The new Commissioner has shown commendable real in striving Ws gain the good will of his men. But hie first duty is, nevertheless, to the public. That duty ie not always made clear by consulting the opinions and prejudices of the force. Commissioner Woods is also eafd to have e echeme for assigning policemen to duty near their homes. Is any other class of workers thus favored?

The Bergen County Bosrd of Freeholders yesterday passed a reeo- tution ofdering the Publte Service Corporation of New Jersey to reduce the fare from five to three cents, the new rate to go into effect June 25. ‘This ‘ection, whieh The Evening World has ef along strongly decision of the Supreme Court of the United States last week which wpheld the act of the Chosen Freeholders of Hudson County, New Jersey, fixing fargg for single and round trips to New York on the Port Richmond and Bergen Point ferry. ‘The Court declared that States may regulate ferries from ehore ‘them.

It only remains for New York’s Aldermen and Board of Estimate promptly to smooth away any complications that may arise from the city’s ownership of the ferry terminal site at the foot of West One Hundred and Thirtieth street and to prove that we on this side of the river are equally eager to enjoy the new rates. epee ‘The call of the West for faym helpers gives the I.

But a cheese-paring policy which takes ad- | vantage of the beach season when the public travels most to grind the *taet nickel out of sweltering, nerve-worn passengers by jamming them together in fewer cars is an outrage. Nor is there any exense in these days of side-door cars for the old-style contraptions with exits only through the narrow end doors— the type which the B. R. T. still runs. If we had a Public Service Commiesion worthy of the name evils of this sort might be remedied before they become unendurable.
