COMMUTERS LOOK TO STATE
New Jersey Association Wants
Local Board to Fix Local Rates.

Roy NJ Robinson secretary OF the New
Jersey State Commuters Association. SAID
yesterday that he could see no reason why
the New Jersey State Board OF Public Com
missloners should not take into their own
hands the fixing of local Communication
rates.
THE Interstate Commission has APP
proved such action by state boards, said
Mr. Robinson. land with three commissions
ers in New Jersey drawing $500 year, an
attorney receiving $3.50 a year and win
500 O0O appropriated for the expenses OF the
commission why have not the commuters
right TO look to the state board for re-
lief
"The Interstate Commerce Commission
decision makes no reference To the rates
between Jersey City or Hoboken and other
parts Of New Jersey only the fares be-
tween New York and those points are CRIT
icised. There are hundreds upon nun
dreds Of commuters who stop their journey
AT Jersey city or Hoboken and do not cross
the river. Why should they be compelled
to pay for transportation across the hudsoil
that they do not use?'
William L. Ransom. attorney Tor the New
Brunswick Board Of Trade ard its affiliated
commercial and commuters ORGANIZATIONS
! said YESTERDAY; , -.
''The commissions decision dsposes or
three contentious in the local transporta-
ton situation: % That a regulative COM
mission has no power over Communication
pas senger rates; (2l that Communication ser
vice is a charity. performed by the carriers
at a loss and 90 that A terminal charge,
like that claimed by the pennsylvania az
Jersey CITY may cover q multitude of sins.
The commissions decision is put explicitly
Oh the basis that the combination rates APP
proved by the commission allow the carriers
a fair and reasonable return upon all the
elements entering into the computation or
a proper transportation rate.
