SUSPENDSITS RARE BOOST Cancels New Commu- tation Rates at Re- quest of P. S. Com- mission COMMUTERS HOWL Road Decides to Await Decision 0 11 Higher Schedules— To Give Refunds NEW YORK, July S—Jl‘he 20 to 40 per cent increase in commuta- tion rates on the New York. New Haven 8:. Hartford Railroad will be canceled almost as suddenly as it was instituted. The new rates went into effect at midnight on Tuesday. much to the indignation of. commuters. who first learned of them when they bought tickets yesterday. So bitter was the feeling against the higher fares that the road an- nounced last night thatg at-the re- quest of the Public Seri‘lce Commis- sion the old rates would be restored. within a day or so. The restoration does not mean that the old rates will be pennan- cnt. 1f the Public Service Commis- sion approves the new tariff pro- posed by the New Haven Railroad. the higher fares will be put into operation immediately. The official statement by the rail- road follows: “At. the rdaucst of. and with the Approval of. the Pub- lic Service Commission of New York ’ ing its decision in thb continu- in on rate case of the New York. New Haven & ' Hartford Railroad Company. the company will restore the former rate on one days' notice. This will apply to both the intrn~ state and interstate rate." Confirmation from Albany of the commission's request foul the‘re- sumption of the old rates is expect- ed in a day or two. Officials of the railroad said last night that on com- mutation tickets sold before the lower rates are restored a satisfac- tory adjustment will be made. The unexpected institution of the new tariff amazed and angered com- muters whose commutation tickets had outlived their usefulness and who found themselves obliged to pay from $3 to 36 more than the former price of monthly commuta— tion tickets. The dissatisfaction vented itself principally on the tick- et agents. who found yesterday one long round of vltuperatloli and abuse.
