The consequence ts that scores of persons aro left standing on every etation after they have paid thelr fare, because they are unable to find even strap-hanging room, In former yoars !t has been the ous- tom of the Third avenue to put on extra, trains when the fall set in, but this was before all official attention waa given to the Subway, That tho Interborough Rapid Transit Company ts noglecting the east side elevated roads and that they have been doing so for months has been apparent. It socns to care nothing about the overhead system, and this negect runs to euch en extent that property {s being damaged in rentals on the upper east side, tenants declar- tng that they can no longer live tn dis- tricts removed from the Subway. Many oompla! are received dally by Tho Evening World about the Third evenue Some men and women hai Yost their positions because of lateness ut thelr offices due to the slow and in- frequent running of trains. Some have been injured in the great crush, others have had thelr clothes torn, and still others have been compelled to seek homes on the west side, where they ‘ere conventent to the Bubsray.
