Conditions were so bad that the Reception Hospital «nd the New York Hoepital reported to Police Commissioner McKay that they could go longer answer ambulance calls. Dr, Howell of New York Hospital said: “The gasoline motor ambulances became stalled first. Then we tried the electric ambulances, but they were stalled. We are trying to get horses now to go back to the old-time service, but we can't get them.” Because the officials profited by the last storms and got to work early, surface traffic was in better condition to-day than immediately after the Jast storm. Cars moved, though slowly and not on schedule, fm Manhatten and the Bronx. Brooklyn found many of its lines com- pletely tied up, but the elevated trains ran at intervals, ‘The subway has been almost swamped by its efforts to handle the extra traffic put 1 on it, but hes rendered splendid service, despite the Ferries were put out of business.

LOCOMOTIVE TAKES TRAIN AS FAR AS TUNNEL, One train on the Montauk brancb came in from Babylon and officials were certain it would be the only train to arrive, for no more trains were down the line, and none could be sent. It was brought from Jamaica to the tunnel by a steam locomotive, its crew reporting that the electric power bad fatled them completely. A train from Rockaway arrived also, but they were the only ones to enter the big station where hundreds of per- wonn were crowded inquiring anxious- ly when they could get trains out of town, Word came from Jamaica that the new station there was jammed with pereona who had walked, in ome in- stances for miles, expecting to get to their work from this big junction point. Accordingly the railroad made an at- tempt to run some sort of service from Jamaica and several trains were sent out to attempt the journey. Vice-President Willer of the New |" York Central, in charge of passenger traffic said at noon that conditions along the line from Peekskill to Syr- acuse were the worst in his expert- ence, The electric service on the Hudson Division broke down early in the morning and all electric trains were abandoned, Steam locomotives were ect out to push in auch electric trains as were on the road between the Grand Central station and Croton.
