morning in the rooms OF the upstate
Public Service Commission in the Metro

the Long Island Railroad for permission
to increase its rates for mileage books

This is the first application TO be
heard since the Court OF Appeals de-
cided the commission has power to raise
mileage 20 rates. The hearing will
be awaited with interest by railroads

TO making similar applications. Com
muters living On Long Island have au-
thorized associations to which they be-
long to oppose the increase.
