Proposed Action on the fubject of Cheap Transit in the City—Westchester County Unites with the Metropolis in an Arraignment of the Harlem Railroad Company—Legisla- tive Aid To Be Invoked Immedi- ately—The People Organizing to Securo Lower Rates of Fare to Their Suburban Homes. While heing deeply interested in the subject of “rapid transit,” the inhabitants of the upper por- tion of Manhattan Island, as ‘well as those in the newly annexed portion of the metropolts, are just now endeavoring to adopt such means as will afford them transportation to and irom their homes at more reasonable rates than at present exist. In short, cheap transit under the present facilities for reaching the northern portions of the city has become a question of vital importance to the thousands living 1n the territory indicated. ‘Yo solve this vexed problem a bill is now being prepared by a committee of fifteen gentlemen, representing the several villages and depots be- tween the Grand Central Depot and White Plains, Westcnester county, which is to be presented to the Legislature at an early day. The frst sec- tion of the bill in question provides that on and after 1ts adoption the Harlem Railroad Company shall charge but five cents for conveying each pas- senger from the City Hall to the Forty-second street depot, and from the Grand Central Depot to Harlem and Mott Haven. six cents, making the iare from the City Hal to the Harlem River eleven cents. This could hardly be regarded as a ruinous reduction in. the Fates Of passenger fare, as the Second and Third Avenue railroads now charge but six cents for car- rying passengers tae same distance, The bill also provides that the rate o/ fare to Melrose shall be seven cents; to Morrisanta, eight cents; to. Tre- mont, ten cents; to Fordham, twelve cents,.ana so on in the same ratio to White Plains, the fare to which place is fixed in the bill at forty-four cents. it also provides that upon the prepayment of the respective amounts of passenger rates to each of the stations ae railroad company sbail B COMMUTATION BOOKS, containin 100 ‘tickets, which shall go01 for four months instead of three months, as at present, and at about the same rates of fare as, above named. Thus, a person tiving at Morrisanta can obtain 100 tickets lor $8; or, if residing at Tremont or Forduam, can purchase the same travelling facilities for $10 and $12 respectively. The bill further provides that the Harlem Rauroad Company shall not charge any more trom | way stations between the Grand Ventral depot and Chatham, the terminus oi the road—than the rates that are now charged on the Hudson River | aud New York Central roads; and also makes it obligatory on the company to run the same num- ber of local trains between White Plains and New York as it did in,the month of June, 1873. When the peoplé who settied Morrisania in 1849, under the “associative principic,” with Nicholas McGraw and others as trustees, had effected a purchase of 200 acres of land | from Gouverneur Morris, at $200 per acre, | grata @ mutual agreement among themselves that a building was te be erected upun each acre, ' the association, through Mr. McGraw, applied to. | the Harlem Railroad pe cod for facilities where- | by they could reach the usiness portion of New York at a reasonable rate. The application re- suited in an agreement on the part of the railroad company with those who were about settling on the tract mdicated to couvey them to and trom the City Hall to their homes in Morrisunia at the Tate ot TEN CENTS FOR EACH PASSENGE! | and to issue commutation tickets wluch ‘Shout not - | exceed $30 per annum; to Forduam toe rate of passenger fare to be tliteen cents, or by commuta- tion $35 per avuum. The Harlem Railroad Com- pany, it will be recollected, then conveyed passen- gers ‘Irom Westchester county to. tae City Hall at the rates of fare mentioned. Now the charge from Morrisania to Forty-second street is diteen cents, and from that pot to the City Halll six cents additional, while the time con- sumed im travelling the whoie distance is at least hall an hour more than when the fare was ten cents. It appears that the company, rely- ing on its old charter, granted im 1835, has acted on the principie that it charges passengers as much as it pleases, while it has been con- stantly asserted. by lawyers of note’ tnat if the question was fairly tested it would be found that the company has no right to charge more than two cents per mile—the limitation fixed on the Hudson River and New York Cevtral roads. it is further argued that the effect of the Harlem Railroad Company charging seventy cents be- tween the Grand Central Depot and White Plains the county seat of Westchester, a distance o: twenty-two miles, has been to repress the settle~ Ment of tne lower part of the couaty, and to drive suburban inhabitants to New Jersey, Connecticut. and Long Island. The eation of cheap transit, which the bill ine dicated 1s intended to secure, is fraught with almost incatculabie interest to the small property bolders in the annexed district, Inasmuch as the proposed improvements therein, such as the opea- ing and grading of streets and avenues, the intro-~ duction of water, the taonelling of tne Hartem River, taxes for gas and other burdens as yet to them unknown, will render it absolutely necessary, to prevent the confiscation of property in that por- tion of the city, that cheaper raves of tare should be adopted. At all events the people of West- chester county seem to be thoroughly aroused on the subject, and, in imitation of the grangers of the West, are ofganizing for the purpose of pro- tecting their vitul interests and compelling the Hariem Ratiroad a Company to do them jwstice.
