OF the road
the New Haven company. through its new
100000 operating company. the West
chester Street Railway Company Jumped
the fare up 10 10 cents. Those who refused
TO pay were put off the cars
IN the mean while the Third Avenue com
pany tried 10 get out OF its bargain by
making an application 10 Justice Keogh TO
ret aside the referees sale, but Justice
Keogh was unwilling to interfere. and
suggested that the lawyers Of the two COM
panies get together with Referee II. r.

So far. however, they have not done So
and Justice Keogh has confirmed the re-
port OF the referee.
