TRENTON. oct. 29.-Tne siLua-
ton respecting the zone fare system
OF the lines of the Public Service Rail
way Company in the many municIpah-
ties throughout the Staye L serves
was as much up in the air. today as
ever it was, following he action of
the company yesterday in advising
the Board of Public Utility Commits
sioners hat it would not accept the
recommendation of q zone rate of 5
cents for the first two miles, a cent a
mile thereafter and a cent for each
transfer. The Utility Board viii not
make any announcement upon the
next step or upon the request of the
company for a return to the fat rate
of z cents with a penny for a trans
fer until there has been a conference
of the entire board.
The decision of b company was
heard here yesterday by Commission
ers SIoeum, Wright and Knight. Com
missioners March and Gaul were sit.
ting at Newark.
In making known it's desire to re.
turn to a fat rate of Z cents, counse
for the Public Service, L.. II. d. Gil
mour made il plain that the company
did not consider that an adequate
rate, but would be willing to abide by

&eLLICAl VI ~ HApPtA ~ 0RCA mil NA-
Utility Board is expected to fix a def
mite rate. The spectre of a ten cent
fare is now stalking very apparently
through the situation and proceedings
of the trolley question.
One member of the Utility Board,
Andrew J. Gaul, Jr, of Bergen COun-
ty, is committed to the fiat rate Of I
cents and the cent for q transfer,
which the company now wants tenn
porarily. Mr.. Gaul filed a dissenting
opinion to this effect when the Com
mission last week decided on a five
cent initial zone fare charge.
"A practical failure" is the descrip-
ton given of the zone system in the
statement presented to the Commits
sion yesterday. signed by President
Thomas n. McCarter, of the company.
About a week and a half ago he told
the commission, when it took up his
first request, along with Camden's, for
the abolition Of the system, that the
principle of zones ought to be saved,
il possible, especially since revenue on
the Public Service lines had been
picking up to the extent of $4,000 a
day. The next move is up to the
Utility Board.

to offer their opinions as to the best
solution to the over-crowding of the
public schools. President of the

airs.

the greatest congestion exists. Mr..

propositions. One calling for a four

dition. Whether to add the new addi-
/ tons to the present high school build
