6 CENT FARE IN TUBE NOT
UNREASONABLE REGULATION

By The Asst eiated Press.
TRENTON, Sept. 11:-Extending
the time limit for redemption Of
refund checks from ten minutes to
1ne-half hour and r~eserving the
right to make any notifications In
details deemed to be advisable the
Board of Public Utility Commas
sioners has ruled that the collection
by the Hudson & Manhattan Rail-
road Company of an initial fare of
six cents for which a refund cheek
of one cen is given to passengers
travelling between stations in New
Jersey on the Hudson & Manhattan
railroad is not an unreasonable reg
ulation. Some regulation of this
kind that board held is necessary to
preserve the five cent fare and pre-
vent travel through the tubes TO
New York on it's payment.
AS the Interstate Commerce
Commission has fixed a six cent
fare to be charged between Jersey
City and Hoboken and New York,
Tor the company to permit through
travel at a lower rate. the board
pointed out, would be a violation of
the law.
The board dismissed the conten-
ton of Jersey City and Hoboken
that the interstate fare could be
protected by collecting one cent
from each of the passengers at
Cortlandt street, holding that but
six thousand to eight thousand per-
sons travel between stations in New
Jersey while some eighty-six thou
sand New Jersey citizens travel
through TO Cortlandt street daily.

HE WILL DO FOR So. AMDOY

By Special Correspondsut.
SOUTH AMBOY, Sept. Ire
preventative Thomas j. Scully. who
lis a candidate for the Office OF mayor
OF this city, has issued a character
istic interview to the EVENING
NEWS. giving his aims in seeking
the Office Of mayor. Mr.. Scully was
mayor Of the city before going to
congress ten years ago and during
his term Of Office the tax rate was
the lowest in the history OF South
Amboy. which makes the citizens
take his candidacy more seriously
in these days Of the high cost OF
running a city.
IF elected mayor" said Mr.. Scully.
ct will be my aim to put the % Boy
in South Amboy in capital letters. 10
put South Amboy more conspicuously
on the civic and industrial map: to
make the streets OF the city clean and
safe at all times of the day and
night"
He also outlined the other reforms:
To crank up the good town till 1t
gets a self starter in its industrial
machinery. To knock a prop from
under the high cost of living by re-
ducing the local tax rate. To de-
velop the industrial opportunities 30
that there may be good wages, work
and profits for all. To get Office
holders and citizens Of every political
faith to work together for the COM
mon good. To see that every public
servant of South Amboy does his or
her full duty and is adequately COM
pensated for so doing. To foster
and advance all public improvements,
to the end that the civic life OF the
community may be q~uickened and
frightened. To assist the Chamber
of Commerce in their fight for the
annexation project. In short to give
the best that / have of service and
influence, to the end that the old
home town may be all that we believe
it car be-a model city. beautifully
located. governed by the patriotic
sentiment of all its citizens.
