The commission, however, sanctioned
tfir present fare rate of six cents be
tween Jersey, city and linuoken and
HuiUon Terminal in Manhattan, and of
tea cents between Jersey city and Ho
btken and stations along the line from
Christopher street to Thirty-third
street, Manhattan. BVM this rate was
cemtestnd, on tho ground that the road
earns mere and spends less than any
New York system, iind would be nmply
profitable under the old fare of five,

mission ordered (lie company to cancel
Its proposed 8 cent tariffs and discon
tinued further proceedings. According
to the testimony offered In the enso by

by Independent engineers and account
ants and refuted the company's esti
mates, The company represented to the com
mission that Its capitalisation par mile

itatement was ridiculed by municipal
minorities as "grossly excessive" as
compared with tho lnterborough rate nf
