George vs byH . E. P. ! Long Island Railroad Company tecom pel a reduction of the round trip fares between Freeport and Flatbush Depot, and between Freeport and Pennsyl vania Station is now before the Public Service Commission formally by the filing of the answer to Mr. George’s complaint by the Railroad Company. This complaint was filed on behalf of the taxpayers and residents ef the Village of Freeport. It claimed that the Long Island Railroad Company dis criminated against the Village of Freeport in charging less fare to Wreck Lead than to Freeport, although the same distance. The plaintiff charged in his com plaint that the distance from Freeport to Flatbush Depot was 22.7 miles and between Freeport and Pennsylvania Station 24.7 miles according to the time-table published by the railroad company; also that the distance be tween Wreck Lead and Flatbush was 24.1 miles and from Wreck Lead to Pennsylvania Depot, 26.2 miles. That the railroad company charged the peo ple of Freeport 29 cents more per round trio than it did the Wreck Lead people, and this was an unjust dis crimination; that this discrimination was to benefit Long Beach develop ment; that the fares charged to Free port were excessive, and the complaint prayed for a reduction of the fare be tween Freeport and Flatbush Depot and the Pennsylvania Depot to 90 cents per round trip to Flatbush Depot and $1.00 per round trip to Pennsylvania Depot. The railroad company in their answer filed with the Public Service Commis sion on Nov. 29, denies that it charges an excessive fare, or that the purpose is to favor Long Beach, or that the distance is as stated iti the iplaint, or that it is an unjust dis crimination, and by way of defense it makes the following allegations: That the distance and rates of fare between the Pennsylvania Station (N. Y), Wreck Lead and Freeport, and between Flatbush Avenue Station (Brooklyn) Wreck Lead and Freeport are as follows: Penn. Sta. to Miles 1-way Trip Com Wreck Lead 24.1 71c $1.00 $11.00 Freeport 24.8 73c $1.24 $10.56 Flat. Ave. Sta. to Wreck Lead 22.0 66c 90c $9.00 Freeport 22.7 68c $1.14 $8.56 \That Wreck Lead and Freeport are not comparable as fishing stations. Wreck Lead is a fishing station pure and simple, and passengers alighting from trains at this point are able to secure boats in the immediate vicinity of the station. On the other hand. F’reepoit is a village of considerable size, and the distance from the Free port station to the point where it boun 1 to become, unless your authori ties take seme steps, we are bound to continually raise the rates to cover the increased risk.\ Isn’t it a sound argument, although we all realize these people are jump- will be of interest, when it is received.

Long Beach being essentially a watering place with the necessary facilities for surf bathing, etc., a rate of fare has been made to meet the demands of pat rons desiring to take advantage of these facilities, which rate is lower than the usual rates of fare for similar distances. The practice of making lower rates of fare to watering places is universal, and applies not only to Long Beach, but to all other watering places and amusement resorts of a similar character.’’ The railroad company then asks that the complaint be dismissed. The plaintiff’s attorneys. Edwards & Levy, have notified the Public Service Commission of the receipt of the ans wer and have moved the trial of. the issues for as early a date as the Com mission can set for the same. Ex-Judge Elvin N. Edwards, who has charge of this matter, informs ue this is purely a question whether or not the railroad will be permitted to discriminate for any reason in favor ing any particular locality as against another. These corporations operate quasi-public highways and Mr. Ed wards argues should be compelled to do It on a perfectly fair and equal basis for all, and unless this is true, a mere whim of the officers of the corporation might do a great injury to a com munity.
