LAW THAT COMMUTERS OF NEW HAVEN ROAD
 HAVE RELIED UPON

It is granted, even by close critics of the New York, New Haven & Hart ford road, that it's average fares have been the lowest in the country. It adopted the 2-cents-a-mile rate volun- tarily and long ago. The recent raise in some charges touches the commut- CTS, many of whom ride for less than cost, but all of whom are prompt and ready kickers, not on this railroad only but wherever communication rates pre- vail. It has been said that the com muters on this road were protected against an increase by an old statute. The following is the significant part of the section. which was adopted in 1893:
 'No railroad company which has had a system of communication fares in force more than four years shall alter or abolish it. except for the regulation of the price charged for such commu- tatfon, and such price shall in no case be raised to an extent that shall alter the ratio as it existed on the first of July, 1865, between such communication and the rates then charged for way fares on the railroad of such com pany."
 This statute may explain the report that the company will make no ad- vance in commutation tickets between points inside Connecticut The more general advance of rates on the vari- ous branch lines will be deferred. it is said, until the tariffs are figured out and filed with the Inter-S State Com merce Commission. It is announced tinued on the lines of the road. and that the fifty-trip family tickets will be advanced 5 cents per trip or $250 for the whole ticket.

PUBLIC OPINION

Editor Brid geport Farmer:
 Sir-Much has been said lately pro and con concerning High school 'frats." I think the Farmer deserves a vote of thanks by the citizens of Bridgeport because of the manly and fearless attitude it has assumed upon this subject. Let me say that so much of this so-called lack of spirit among the fellows at B. H. S. is caus- ed by the rapid increase in these damnable snob breeding organizations.
 Respectfully,
