The officials of the Hudson and Man
haitian Railroad are at work on the system
Of tickets bv which the new seven cent
fares and the five cent fares will be diff
ferentiated when the increased fare goes
into effect on the uptown line of the
Hudson tubes on December -. Th" plan
has not been worked out yet finally and
several systems are under consideration.
However. II is likely that the scheme as
finally adopted will run very closely along
these lines
There are to be three tickets. one marked
seven conts. one marked five cents and
one marked two cents There is no in
crease Of fare on the downtown line run
ming from the Hudson Terminal al Cort-
landt street to Jersey City. the Erie station
and Hoboken. 40 those taking the tube in
either direction on this line are not affected
by the change of fare and still will drop
their usual tickets in the box as they enter
the tube. just as they have been accus-
toned 70 do.
Those taking the tubc from any of the
Jersey stations for the uptown line TO
Manhattan. however. will buy a seven
cent ticket This will be punched by the
ticket chopper as the passenger enters
the tube instead Of the tickets being do
posted in the box. as in the case Of the
five cent tickets This leaves the pas
sencer with the ticket in his possession
a he comes 10 the station on the Man
haitian side of tho river and he will deposit
the ticket in hox as he leaves the tube
The same arrangement will hold for pas
senccrs travelling from uptown stations
in Manhattan to Jersey
one of the details which is yet - be
determined upon is the ne'h1d of check

letter from Howard Marshall. president
ot the Commuters League Of New Jersey,
saving that while the commuters aNe"fed
will regret the necessity ior the increase"
yet Mir Marshall believes they will
! recognize the Justice and propriety of
! the same" Mr. Marshall continues that
he has made an analysis Of the entire
situation and tha, he IL convinced that the
proposed increase is entirely justified
and that tho case Is entirely different
/ from that of the steam railroads, against
whose increases in rates 'he Commuters
League has protested
Nr Marshall says that the policy of
the McAdoo Company and lis attitude 10
tho ruhhc has been uniformly correct
and that II is therefore all the more de-
slrabie that IN case Ike IN" present
"roCognition Of any Just position taken
