In spite of the fact that the City Government evinced no signs of willingness to co- operate, the Public Service Commis- sion will go to the fullest extent in obtaining its views and will always jaccord it great weight in reaching its conclusions, @ Will you raise fares in this olty? A. Not unless absolytely unavoidable. A flat rate of 6 cents was considered by many as the best solution of the New York Railways Company situa- tion, but this has now been adjusted, at least for the time béing, in the only way then open to the commis- sion except to permit disintegration and adopt the partial remedy of joint rates. The abolishing of transfers, however, was unthinkable, if it could possibly be avolded, @ Have you any immediate plana in view? A, In the short vacation f am taking I have with me centracts, reports and laws. With the current work of the Public Service Commis- sion now being handled by capable deputies, there hag been provided an} opportunity to study, without nou- tine interruptions, the whole transit eaten and general conclusions hhve been reached. INVITES CITY'S CRITICISM AND CO-OPERATION. Q. Will you be prepared to act as s00n as you resurhe work at your desk? A. Certainly not. First, the criticism and co-operation of the City Government will be sought, and my colleagues on the commission, with the general counsel and expert statisticians, will be called into con- sultation. While prepared to assume the fullest responsibility in emer- gencies, the commission will not be stampeded into conclusions unless eure of its premises, _ Q.

They Should be #o easily understood and so fair that the operating companies may enjoy the good will of the travel- ling public, and result in the removal of the impression that the companies are antagonistic to the interests of the people they serve, Such results can be attained only through a surrender of the perpetual franchises, the adoption of a’ flexible fare, the advance in the ordei receipt of payment of the city’ toate to such an extent that at t a block of them may become at once self-supporting, and thus automati- cally be released from the debt limit.

If such modifications as 1 have in mind can |be arrived at, it ig my belief that within a comparatively short time the transit syatem wii be on a basis of a universal 5-cent fare and free | fanefers, with books of tickets sold at twelve for 50 cents.

But with the coms! pletion of the systems planned, the establishment of the fixed daily \travel and the making up of the nor- mal passenger increase, so much cut by war conditions, the unit cost will be so reduced that even a less rate than a nickel may ®e charged.
