PENNSY OBJECTS
To COMMUNICATION
RATES ORDERED
Says Public Utility Board Has
Exceeded Its Power by
New Rule.

Arguing that the Public Utility Com
mission was exceeding its authority in
ordering that Communication tickets be
sold to Hoboken, Jersey City and Cam
den, H. w. Bike. second general So
Hcitor of the Pennsylvania railroad,
presented a long brief to the commits
sioners at their meeting at the Court
House today.
At the present time communication
rates to Jersey City and Hoboken are
the same as to New York. while Cam
den takes the Philadelphia rate.
In his brief Mr.. Bike says the COM
mission is trying to put into effect by
pretext of discrimination rates not JUS
tilted by the act creating the COM
mission. He claims the commission
has endeavored to put into effect com
mutation rates to cities to which they
have not heretofore been In existence,
He further claims the commission
has ne right to make new. rates, but
only to regulate existing ones.
The matter will be considered by the
board later.
