x Maltbie Insists on Being Made Promptly. A STANDARD SERVICE. Increased Accommodation on the Franklin Avenue Line Ordered. Through the intervention of Corn- Missioner Milo R. Maltbie, recognized Qs the only independent member of the Public Service Commission, The Evening World hae won a partial but substantial victory for the long suffering users of the B. R. T. aurface lines. The improvements which Mr. thie insists upon being made im- tely are: tt formulation of » standard ,) vice for all B. R. T. surface rs, oF @ maximum plies to the lines in Increased service on the Frank- lin avenue iine of the Coney Is!- and and Brooklyn road, de- scribed by users as the most abominable su in yn. On raturday last the commission, on Mr. Maltbie's motion, ordered the latter improvement made immedi- | | ately. But even this was not ordered, however, until Mr. Maltbie forced the! Step by revealing the tricks em- ployed by the B. R. T. to deliber- ately make the aeers of its lines suffer. It was shown by Mr. Maltbie, through complaint made to him by ® prominent Brooklyn woman, that the B. RK. T. refused to improve its! surface line service to Coney Island ®o that it might make the public Day for the trouble and expense it caused the B. R. T. in compelling that corporation to give universal transfers. Since the new transfer system was reluctantly adopted by the H. R. T. the Coney Island serv- ico has been growing worse dally. Milo.R, Maltbie of the Public ~er- vice Commission made it plain to- day he intends to take up the fight | ta1 for an improved B.R. T. service ingle-Handed, if the other members if the Commission fail to give their support. Following up the order of the Commission on Saturday requir- ing more cars and an improved ruu- ning schedule on the Franklin avenue |. Une to Coney Isiand, Commissioner Maltbie declared to-day for a reur- rangement of all the B, R. T. echea- ules.

The Public Service Commission, on the recommendation of Commissioner Williams, to-day fixed the rate of fare on all B. R. T. trains from Manhattan to Rockaway Beach at fifteen cents.
