COMMUTERS RAISE
HOWL OF PROTEST
| OVER HIGH RATES
L%ackawanna and Erie Travellers
Are Preparing to Fight linz
pending Increase.

General dissatisfaction among the
commuters has followed the announce
ment that the Communication rates IL
New York would be increased by the
railroad companies, and the commuters
along the Lackawanna, Erie and Jers
sey Central are combining in raising a
howl of protest. Real estate men and
boards of trades, realizing that in
crease in the rates will act detri-
mentally to their communities, are
Joining in the protest. Committees are
being talked of to interview the officials
of the railroad companies, and the
matter may be laid before the State
Railroad Commission.
I'm Montclair the Civic Association Is
taking the matter up and preparing to
fight the impending increase, as is be-
Ing lone by the commuters of Mt.
Vernon, n. Y. August F. Mack, chair
man of the transportation committee OF
the association, said that when the
Erie and L~ackawanna announced the
raise in rates hat Montclair would
take decisive action. He-has applied
to both railroads for information, but
all he has learned is that an ADJUST
n1ent of rates is being made.
The Erie enters Montclair over the
Greenwood Lake branch, which exists
Because the town of Montclair granted
$40, 900 subsidy towards its construc-
tion and is paying interest on out
standing bonds TO the value of S2o0,ooo.
The branch was built to obtain lower
Communication rates, as the Lackawanna
refused cheaper tickets than $12 a
month.
The town aided the road because Ii
was believed thai the high rates to
New York were keeping the town back.
Ali reductions in rates were promptly
met by the Lackawanna. An Increase
In the rates is now looked on as a
breach of faith and extortionate by the
people of Montclair
The move Is considered as grossly
Unfair in the Oranges, n civic bodies
are preparing to move at once in pro-
test.
The idea of the railway being gen
erous with it's employees in the matter
of salary. at the expense of commuters
OF the road does not appeal very ia
vorably to them.
There are forty monthly Communication
tickets sold between Harrison and New
York at a cost of $3.50 each and there
are almost as many ffty-trip tickets

ter tickets cost IS each n are mostly
used by business men of the Town who
have frequent occasion to go to the me-
tropolis. The other tickets are used by
those who work in New York and Ho-
