There wasn’t so much af of the Brooklyn Rapid | watered stock In the Brooky Rapid Transit," said Tho Cigar-|Transit reservoirs those days, and Store Man, thera was competition between the “Yes,” replied The Man Higher } various lines.’ Up, “and they jammed in a man of! “When the Brooklyn Rapid Transit the name of Winter to take his!got a practical monopoly of all lines place. When Greatsinger was brought | loading to Coney Island the manage- out of the Wild and Woolly and given | ment began to figure. People would charge of the Brooklyn Ines the peo- | go to Coney; they used to pay a quar- ple thought they were going to get grand opera transit. What they got was of the hand organ variety. The name of the new man is suggestive, ter or more for the round trip. Why not sting them again? So they man- ufactured a stinger in the shape of a double fare to and from Coney, and The people have been promised an improvement, but what they are like- ly to get is @ frost. “Greatsinger knew all about run- ning a railroad, but in running the Brooklyn Rapid Transit he had a game that wns open at both ends and conducted for the benefit of the kitty. You or I could run a railroad if {t was simply @ question of pay- ing dividends cn what the roed cost. But when It comes to building Profits on watered stock the proposition is different from what it looks to be on the bills. “Jt didn’t cost much money to bu¥e the Brooklyn ¢rolley and ‘L’ lines when they were first put up. But when the stock jobbers got thelr lunch ‘| ooks in the value increased like a scandal in a woman's club, The way things stand now an investigator wouldn't be thought daffy if he went to Brooklyn expecting to find the ratle made of gold, the ties of mahogany and the cars finished in inlaid pearl. “The roacia were consolidated and stock was issued and ‘bonds were sold ‘antil the indebtedness of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit began to look like the Rocky Mountains. Investors had to get returns for the money they put in. ‘The people who rode on the cars and trains had ¢o pay the dividends. “Six years ago the only way to get to Coney Island was by the old Culver route or the boats. Then they opened the trolley. For a long time ‘all % cost to get to ee, LENS Wes e ere from the Broo ya. end of doubled the receipts from the through passengers. “Ot course, many thousands more people go to Coney every day in the summer now than went six years ago, | but the transportation facilities have not kept pace with the increase. The Various Brooklyn managements that used to conduct their nes with the {dea of the greatest comfort for the greatest number have been consoll- dated into one concern, which has for a motto ‘The more you carry the more they pay.’ They wont start a car from elther terminal until it is sepia ito the steps, and as long aa the people stand for it there will be “When Greatsinger came here he took leasons from Vreeland, the man who runs the surface lines of Manhettan, Ata dinner in thé City Club a couple of weeks ago Vreeland made a speech, Ho told the members of the City Club that he was the only man in the world who knew how to run a rafiroad. He eald that the qnanagers of lines from Paris to Peking con- sulted him as to how he did it. But he didn’t say what they consulted him about. He didn’t say what information they were after. What they want- ed from Vreeland was to find out how he made the people stand up in his street cars, Winter has been a pupil in the same school, and the chances are that he will plant a scheme to make people ride to Coney Island stand- ing on the roofs of the cars and using their arms to bring electricity from the wire, thus saving the expense of keeping trolley poles in repair.” “Why do you suppose Vreeland made that speech to the City Club?” asked ‘The Cigar-Store Man. “Because nobody elee peal Dill tee Fesppnded.
