There are hours in the day when you cam get @ seat in a car and a conductor doesn’t tale in enough on a trip to buy more than two %-foot rails. The manager points to the dearth of business and says: ‘Yes, we are ttle crowded at rush hours, but look at that; shall we keep our barns full of cars sixteen hours e@ day just to make working people comfortable when they all rugh home at the same time? Let them spread out their hours of home-golng and we won't need more cars to carry them,’ ‘Transportation facilities in all big citles are always @ Mt- tle behind the need.

Little patches of improvement and increased surface accommodations did not fill the bill. Why, sir, the subway has been needed eo long that its opening will not make transportation what it ehould be.
