Whe Brooklyn Rapid Transit Com- Pany ts beginning to plny the very \@ame “akin” game on the pubdile on the } i hew ‘Willlamsburg Bridge with which Mt has been victimizing ite long-suffor- (img patrons on the present Brooklyn Bridge. Although the Williamsburg Bridge has been open enty a little over tro monthe—since Nov, 8, 1004—the B-coklyn Rapid Transit Company in cutting down the per- vine; and this too deapite the fact that the traMo o the structure hus been growing ateadily and raplilly ever since the bridge rail. Way ‘woe put into operation, ‘The truth of this statement is shown ‘by the following official table of cars in operation on the Willlamsburg Bridge, compiled by the Brooklyn branch of the Bridge Department; Car round trips, Week ending. 7442, Nov, 19 6,400.

The same result was reached there as was reached the week before at the Brooklyn Bridge—no ad- herence to any schedule, seven lines of cars in casual operation on the Williamburg Bridge, as follows: Broadway, Bridge locals, Hamburg ave- nue, Reld avenue, Franklin avenue (not | In the B. R. T), Bushwick avenue and Grand street, The only line which runs with any semblance of regularity is that on Broadway, Brooklyn, and in non-rush hours the headway on that line varies from five to ten minutes, The Nostrand ayeuue cara, which are scheduled to come acrony the bridge every five minutes, actual- ly come across. omer, in, every twenty-five or thirty minutes, Contracts Ave Simithr. The Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company has a contract with the clty covering the operation of cars over the Williams- burg Bridge similar to the contract in force on the Brooklyn Bridge, It virtu- ally gives the Brooklyn Rapid Transit There are exclusive control of the trolley faclll- |" tles on the south roadway, The con- tract says the service shall be to patisfaction of the Commisioner of | Bridges''—but ther is no penalty, and the Bridge Commissioner has no way of enforcing any demand that he fay make for more cars, The situation at the WI (iliamsburg Bridge is now actually even worse, in proportion, than it {8 at the Brooklyn Bridge, due to the InemMiclency of the Brooklyn Rapid ‘Transit Company, and their deliberate disregard of the Inter- ests of tho public, The Brooklyn cars come over on the pouth roadway and go back on a paral> Jel track, on the same roadway, Pend- ing the completion of the elevated road ONLY 13 OLD BOB. TAILED CARS FOR "5000 TO RDE IN pada Se Oa ana Brooklyn Rapid Transit and Inefficiency Cause Frightful Con- ditions on the New Williamsburg Bridge During EveningRush Hours, “the i all the local travel over the bridge has) to be provided for on the trolleys. Every night, during the rush hour, 5,000 persons walk to the Manhattan ter minal of the Williamsburg Bridge, and then have to struggle like wild beasts to get places in the trolleys, 'The reason for this extraordinary con- dition of affains fs that the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company has provided | for these 5,000 persons just exactly thir- teen little old-fashioned cars, They are mounted on single trucks, and are known among trolley employces as the “rocka-by-baby’ cars, for the reason that they rock up and down on thelr tingle truck as they go merrily along, They were originally used os horse cars, twenty years ago, before the era of electricity, When the Willlamsburg Bridge was opened the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Conpany oflctals got thirteen of these Ginky little cars out of their tmrns in the suburbs, painted them to Jook as much like new cars as porstble, tala strips of green carpet on the seats of each, installed a motor to one axle, and put them in commission, Smntl Accommodations, During the evening rush hour, when 6,000 Brooklynites who work In New York turn thelr steps toward the Will- Jamsburg Bridge terminal, Delancey and Clinton streets, these thirteen bob- tailed cars, each about half as long as @ modern double-truck trolley car, are sandwiched in between the regular Brooklyn cars for the “accommodation” of the throng, They come over to the New Yori end of the bridge whenever they can get over, which Is never y’s Greed care on the through lines, where they are complied to' pay 6 cents. The Brooklyn Rapid Trangit Company thus collects @ b-gent fare in thousands of instances from poor wage-sarners whom it hauls only to the Brooklyn side, Whence they «et ou and walk to ¢heir nearby homes. ‘There és a densely pop- lated district in Brooklyn within @ radlus of half a mite of the bridge ter- talnal. \All that the people in this zone require fs local transit over Whe bridge.
