Sky Commuting Is Latest Hobby Of Wall Streeters; Costs Lots 11 Oishe was on her way home. NEW YORK. Sept. 21. 00 Sky commuting is the latest hobby of Wall streeters who like to live in the country. No less than twenty-eight of them are now commuting in their own or their friend's planes, it was disclosed today by Robert G. Lyon, inspector of the municipal down town airport at Wall street and the East river. Among the commuters are two of J. P. Morgan's sons, two Du Ponts, a Morgan partner, a Har riman, and a polo star. They save from fifteen minutes up, per trip, at a monthly cost of up to approximately $1,000 each, which reassures the railroads which carry most of the city's half mil lion daily commuters. A. Felix Du Pont, Jr., is prob ably running up to the all-time commuter-endurance record. Ac cording to Lyon, this member of the Du Pont family comes in about four times a week on a three-way commuting system from home and office In Wilmington. Del., to home and office in Manhattan, to home in Marion, Mass., then back to Manhattan, and so on. He has a Bellanca seaplane. Saves Over Hour Another long distance commuter who saves a good deal of time over more old-fashioned methods, is E. Roland Harriman, another early arriver, who gets to his Wall street office from his own lake at Arden, N. Y., up beyond Bear mountain, in twenty-five minutes in his Sik orsky amphibian. It would take him one hour and a half by train car commuting. Prices of the planes range from about $6,000 for a Fairchild to about $43,000 for a Grumman. Many of the commuters employ two pilots. Gas and oil may cost anything up from $160 per month, depending on amount of use and size of engines. Monthly airport rental rate runs from $40 to $75, depending on the size of the plane. Most of the air commuters pay $60. Including depreciation of the planes, monthly operating costs may run to $1,000 or even more. But maybe that extra cup of coffee for breakfast is worth $1,000 a month il ;ou have it Dead Man Accused Of Death Of Verna Garr Taylor Last November SHELBYVILLE, Ky., Sept. 21.
