Clifton W. Wilder, Chief Mectrical Engineer of the Public Service Com- minsion, took the stand to-day and very vividly described to the Com- minsioners almost unbelievable condi- | tions found in the subways. He ox- | plained why wooden cars are a ter- ible menace to the lives of the mill- fons of people who use these under- Ground ratiways and backed up his atements with reports from his eub- dinates showing that the entire underground system of the Interbor- ‘company is as inflammable as @ fuse and would carry death and ruction with it many miles once js fire gained suMicient headway. The testimony was given at the firet of a nories of hearings which will not only result in the abolition of all wooden cars, but will also clear the paper. “There are 476 composite or wood- @n passenger cars now used in the subways,” testified Mr. Wildér, “In to these there are wooden cars used by the service cars—that {i workmen, The ears, which are of wood and have wooden side sup- well an wooden floors, were + | Island,” y have been there since, ve been given to understand are considered good for many years to come.
