To the people of wildwood.
North wildwood and Wild
wood Crest:

The Five Mile Beach Electric Rail-
way Company finds that 1t is impos-
sible for 1t to continue to maintain sat-
isfactory service without an increase In
it's rate of fare. Since July, 1918, a six
cent fare has been in force, although
this fare has not been sufficient to meet
the increased costs of operation. While
everything which enters into the cost
of service has increased from so to 100
per cent, up to this time there has only
been an increase of 20 per cent in the
rate of fare. The general use Of the
automobile has seriously affected street
railway travel, with the result that the
number of passengers carried on our
railway in 1919 was 125 900 less than in
1918. The situation which confronts
all street railways is particularly serious
in its effect upon those which operate
at resorts, where the travel is very light
except during a small portion OF the
year.. The full seriousness OF the stu
aLlOu is 5uOWA Wy tAC ioSs h"t -
lantic City Railway is in the hands OF

has lust authorized a ten-cent rate OF
fare on the Ocean City Railway, which
Is being operated under municipal
guarantees in order to make service pos
sible. The Asbury Park & Long
Branch Railway has made application
to the Utility Commission for approval
Of an eight.cent fare.
The Five Mile Beach Electric Rail-
way Company has applied to the Util-
ity Commission for permission to
charge q seven-cent fare upon its line.
which, in the judgment of its officers,
is the lowest possible fare which will
enable 1t to render satisfactory service.
In making this application u COM

of the travelling public and of all those
who are interested 10 the development
of the Five Mile Beach.
