Ell g ,enht-Cent Fare
May Go Into Effect
In Jersey Tuesday
Federal Court Decree Allow
ing Increase Probably viii
Be Signed Monday: Seek
to lmpound Added Profit

NEWARK, N. j., Oct Eight-cont
fares probably will go into effect on
Tuesday on all the trolley lines of the
Public Service Railway Company In
north New Jersey A. decree Of the
Federal Court allowing an advance Of
one cent in the present scven-cent rate
probably will be signed or dorday.
Attorney General McCran said Co
day he would appear before the Federal
court in Trenton on Monday TO argue
for the inclusion in the decree Of q
provision to require the company 20
impound the additional money received
from its patrons by reason OF the in
crease. Mr.. McCran will be heard when
the court takes up the question of
formally entering tho preliminary in
junction under which the company will
be permitted to increase fares.
Edward H. Hermann, counsel for
the Public Utility Commissioners, and
Frank II. Sommer and George L.
Record, representing Newark and Jer-
sey City respectively, will present
similar argument in behalf Of the
cities named. Upon being approved
the decree will be signed 1t is ex-
pectcd that the decree will provide
for immediate operation of the courts
ruling.
The next move, after the decree is
signed, will be an appeal by the Public
Utility Commission to the United
States Supreme Court for hearing or
the findings OF the lower court. K
this appeal does not in itself act as 81
stay, preventing the Scent fare from
being put into effect, the beard will
make such application as may be nee
essary to restrain the increase in rate,
Mr. Hermann said that the ground
for the appeal cannot be given out until
the form Of the decree becomes known.
Public Service Railway Company Off
cials have expressed their willingness
to accept the Scent fare ruling Of the
court and are ready to put it into eff
'ect This statement was issued to-
day by Thomas N. McC4rter, president
of the company:
"While the conditions imposed by
the Federal court in granting the tenn
porary injunction in the ra lway fare
osse will result in the Public Service
Railway Company charging lesser fare
than that to which it thinks it is en-
titled, nevertheless the railway com
pany will comply with it, because IL
can live under it during tho further
progress Of the litigation"

Cilroy Asks Low Fare
For School Children
Calls Boards Attention 10 Long
Distances Many Must Travel;
Suggests 2 or 3 Cents

Vincent Gilroy, coalition candidate
for President Of the Board of Alder
men, yesterday sent letter 70 the
Transit Commission suggesting that
provision be made in the COMMISSIONS 8
transit plan for low rate Of fare
two or three Cents-for sch oil children
who have to travel considerable dis
tances from their homes to the schools
Mr. Gilroy's letter follows:
~ understand that the plan you have
suggested for solving the citv's trac-
ii problem is to be subject to d g
Gus ION and that you, as the originatOrs
of that plan, are open to suggestions
for it's Improvement.
There is one matter in particular
which | wish to call to your attention.
There are hundreds of school children
IN the City of New York. as well as
those att nding the high schools, who
have to travel considerable d distances
from their homes to the schools Their
only method Of conveyance, of course.

OF these children come from the homes
OF poor people who are doing their ut

90 release it from the debt limit for
the building of additional subways and
other necessary municipal purposes.
1t may we'll be that any new invest
ment by the city should be given a
prior lien. This suggestion, together
with all others, will receive thorough
con ideration.'
Relief for the congested conditions
caused by the Intorborough shuttle,
which runs through Forty second Street
from Grand Central to Times Square,
is expected to result from an exten-
zion of the Queen boro subway from
Grand Central to Forty-frst Street aud
Eighth Avenue. The Transit Commis-
sion announced ye to-day that bids
for tho construction will be received on
9. E Inmates are that the
con etruction work will cost several
of dollars The plan calls
for two-track tunnel beginning at
level beneath tho existing shuttle tracks
near Vanderbilt Avenue, extending
west under Forty-second Street and
thence beneath Bryant Park to Eighth
Avenue. tt ousands of passengers who
row use the shuttle to roach the
Queen sboro subway will be able to ride
directly from points near Broadway
without changing cars.

Suggestions made by Samuel Unte~-
nlver in his criticism OF the Transit
Commissions plan for the reorganiza-
ton and unification Ct the city's trans
portation systems were answered yes
terday by Ceorga Nc sneny. chairman
of the commission. One of the cnief
objections raised by Mr.. Unternyer in
his address before the City Clnb
Thursday nirht was that. instead Of a
flexible fare. TIE rlan should prc~ide
for permanent hve-cent farc. with a
provision that the citv should make ~
any poss bIe dcficit that might art Sc
during the first years of the new oper-
alton.
Contending THAT this scheme had
heen considered hv tire cor mission le-
fore it announced its plrn Mr. McAneny
said it hid been found that the state
constitution would rrot ibit anv g. ch
arrangement. Any advance by the city,
ne said. would be i, the nature Of 81
loan. which is prohibited.
Cons! ruct've Criticism Welcomed
"Tho commission welcomes the con-
structive c'it;cism ana Suggestions of
the kind embodied in the address Of
NJ. Untermyer," said Mr. McAneny.
ost Of tie points made have already
been carefully considered by the COM
mission in connection with the preoa-
ration of its report Nevertheless,
eve~y NJ Mt that is seriously made, in
any discussion Of the plan, will be
carefully re-examined in the course OF
tn" pnoiic hearin"s.
"Referring to Mr.. Un+ermyer's basic
point as to whether the return uprn
the actual value of the transit prop
critics should DC guars rteed by the rate
Of fare based upon actuaI cost of serv-
ice rendered, or whether, in the al
formative, any possible defict should be
borne by the city through taxation it
may not be anliss t. point out at this
time thar, even if the latter proposal
we're economically sound and would
meet general approval, it would still
be open to serious constitutional objec-
ton.
"Section 10 Of Article VIII of the
Corst tuition provides:
no county, city, town or village
shall hereafter give any money or prop
crty, or loan its monev or credit tc or
in cid of. any individual, association
or corporation, or become, directly or
indirectly, Che owner OF stock in, Or
bonds Of any association or corpora
ton; nor shall any such county, city,
town or village be allowed to incur any
indebtedrees, except for county, city,
town or village purposes
"While provision fer transit is s.
city purpose. it seems clear that the
city is prohibited from guaranteeing =
interest upon the securities that the
proposed consolidated company would
issue in payment for the prop critics to
be acquired.
City Could Not Hold Bonds
''Tncidenta' 'ly, this same provision
would prohibit the city from taking or
holding bonds of the Consolidated com
pany as representing It's investmert in
the subways.
