Commissioner F, M Baker has been He filed his report at to-day's meet- dng, A line on the awful demoralization of the street railway system of “Brooklyn may be gained from Mr. Baker's discovery that the B. R. T, must spend $20,000,000 in the next three years to put {ts lines in shape to handle the traffic, which, with the natural increase in population, will have to be handled at the end of that time. Of this great anm Mr, Bakor entimaten that $8,500,000 will have to be spent in 1905, $5,000,000 in 1908 and $6,500,000 In 1007, By ¢ beginning of 1908, he says, the B, railroad if the company is forced to make the improvements he @ mecessary, R, T. onght to be a fair sort o It may be interesting to patrons—or victims—of the B, R. T. to know that Mr, Baker finds that out of the $20,000,000 that must be spent $11,500,- 000 must go for improvements, No more scathing arraignment of a railroad corporation could be made than this—$11,500,000 necessary for improve- ments to corrigated tracks, decaying terminals and barns, rotting ‘“L” structures, wobbly cars, puny power stations and other equipment, Needs of the B. R. T. ‘Mr, Baker reporte that there is !m- Mediate need for 00 new cars of up-to- date patterns—100 for uso on the “L" lines, and 200 for use on the surface, He finds that the B, R, T, needs new er houses, enw equipment, new roll- swok, new terminals, new tracks ‘and now repair shops. The corporation ig mpending $20,000 a month for power furnished by the Hdison Lighting Com- pany. In the past two and a half years dhe B. R. T, has pald $3,800,000 for out- side power. Figures were submitted to the Board by Mr. Baker to ¢how that the increase of traftic on the B, R. T. lines 1s enor- mous, but that the company has done very little to tako care of It. In No- yember, 1903, B, R, T. handled 22,200,000 passengers, In November, 194, thé sys- tem handled 22,350,000 passengers, an Anorease of 150,000 month, of 6,000 a day, After the Commissioners had talked ever all of the affairs of the B, R, T. fan adjournment was taken, Col, Dunn paid to @ reporter for The Evening ‘World: To Make Full Inquiry. “We propose to make @ thorough In- vestigation of all of the affairs of the @ompany and to hear all of the com- plaints of the thousands of riders who Rave been suffering 0 long, The com- pany has Improved its condition since ‘we last investigated ‘ts affairs, but the traffic has also increased corresponding- ly. The company must expend amount of money that we haye destz- nated in ander to give anything like adequate service,” In addition to stirring up the Board \of Railroad Commissioners The Bven- ing World has succeeded in impressing upon tho'Rapld Transit Commission the necessity for a revision of Engineer Paraons's plans for a subway to Brook- fyn, At a meeting of the Boant yes- terday it was decided to hold a publlo hearing on the project for a subway along Fulton street and Gates avenue, at No, 820 Broadway, Willlamsburg next Wodnesday afternoon at 2,30 Polock.

A squad of Brooklyn mounted police ls now clearing Fulton street of ve hile traffic in the City Pall district, in omer to give the Brooklyn Rapid ‘Tramsit Company @ chance to run more vara over tho Bridge during all hours, Including rush hours, sia The Brooklyn Rapid Transit Com- pany'is only not taking advantage of this opportunity to improve the trolley facilitios on bridge but dt is doing the very oppdsite, That corporation deliberately nullified in advance the work of the mounted squad hy parting with practically all of its extra crows he lines all over Brook- lyn, It is now running only Its regular cars on all the routes, There are no longer any trippers to speak of, There are not half as many trippers now as there were three years ago, ‘here are fo more regwar runs on any of the lines than there’were a year ago. That means that the Brooklyn Rapld ‘Transit Company ds giving the people who use the bridge in rush hours no more accommniodation than it gives the people who use the bridge in non-rush hours, Just One of the “Economies,” ‘That is one of the many “economies” whieh Kdwin W, Winter Introduced When he succeeded Greatsinger as president, Some of the directors of the Brooklyn Rapid ‘Transit haye been de- luded into the belief that Mr, Winter's clever cconomies ut the expense of the people are really great reforms, ‘The books of the Union Ferry Com- | pany, however, tell a different story, They show that the recent “economies” vf tho Brooklyn Rapid Trinsit Com- pany and thy Brooklyn Heights Rail- road Company are actually reducing the Income which the stockholders should receive, for the reason that many persons who would ride pver ‘the bridge if they could get decent facili- tles now walk over the structure, and also to thelr homes within a radius of @ nile from ine other end of the struc- ture, In robbing the public the Brook- lyn Rapid Transit officials also reduce the stovkhohlers’ profits, ‘The Brooklyn Rapld Transit Com- pany ‘has further reduced the expenses of operation by discharging nearly all cf {ts ewitchmen, Formerly there were The cars of the elevated system are dirty lighted and antiquated, and the eon the Purnum avenue line is poor—not cars enough, CHARLES D, SHAW, SOA Macon street, The trolley service ts s0 poor on Puts nam avenue and Halsey street route compare It with Gates avenue, where the Rapld-Transit Company has ‘to com- pete with the De Ixaky avenue line, The |Seoret of the wholo thing is that. they | have no competition and they will do fothing to better the service because wo have to ride or walk JOHN COLLINS, 19 Rrevoort place | Tt does not run enough trains to ey able one to Ket Wt seat, B, ELLERBROOK, No, 71 Quincy street.

Several thousand cars pass over the switchos at that point dally, Next to the City Hall crossing it is the most Important in Brooklyn, The Hnes to and from South Ferry use one switch ut Boerum place and Atlantlo avenue, Tho Mnes to and from the bridge use another, ‘There 1g no longer any switchman at elthor, The motormen are required to turn the switches, Cause of Delay. The result is a del of from one- half @ minute to @ minute and a half In the case of each car passing that junction, The Evening World made a test of the time the motormen lost In switching, No car was delayed less than half a minuto, Several cars were delayed two minutes. The motorman has to stop his car at exactly the right spot, in order to lean over the dashboard and reach the tongue of the switch with his cumbersome Iron prong, Of fifty cara under observation ten falled to slop at the right spot, The motormen miscalculated their Mstance, Some stopped too far over the switch, some stopped too far away from It. Those that got too clase had to back thelr cars. One Seventh avenue mo- torman got angry and backed the car too far, and had to run it forward and stop again, A Fifth avenue car was close on him, and It had to back, too, before the Seventh avenuo car could be backed, This annoying pro- ceeding took three minutes, Finally the Seventh avenue motorman had to open his gate, get out on the ground and turn the switch, An Evening World representative ‘took a ride from the bridge on a Seventh avenue car to see how much time was lost by the motorman In per- forming the additional duty of ewitch- man, ‘These cars now loop the loop under the Brooklyn Bridge through the Pros- | pect strect arch, Tt took the Brooklyn ftapid, Transit managers ten years to find oft how to avold crossing tn front of cars going on the bridge at Sands and Washington streets by using the luop unde? the Prospect street arch, eS AN OLD, OLD STORY AND ONE THAT IS TOLD OFTEN. time, are always overcrowded and the spitting on the floor Is just as bad as jever, All cars should be heated tn winter, EXRIOUR MULLER No, 7114 Monroe street.
