SHOWS MORE LIBERALITY The Long Island Railroad manage . - lieiit announced, to-day that-on April 15 , the company filed with the various regulatory bodies , a supplement to the Misting tariff covering the purchase ind use of 60-trip monthly commuta- tion , iG-trlp school and SO-trlp family tickets , which contemplates the modi- fication ot certain rules and practices :1m will prove beneficial to patrm-i . Under the lnw those proposed changes will become effective May IB , lflM. The railroa d management believes . ' ant many 'Irritating situ ations which nlse under existing rules and prac- ices, will be ' obviated when the pro . loscd modifications lake effect nc-V. month, and that , patrons will appro- date the company ' s desire to give tin- best possible service at all times . ' • For many years it has been custom- iry for the railroad to sell a SO-ride .ommutation ticket, good for use only luring tho last half ot the mouth, iin-1 n conjunction with the purchase of a JO-trlp commutation ticket for the su e. - •ceding month . Under the present •uio this half month ticket is usable onl y to and from terminals. The company now .makes is possible for patrons to purchase commutation tickets good also for use during tlie first half of the month , in conjunction with a. sale of a 60-trip commutation ticket for the preceding month. . In Jthor words , the company is to put on lale a 90-trip ticket at the pro rata rate of a, commutation ticket. . it is also 'proposed to make these half- monthl y tickets good . between all sta- tion s , Instead of restricting tlielr use to and frcm terminal points. Under the new regulations the sam e pro- cedure will bo adopted In connection with the sale and use of 4C-trIp school tickets. Commuters , ' who. through variou s causes , leave their commutation tick- ets at home and arc required to pay a, regular fare will , alter May 15 , have the extra force returned under certain regulations con tained in the new tariff Jutl filed by the company. In 1925 a .regulation -was .put into effect , whereby OOlrip commutation or 50-trlp family tickets could not be used In connection . . with a , cash fare , or another ticket , where the combination was made at a point where trains do not stop. In other words; these re- duced ra te tickets could be used only an trains that stop at the points nam- 3d on the tickets. The company lias now amended this regulation , so as to -x . cept Jamaica and \Voodside from the Order , for- the-reason that they are jucb large transfer points and so many •trains scheduled close together do slop and do not stop, that It was found unfair to -the passenger to make the rule effective at those placet. Fifty-trip family ticket regulations have also been amended , making lliem Seed - for ' one-year after the date pu r- IM A FEW ©AYS , 324 MAIN - ST. ' .. . . Across from Long-Islander Office AMP.
