R. T. CRUMB. 2 “/' Public opinion won a slight concession from the B. R. T. In the ~ abolition of a double fare to Coney Islarid for people living south of ——-Prospect-Park. Pending a_decision_by_the Court_of Appeals in the test case now before it, the public will have to put up with this slight im- ~ provement. Everybody who pays a double fare should continue to Insist upon 2) sbate check and these checks should’ be preserved. - Before next sum- miér’s Coney Island season opens there should be a final adjudication. ere are other matters pending betweert the city and the B. R. T.}- more important ‘than the question of whether the people living south of Prospect Park shall pay five or ten” cents to go fo Coney Island. The B. R. T. owes over $3,000,000 of back taxes for which the city has “fssued-revenue bonds to make Its incame balance. It is also: praposed that the city shall take over $3,500,~ 000 of valuable real estate at: the New-York ‘end=of=the Brooklyn Bridge to provide terminals-for the B. R..7.’s cars and enable the re- duction of operating expenses, 3 = What the B. Ro T. owes the city would pay for the terminal property, but the city will issue more bonds | Mayor McClellan's message Is deficient in not supplying fullinfor- =-mation as fo the obligations of the public service corporations to the city. The net amount of the city’s bonded indebtedness is stated to be half a billion dollars, a little less than the capitalization of the traction merger. The increase in the debt for the last two years is stated to be $89,668,310, or about the amount of unpaid taxes due the city. * Such crumbs of comfort’as-this south of Prospect Park concession are trifling in comparison with the changes that should be made. “There should be a universal free transfer system everywhere within the city limits.There-should-be-2-good service; wvith-storage-yards-and_ter tinals paid for by the railroad companies and not by the taxpayers. Justice Gaynor, in his New Rochelle address, pointed out the man- ; whilchy the public service corporations have repudiated their public duties, They have -capitalized_the streets-and bridges which were con- + structed and are maintained at public expense. They have arranged their service not as would best sult: the public. convenience but in such manner <as would bring the greatest profits to themselves.

The Steinway tunnel under the East River is an instance in point. he-Stelnway franchise-had lapsed years ago. Its invalidity was recog- nized by-Mr.-Belmont In-sending to Albany to Induce the Legislature to tevive the charter.
