The road was found guilty of making freight rate concessions to @ certain customer to the disadvantage of others But why should the Central do it? To the lay mind the law protibiting robetes is a protection for the railroads themselves. It Pelieves them from their former embarrassment of being forced to @rant costly favors to big customers and then having to excuse their aetions to iol gnant amalier ones. Their answer to the insatiable how rate seeker being supplied them by the law, it would seem that the railroads could thankfully go ahead and figure on uniform rates end uoshared profits. Yet here is a road like the Central of New Jersey in trouble through the same old policy of discrimination! Most forms of business have asked for such laws to save them from the incessant demands of favor seekers and the constant drain of “special rates.” How foolish of the railway corporations not to make use of protection given them! Many roads have resented anti-pess laws. Yet these lawe could amply have been to their advantage by stopping gaps in their revonue, besides freeing them from the necessity of kotowing to every politi- ian, officeholder and editor who found it pleasant to ride free. Do the railroads realty know a good law when they eee it? . (re WALK FORTH NEXT SUNDAY.

From all sides come hearty congretulations to this newspaper * for a popular and sensible proposal.

A three-cent fare would mean, in the total the city reovives from the ferry company, a difference of per- haps $6,000, What about the difference to New Yorkere—not to speak of residents of New Jersey? What about the difference to business interests in Harlem following « new influx of regular shoppers from across the river? What about the difference to big shops further down town certain to share the increased custom? What about prop- erty values that always rise when cheaper transportation brings more people to a given section? Wou!d $6,000 or $60,000 or $600,000 measure these differences and the benefit they will ultimately bring to the city? Moreover, increased travel at lower rates will make a difference in the revenues of the ferry itself. Few, transportation companies in or about New York have ever lowered fares without increasing business. The city will get its money back. Corporation Counsel Polk’s report to the Aldermen on the sub- ject leaves untouched the sum of what the city has to gain from a three-cent ferry fare at this point. Mr, Polk quibbles over the doubtful power of the Bergen County Board of Freeholders “to fix fares from New York.” If the City of New York agrees with the Bergon Freeholders that a three-cent ferry rate from Edgewater to New York is for the ultimate advantage of both sides of the river, the Public Service Corporation of New Jersey, which controls the ferry, will suddenly see light and reduce the fare. It is the hesitating attitude of this city which encourages the corporation in its obstructive tactics. The Sinking Fund Commission must next take up the question | | 1 CAN'T WAIT WERE ALL Day.
