.PAL|SADE TO GET
NO AID ON FARE
Continued from Page l.

lee Mr. Kelly in Il letter to Mr..
Wakelee recalled the conferences, in
which both had part, that resulted
in the adoption of Communication rates
on the Fort Lee ferry boats. He asked
the senator to meet a committee of
he thought the suggestion was a good
one, and the meeting at Mr.. Schalfs
office followed. The committee rep
resenting the Palisades in addition to
Mr. Kelly, included John Purdon, Ar
thur w. Tams, John H. BVdshaw,
f. White, Harry d. Schall and w. r.
Goodman.
Mr. Wakelee made an explanation
of the need of the Public Service Cor
poration for more revenue, the trial
of the seven cent fare, and return of
the six cents and finally the reStOra-
ton of the seven cent charge. These
rates proving unsatisfactory, and not
bringing in sufficient revenue to en-
able the company to pay dividends, it
was decided to give the zone system
a trial. This system as it is to be
established differs from that adopted
anywhere in the world.
There was no attempt on the part
of the Palisadians to question the
necessity of greater revenue or the
fairness of the zone system. Their
entire plea rested on what they be-
lieved to be unjust discrimination
against them. They argued it did not
cost the company any more to haul
PaliSadian up the hill or carry him
down than it did to haul or carry pas
sengers up or down when they We're
going longer distances. They thought
it would be simple matter to ar
range for the sale of tickets to peo-
pie in the neighborhoOd on basis
that would give them the same rate
that is to be given to others.
To all this Mr.. Wakelee replied that
the zone system was based on the
idea that short rides would he encour-
aged-that passengers would ride in
at least parts of two zones and thus
pay five cents for their rides. He drew
attention to the fact that no paSsen-
gers would be taken on between the
ferry and the Junction for instance,
while in the cities, particularly, one
passenger getting off would be re-
placed by another, and that the ten
dency would be to keep the cars full.
When attention was called to the
fact that the Weehawken hill was
probably just as expensive to build
and that only three cents was to be
charged in that zone, he replied that
conditions of transfers at the top of
the hill and the competition of jitneys
made it advisable to adopt the lower
rate there. He insisted that no other
zone on the Public Service system was
in the same situation as the one in
Palisade. He offered, if the people
insisted, to recommend the fiat rate of
five cents for the Weehawken hill,
but no one was in favor of that. Mr..
Wakelee said that while he would not
recommend n concession, the people of
PaliSade had their remedy and could
appeal to the State Utilities Commits
sion. If that commission granted the
plea the company would carry it out.
The conference lasted for several
hours, and was marked by the utmost
good feeling Whether any further
steps will be taken by the PaliSadians
has not been determined.
