New York, Aug. 21-Interview
With Commuter
@. You moved from Manhattan
several years ago, did you not, to
become a commuter?
A. Definitely. was in love with
the fresh air, the birds and the bees
and flowers. l was in revolt against
the smoke and fumes, the noise and
confusion and high rents of the city
@. And you come in to town every
morning, returning home each even
ing by train?
A. 1 do. It's a pleasant life. ]
don't see what possessed me to live
in Manhattan as long as did.
Q. How long does it take you to
reach your office from your home in
the country?
A. Just fifty-five minutes.
Q. That's train time?
A. Yes. But it only takes me about
twelve minutes to be driven to the
station of the little town. My wife
drives me eac hmorning and comes
for me each evening.
Q. And how long does it take you
to reach your office from the rail
road station in Manhattan.
A. Oh, no time at ALL Six or
seven minutes.
O. Then L take it you spend twice
twelve minutes, plus twice seven
minutes, plus twice fifty-five minu-
ties in transit every day-or total of
about two hours and half?
A Well, you can figure it out that
way If you wish. 1t doesn't seem that
long. Think of the pure air of the
country, the birds and the
Q. Two hours and a hale a day.
Six times that is fifteen hours a week
or two working days. About eight
working days a month you spend on
trains or in the process of getting to
and from work, don't you? That's
ninety-six days a year, or more than
three full months, isn't it?
A. Oh, you can distort figures to
make it seem depressing, but think of
what we save.
O. What does your committing
cost you?
A. Oh. I only pay $21 a month for
my committing ticket
O.. And your car? You didn't need
a car in Manhattan did you?
A. Every man should have a car.
Henderson daily dispatch., 1936-08-21

I trade my inexpensive coupe iE every
year and get a new one. 1t only costs
me $3.50 a year to do this. The car
doesn't cost me more than $500 year
altogether, for gas oil and everything
That's a generous estimate. In New
York the garage BILL alone
@. Let's see, that's $21 for COM
muting, plus about $33 for your car,
on a monthly basis. Which makes $50
extra expense for living in the coun-
try. What about coal and other fuel
taxes and upkeep for your home?
A. All that doesn't amount to more
than 5000 year. Those things are
figured into the rent you pay on city
apartments anyhow.
@. All right, forget t'scm. Did you
have a servant in the city?
A. Yes, three times week a girl
came in and cleaned. We lived in a
small apartment.
@. Have you a servant now?
A. Yes, two; they're necessary with
a home.
@. And you pay them?
A. Oh, about $50 a month for the
pair. Servants are cheap in the
country. We paid our maid in town
500 a month just for che little she
did-half days at that.
@. So that makes :, tota! Of Ssh
plus $50 or $84 a month more it takes
to live in the country. And in ten
years you will have spent at least two
and a half years getting out tc the
country at night and in to your office
in the morning. Am 1 right?
A. Say what's the idea: Are you
trying to prove
Your Reporter: No, I'm sorry. I
