«FREE TRANSFERS in Past, after having been a familiar spot } to several generations of downtown workers, Second Ave. Company Starts! ror years it nas run day ann night, | Fight in Courts, Calling Ser- vice Board Order Illegal. OTHERS WILL FOLLOW. | Surface Lines Say They Can't Give Change Slips Away | and Make Money. | The Public Service Commission will | be compelled to fight for the mainte- nance of all the 161 transfer points It , has ordered into effect Jan. 1. George ‘W. Lynch, recetver for the Second Avenue Company, has attacked the or- er of the commission as illegal by proceedings in the Supreme Court, and the commission 1s fully aware to-day that the attack means all of the other | companies {uvolved will become parties | to the suit and take the long-standing | effort to force transfers into the courts for more delay. | The Second avenue company asked for! ‘write of certiorari, upon which Justice Fora issued the order yesterday. In| plain English, the company asks that! the commission be required to certity to the Court the record of its order} of last August, under which the Third Avenue Railroad Company, the Second Avenue Ratlroad Company, the Central Park, North and Kast River Rallroad Company and the Metropolitan Street! Railway Company were required “to! make joint rates and to establish) through routes,” by which transfers would be given to the pubitc. ‘Then, upon this record, the companies @ppeal to the courts to have the order set aside as illegal and unconstitutional, CAN'T COMPLY WITH ORDER AND MAKE MONEY. ‘The contention of the companies, in a word, is that they cannot comply with the orders and make money. They charge: That the Commissioners did not Properly weigh the evidence upon that point. That the revenues under the order would not provide a reasonable profit ‘on the value of property used in the Public service, ‘That it prevents creating a sult- able reserve fund. That the Commission disregarded Droper evidence as to the value of the companies’ property and the money invested in the business. That the present income !s not suf-) ficient to yleld a fit return. That the Commission had no right to make one line share Its trafic re- ceipts with a competing line. That the order deprives the com- panies of the right of contract and | of thelr property without. due pro- | | cess of law. Incidentally the entire Public Service law dy attacked as unconstitutional, be- oaune it deprives the companies of their |FAMOUS PARK ROW PLACE SEEING ITS LAST HOURS, Buildings to Be Razed for Goldback & Gerlach opened a saloon! shoulders and propels him into the|tired from the Mire Department there. and mlx _ | j Mberty and pro: without due pro- | cess of law and denies the equal protec- tion of the laws.

The effect of the appeal ts to put all of the 151 transfer points ordered up in the air pending the court decision.
