A 20 percent Increase in basic
one-way t'ures and a .'!5 percent
increase in commutation fares
within Massachusetts Is sought by
the New Haven Railroad in a peti-
tion Hied today with the Massachu-
setts Department of Public Utili-
ties.
The New Haven Is willing, its
petition stales, that any order
i granting increases be given on a
basis of experiment.
The New Haven's petition follows
yesterday's announcement of the
4-polnt plan proposed us a means
of insuring continued operation this
fall and winter of 86 per cent of the
passenger train service which was
operated laBt winter on the former
Old Colony lines. A fare increase
was made a necessary part of the
4-point plan for the former Old Col-
ony lines. The petition filed today
also Includes request for an in-
crease in fares for all intra-state
travel In Massachusetts.
The state-wide increase is neces-
sary, the petition states, because of
various reasons. Chief among these,
an official of the road said, are in-
creased wages, costs of materials
and the 5-day work week which
was granted to non-operating em-
ployees on Sept. 1.
Because of these and other rea-
sons, the New Haven states In its
petition to the Department ot Pub-
lic Utiliti es that "the petitioner
must, therefore, make a fresh re-
view of Its entire pussenger service
problem in Massachusetts in the
light of new developments.
"The problems peculiar to the
be held at Legion Hall . A table ra-
dio given by the unit was won by
Ell Rogers, Jr.
BOWLING PARTY
Miss Florence Llnnell gave a
bowling party recently for her
nephews, Robert and Stephen Ram-
say, attended by IS young people
and adults. Mrs, Henry Johnson,
North Chatham summer resident,
received ilrst prize for adults with
Stephen Ramsuy and BUI Clary
winning first and second prizes,
respectively, in the younger group,
Following the bowling tourna-
ment the party enjoyed refresh-
ments at the Sad Sack.
lines formerly of the Old Colony
Railroad," the petition continues ,
"are by no means the only problem
of petitioner. Affe cting its entire
railroad , as well ns tho Old Colony
lines, arc other problems—some of
them of stnggering proportion.
"Tlie end of the war brought
about substantial decreases in pas-
senger, freight and other traffic.
These decreases have been accen-
tuated by the business 'recession'
of recent months. A very high per-
centage of petitioner 's gross rev-
enue has its origin In passenger
service operations, and any factor
or condition which decreases pas-
senger carryings will affect the New
Haven system to a much greater
extent than other Class 1 railroads.
Operating expenses have mounted
while revenues have fallen , Effec-
tive Sept. 1, 1049 , so-culled non-
operating employees began to work
on a 6-day week. However, the les-
sening of the work week will bo
accompanied by n substantial In-
crease In the payroll.
"In submitting this application
for increased passenger fares , peti-
tioner is willing that any order
granting Increases be postod on a
basis of experiment. The evidence
to bo offered at the hearing will
show that petitioner has already
entered upon a campaign of organ-
ization and publicity in the various
communities on its lines to bring
about a greater use and apprecia-
tion of its facilitie s by the traveling
public. This campaign will involve
the cooperation of railroad manage-
ment und employees with the local
newspapers und civic bodies of ev-
ery nature and description. The au-
thorization of the fare iucreuses set
forth In the prayer of this petition
will provide an opportunity for the
residents of the areas served by
petitioner to Indicate by their pat-
ronage In an experimental period
whether or not the Bervice is need-
ed and wanted , and whether or not
the new fares should be continued. "
Translated Into actual , single
fares between this area and Boston,
present fare Boston to Hyannis is
$2.40, which under the proposed in-
crease would be $2.88; Boston to
Yarmouth, present, $2.34 , proposed,
$2.81; Barnstable , present, $2.22,
proposed, $2.66 ; WeBt Barnstable,
present , $2.10, proposed, $2.52.
In a special message by telephone
this morning from the Slate House,
Senator Edward V. Stonu made the
following
Statement
When nrgulng In the Legi'alatuVe
for the bill to put Into effort the
recommendation of the Old Colony
Commission that the State pur-
chase the South Station , condition-
ed among other things upon tho
New Haven malting a contract, to
be approved by the Governor and
Council, to give the Old Colony
area udequute railroad passenger
service and also upon the New Ha-
ven and the New York Central
leasing the South Station as their
principal terminal , at a rental cuf-
iicient to pay the Interest and amor-
tize the principal of the bonds the
State would issue for the purchase
price, warning was given that the
failure to pass the bill might result
in the New Haven exorcising its
right wholly to discontinue railroad
passenger service in the Old Col-
ony area. o
The present statement of the
New Haven makes clear thut com-
plete abandonment of railroad serv-
ice goes into effect until noxt sum-
mer on the line between Buzzards
Hay and Woods Hole , and appar-
ently curtails service so far as the
other towns In tho Cape ami Sen-
atorial District are concernod.
The suggestion llrst presents it-
self of Immediately creating the
new Old Colony Commission author-
ized by Chapter 21 of this year 's
Resolves. Such a Commission , meet-
ing with tho Now Haven manage-
ment, might work out some better
nrrangement or hopefully make pos-
sible the passage o[ legislation to
curry Into affect tlio recommenda-
tion of the old Commission.
Yet , patronage Is still the answer
to transportation by railroad. The
people in the district mentioned
huve patronized the summer sched-
ule. It 1B plainly up to them to do-
cide what putronngo they will glvo
the New Haven from now on. In-
creasing fares may well result In
decreased patronage . Tho law of
diminishing returns may come into
action. The several communities
muBt study tho situation and BO
may well form conclusions to deal
with the problem.
