Charce for Reduction Barred.

Pointing out how the arrangement

The dctriment OF the public, the petit
tion continues:
"Sjnce under the contract the rail-
road company receives for its coal at
the mines a percentage OF the price at
New York Harbor. which price is
largely determined by tho freight rate.
il follows that the higher the freight
ate from the mines to New York Har-
hor the higher the price received by the
railroad company at the mines and, on
the other hand as the freight rate de-
creases. such price decreases.
"Thc contract is thus not only bar
rier against any reduction in the rail-
road companys freight rates TO New

tions. but is an inducement to higher
rates regardless Of any change in the
cost or character of the service Ii is

Continuing, the petition says:
"Hy reason of the arrangements de-
scribed the support of the railroad

maintained an unlawful monopoly Of

Place Much More Attractive
than 1t was a Few
Years Ago.

Nyack. which has been for long time
one Of the most charming suburban places
in the metropolitan district. is much more
attractive TO the city man than it was
a few years ago Its future is indeed
roseate. When the line of the New York
& Northern Railroad is electrified from
its Jersey City terminal TO Nyack there
is not the slightest doubt that the i'm
proved train facilities will result in
great enhancement of values throughout
this beautiful Rockland County town, and
also in the wideawake villages bordering
Nyack and including South Nyack and
Upper Nyack and Central Nyack.

stone be laid by property owners as side-

prohibits this use of the stone, and also

To obtain uniformity in sidewalk build
ing the village regulations provide that
only concrete can be used. TINS ordI-

Nysck is probably the first Incorporated

considering spending considerably more
money for sidewalk improvements
