NEW YORK. Sept. 30.-The Transit

The plan provides for the unifcation

are to be acquired by the city at an ac-
tUal valuation to be fixed by the com
mission, which would eliminate water
of every description in present valuations

will not authorize an increase in fares
for temporary relief. and that the present
rate of five cents shall remain until the
commissions reorganization plan has
been in effect for one year. After that
the commissions plan is such that the
fare will fix itself automatically. and the
commission expresses confidence that nc
increase will be necessary.
