way, New York, ~ Y
My dear Judge Doremus:-I wish
to thank you for your kind letter of
the I'd, with enclosure.
This is certainly a strange answer
for a corporation like the Public
Service Corporation of New Jersey
to make to lot of its patrons. SO
far as the shelter is concerned, the
people of Fort Lee care nothing for
it, and I believe it would be better
to do away with the present apology
for shelter than to have the abuses
continue that exist there. However,
such an answer is beyond my com
prehension, and no corporation doing
public business would dare to make
such an answer if they did not feel
secure in their position through some
other source than the laws standing
on the statute books.
Such condition is not only a dis
grace to the laws of New Jersey, but
to the men that back such a corpora
tion in such a position
I presume you have forwarded this
communication to the authorities of
the Borough Of Fort Lee
With kind regards and thanks for
your attention to this matter, am,

Dear Sir:-Your favor of August

tanned by Public Service Railway
Company at what is known as the
Palisade Junction, near Fort Lee, has
been duly received at this office. Re
plying thereto I desire to say that
when this subject was brought to our
attention some time ago careful in
vestigation was made of the complaint
and Our findings did not sustain the
contentious.
1t seems to me that if the existence
of this waiting room or station is as
Objectionable to patrons of the line
and residents of that particular sec
ton as indicated in your communica-
ton, the alternative would be to re-
move it entirely from the premises,
reasonable proposition provided the
convenience it affords for shelter from
storms is overshadowed by the CON
ditions it is alleged exist there in its
use We know of no laws requirino
street railway companies to install
and maintain waiting stations, and we
are thankful that we are legatees of
so few of them. and no doubt would
be better off without any: and if it is
the desire of the Borough Council of
Fort Lee to have this one in question
removed, and will so advise us, we
will see that it is promptly done.
