MOKDAT, j y y g 1017. PEOPLE WHO KNOW PREFER THE ENTERPRISE \ WPeHKSBPSIB, H. Y. Why the Local Trolley Co. Asks a 6c Fare T h e Poughkeepsie City and W appingers Falls Klectric R ailw ay Co. filed today w ith the Public Service Commission at A lbany, an application to m a k e a charge of six cents for street railroad transportation in Poughkeepsie. This step is taken w ith great reluctance and has been long postponed. T h e necessity for m ak ing it has been apparent for several years. This is not a w a r m easure; it is m erely a step to enable the Com p any to m aintain its service to the people of this com m u n ity by charging suf ficient fare to pay the expense of rendering the service. This is not a plan to take advantage of a w a r k situation to secure unusual profits. T h e fact is W aat the plan doe-7 n o t involve, so far as the com- B a n y is concerned, an actual increase in the price B f its service; it is m erely a step to adjust the com- P p a n y to the trem endously reduced purchasing I p o w e r of the nickel. I T h e five-cent fare was established m a n y years ■ ago, under conditions absolutely different from ■ th o se which have prevailed in recent years. Im- Iprovem e n ts in the art and great economies have ■ m a d e it possible up to now to continue to give the Iservice for the five-cent fare. I But now conditions have been revolutionized. ■ T h e nickel today does not buy as much in ma- Iterial, labor, etc., as four cents would have bought l a few years ago, or as three cents w o u ld have I b o u g h t tw enty years ago. I T h e service of our street railroads m u st be f rendered out of money taken in from passengers. ! W ith that money we m u st pay the costs of labor, m a terials and taxes, as well as m ake a reasonable allowance for deterioration of the property and keeping it up to standard. In addition to all that, w e m u st pay a fair return upon the capital invest ed in our property. In recent years, the return on capital invested in New York street railroads has been grow ing steadily less. T h e result is an increasing diffi culty on the part of the companies to induce peo ple to invest their savings in developing and ex tending electric railw a y service to accord w ith the needs of the people. T h e situation is simple. W e are anxious that the people shall thoroughly understand the facts. T h e case will, of course, have to be presented to the Public Service Commission for its determ ina tion, but in addition to that, w e shall take partic ular pains to see to it that the facts are understood by the p a trons of our lines. R egrettable, therefore, as this action is, and possibly inconvenient as it m a y be, w e earnestly hope the people will w ithhold adverse judgm ent upon it until they have had bpportunity to con sider the facts which w e shall present to them. W e feel confident that an im p artial exam ination of these facts will show that this act, instead of being taken w ith indifference to the public inter- (ist, is on the contrary absolutely necessary in the interest of our service to the public.—Adv. but th( Soldiers 'are voting; workn] mou'-Mers, macbimsts, women, waiters, scnibwomeni, van-ts. cab-drivers, street cleaners, railrc'a;d men, peasants—all are vot ing.
