NIXON INVESTIGATES
COMFY ISLAND FARE
Sees Merit in Harris's Conten-
fion for Cut.

Maxwell s. Harris, president OF the
Borough Park Heights Civic Association,
has presented to Commissioner Nixon
and Godfrey Goldmark. counsel of the
Public Service Commission, his interpre-
tation OF the rapid transit contract be-
tween the city and the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company, In accord with which,
he claims. five cent fare should be in
operation to Coney Island over the New
Utrecht or West End line.
THE point made by Mr.. Harris i'm.
pressed me and has impressed counsel
as one worthy OF serious investigation, "
said Commissioner Nixon yesterday.
This investigation Is now being made.
but at the present time our counsel is
not ready to give an opinion.
''If he finds that the point of Mr.. Har-
ris is we'll taken shall confer with the
company with reference to carrying out
the terms Of the contract Naturally be-
fore concluding this matter In my own
mind l shall hear the other side and
have asked counsel of the New York
Municipal Railway Corporation (the B.
r To to give their construction of the
particular paragraph under discussion.
when l first approached the subject
my impression was that the spirit OF the
contract was that when these three lines
were completed a five cent fare would
prevail. At present, II the contention
Of Mr. Harris should be sustained. we
are faced with lower fare on one al
ready heavily taxed line
The terms of the contract are some
what vague. leaving II a matter of In
depreciation as to whether the Ave cent
fare goes into effect on each line as it
is completed to Coney Island or only on
all when all are done. The three lines
that run out of the Fourth avenue sub
way are the New Utrecht line. the Sea
Beach line and the Culver line.
