"WEXT CAR SELDOM x RUNS TN BROOKLYN. , \One Witness at Hearing Before Rail- ’ road Commission Says That Is One Reason Why the Few Cars That Are Run Are Always Jammed. ‘Travelling Conditions Could Be Im- proved at Once by Utilizing the Means Now at Hand—Spirited Denunciation , of ‘Nickel Shaving” Practices in the’ Borough Across the River. The State Railroad Commissioners, Ashley W. Cole, of Brookly: ‘George W. Dunn, of Binghamton, and Frank M. Baker, of Oswego, had fthe “hogging” “packing” ond “jamming” on the street-car system of | Brooklyn put right up .o them to-day at a public hearing in Brooklyn, ‘Borough Hall. Among the first protests received against the outrageous neglect and oppression of travellers by the Brooklyn Rapid Transit system that con- he aN offered by Mr. Frank Harvey Field, of the Citizens’ Union. Mr. Field) ‘pointed a warning finger at Commissioner Cole, who presided at the public | thearing, and said: “An editorial in a leading and very conservative paper stated that | ithere is very little use of appealing to the Railroad Commission. This community will watch the work of this Commission, therefore, with the keenest interest. It is ou. place to complain, and it is your place to find a remedy. And the community expects you to do so. We will not have any Jame conclusion on this matter. We must know the conditions and we must know the remedy.” ‘COMMISSION PROMISES TO ACT. Chairman Cole did not like the remark of Mr. Field, for he immediately rose and said that the Railroad Commission had always tried to do its duty, and had done it, particularly in South Brooklyn some years ago. He said that the Commission would do anything in its power to improve con- “ise and present a remedy, . Cole then called upon various committees to announce themselves. Wailea representing the Seventeenth Ward Board of Trade, the Com- mittee of Fifty, ‘Twenty- -sixth Ward Board of Trade, Retail Grocers’ As- sociation, Ocean Hill Board of Trade, Twenty-ninth Ward Manufacturers’ Association, Thirtieth Ward Improvement Association, Twenty-sixth Ward Social Reform Club, Twenty-first Asembly Republican Club ‘and South Brooklyn Board of Trade responded, and all approved the charges drawn up by the Manufacturers’ Association. Before the Commissioners called the hearing to order Chairman Cole a: ‘e “What we want are facts. Speeches don't go.” To which remark Secretary James T. Holle, of the Manufacturers \Association, replied: ‘Mr. Cole is not the whole works.” He then called for the complaints, and William McCarroll, President of he Manufacturers’ Association, arose. He said he was accompanied by counsel, in the person of Judge Abraham Dailey. Mr, McCarroll then read a long typewritten statement, reciting the ywoesof the citizens and the shortcomings of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit ‘Company. It was a complaint which every listener indorsed. Just as he finished President Greatsinger of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit v ‘Company entered the room and sat down at the long table behind which twere the Railroad Commissioners. Mr, McCarroll was followed by Ludwig Nissen, chairman of the Rapid *WTransit Facilities Committee of the Manufacturers’ Association. He was followed with the reading of the formal complaint against the Brooklyn ‘Rapid Transit Company, drawn up by the. Manufacturers’ Association. CROWD OF SUFFERERS THERE. During the reading of this complaint the room gradually filled up until several hundred well dressed and prosperous looking citizens were {interested spectators. The specific complaint submitted to the Railroad Commissioners, in ad- Mition to reciting the causes of the public uprising against the transit con- ditions, goes into the history of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company and the roads comprising the system. It shows the real reason for the crowding of cars—the desire on the part of the management to make dividends on Snormous blocks of watered stock. The complaint shows that out of a * total of $110,250,000 stocks and bonds in the roads in the system $47,975,000 i. fs “water.” The first complaint is that the company hag failed to provide sufficient and comfortable cars for the accommodation of its patrons, that cars are not run with sufficient frequency, and that the management of the cars has “been negligent; that in the “rush hours” no attempt whatever is made to <j * administer to the public comfort, and that in other than the “rush hours” * the number of cars run fe 60 reduced that conditions are but little better. PLENTY OF ROLLING STOCK. The complaint continues that although the company has sufficient roll- * ing stock on hand to give adequate service on the elevated lines it fails to do 90 in order to divert traffic to the surface lines; that the care—elevated and gurface—are not properly warmed or ventilated; that it 1s common for con- ductors to become so wedged in among the passengers that they are com- pelled to ask passengers to ring the bell. It {8 shown that the company has been guilty of lack of foresight a business Sense in not providing for sufficient power in case it should lose ‘one of its power-houses by fire—as it did several months ago; that this lack of foresight continues in that the company has made no plans to ‘take care of the increased traffic thet will go to Williamsburg over the new Hast River Bridge; that the continued negligence of the company, which has a monopoly of transportation privileges, has done incalculable ‘harm to the borough of Brooklyn. i “ Circulation Books Open to . ‘trols all “L” and street-car lines in that much-abused borough was that | NEW YORK, MONDAY, rity AY PDT TS tere oe 2) 10. | “ Circulation Books Open to AIL’? ) EDITION DECEMBER 29, 1902.

The presence of the Mayor in town was a secret for fully two hours after his arrival. He came from New York on a morning train and was driven to the Capitol and went at once to the Governor. They took luncheon together at the Executive Mansion. The Mayor returned to New York City on an at- ternoon train. ‘There is much speculation as to the subject of the conference, as both the Governor and the Mayor refused to say @ word about It. There is no doubt that the Governor read to Mr. Low the gectiony of ‘his coming measage to Legislature affecting the city's Intere: ne conference aeems to Indicate m: clearly that Gov.
