RESIDENT LITTLETON, of the Borough of Brooklyn, has named a committee of twenty. five excellent citizens to take up the question of Better Transit for that abused and neglected community. Many of them have been identified in the past with the chief factor in producing existing conditions, the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company.. Mr. Littleton’s Deputy Commissioner of Public Works, Mr. Brackenridge, was for a long time manager or chief engineer of the same incompetent concern, and, we note, suggests that subways are not needed, We mention both facts without any desire to reflect on the excellent gentlemen, or Mr, Little- ton, who talks better than he acts, but to remind them that if they accept the responsibility involved in the appointment, their duty is to the community and not to any corporate interest. The excellent citizens of Brooklyn are not always the best citizens when the interests of the public at large are concerned. They have thriven upon the gas and electric -monopoly with which they have enslaved the town; they were first responsible for the miserable Lewis and Fowler ‘electrifying’ of the street railroads twelve years ago, They have made money out of the people, and in the main have confined their public efforts to self-glorification aad have been complacently indifferent to the greatest needs of the greatest number. THE WORLD is:going to speak and act for the greatest number, for the abused, mis- handled men, women and children of the city, herded like cattle, driven like sheep to suit the wishes of speculators and ‘‘excellent citizens.’’ It is going to secure'a decent service from the —— |Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company if such a thing is possible. It is going to stand by its demand for a comprehensive four-track express route ela the heart of the city connecting with the Manhattan bridge. It is going to open the way “To Brooklyn's Homes in 15 Minutes!” $40850O900G00000000008 $8004-00000000000 Sprinty’ s New Year’s Smoke ? e ¥ we: id wo 2 @ He and His Chum Acquire Untold Cigarettes and Blow New Year’s Rings.
