8-Cent Fare Too Low
Experts Report Brooklyn
Lines Face $1,262,000
Deficit Even at That Rate
Public Service Commissioner Nixon
announced yesterday that the surface
railway lines of the city had agreed
to pool their interests and were willing
to be operated by a central head or
managing organization. Mr. Nixon, who
departed yesterday for Mount Clemons,
?!ieh., has been at work for almost a
month determining the physical valua?
tion of the city trolley systems. Mr.
.* > a said:
"A general agreement hn.t been
reached to pool interests and to appor
? nie according to nctv.nl valua
to-day. The roads themse.vea
ce i ot place that valuation, and they
have asked me to do it, so that-pro
rata income can bo apportioned. The
issued will have no consideration in my
tions."
The trolley lines of Brooklyn require
b fare greater than eight cents if they
ere to pay operating expenses, taxes
end fixed charges out of their income
o ?? June 30, 1922, according to a
report made yesterday by Stone &
r, railroad experts, to Lindley M.
Garrison, receiver for the Brooklyn
Transit.
Etical tables in the report show
x>.\h an eight-cent fare from the
beg nning of next year the Brooklyn
lines in 1922 will be receiving
$1,2 2,000 a year less than the total of
p?rating expenses, taxes, rentals
and fixed charges. On a seven-cent
fare basis the deficit, according to the
report, would be $1,974,000 annually;
en a six-cent ft a . $3,296,000, and on a
five-cent ?.are, $5,326,000.
The experts cport that the elimina?
tion of tue 15,000,000 rapid transit line
rs a year, now issued each way,
would bring or,.y $7,"),?O0 additional
revenue to the surface lines.? Tran.t'crt
soid at two cents now bring in ?S75,000,
?< ling to the report, and their entire
elimination would increase, this revenue
to $1 050,i
