t peeeh ane STATEN ISLAND'S | TRANSFER DEMAND GHOWING POPULAR Public Waking Up to Evening World’s Fight for Trans- | portation Justice. QUEER DISCRIMINATION. {slanders Can Help Pay for Bridges, but They Must | Get No Ferry Benefits. The fight being waged by The Evening World for an extension of the present system of transfers be- tween the Staten Island Ferry and the Manhattan surface cars, so as to in-| clude the elevated lines, fas met with instant and hearty approval of Staten Island residents generally, and many of the civic bodies are prepar- ing to organize a vigorous campaign in behalf of this improvement to the transportation facilities of Staten Dock Commissioner Smith several Weeks ago recommended the abolition of the trarsfers on the theory that It was cauring the city a loss, besides impairing the ferry service owing to the use being made of the transfers by excursionists. The recommenda- tion was opposed, and the Transit Committee of the Board of Estimate refused to act on it. It is a well known fact that If well cared for, so as to permit travel with comfort and convenience, no one raises objection to the cost of main- taining roads and bridges being charged to the whole city and not red a ‘charge against any portions of it; it is simply inci- tal to the whole city’s welfare. curiously the so-called Staten Island Ferry, which is equally the hattan Ferry, must in the minds of some be treated upon a different It must be operated so as to money, a loss being little short of crime. The city “is being seriously deficit and property own- ers in the Borough of Richmond are receiving charity at the hands of the other ” Some people actual- THE MANHATTAN “L” ROADS. Te extend trancfers to the Man- hattan Elevated Railroad system would be an advantage to that ¢om- pany and would increase the con- Venlenee of many ferry travellers, It is that until the new sub- we been put into operation tan and Brooklyn, it would be futile to suggest an ex- change of transfers there at present. In Manhattan, as has been fairly well demo: ‘ted, only a emall por- tion of the travellers make use of the facilities for over one and a half miles in distance, consequently the railroad company is getting very full, even excessive, payment for the ser- vice rendered. If the same system could be put into effect—exchange In transfers at the Staten Island end—it would create a great benefit, but the ‘ond'tion is materially different. Tho ransportation companies now carry their passengers for very long dis- tances, from two to even five miles, so that they could not afford to give the same kind of terms that the New York Railways Company can profitably afford, but nevertheless could handsomely afford some com- mutation concession. While those who reside in the Borough of Richmond have the greatest interests in this question Of equality in fare with other por- tions of the city, it must not be overlooked that excursionists (tax- payors and rent payers) fopm other parttons of the city might feel them- solves reasonably entitled to just as Tow terms for occasional travel as those, go regularly, for they halp to pay final bilis, But cus- tom practice, It might he that a greater good to a larger number could be secured through a commutative system, by which a low rate of fare could be granted to all those who desire to travel regularly, while the occasional user would etil) nay a five-cent fare STRANGE DISCRIMINATION AGAINST STATEN ISLAND. Bmpliasis should be laid upon the two facts that the ferry between Manhattan and Richmond bears the same moral relationship to the City of New York at large as do bridges ys, so that the question ‘ost, and profit or loss, pe, immaterial; further, the Borough tt Richmond, has been for years pay~ ing @ considerable sum of money pwually, avowedly for the purpose or permitting subway construction for the benefit of the other borough from which it has had _no_beneft SFLECT THE GOOD FROM THE BAD Choose the medicine that will kive you relief from pain without dangerous after- effects. ay's Ready Relief, entirely free from opiates or narcotic: n be safely nsed internally or externally to stop Palm. tied externally, Radway's Ready Rel pple’ ruickly ease such pains arising from neuralgia, rheum: bruises, conges' tions and [os mn ‘sed internally, # half to @ teaspo brat ‘a tumbler of water, will in a w minutes relieve cramps, diarrhoea, spasms, Summer complaint and all bowel Pret emaber, way’s Ready Relief Pps At ! ” or harmful contain 00 Pete and reliable, medi HOW STATEN ISLAND PAYS AND WHAT IT DOESN'T GET In increased taxes the Bor- ough of Richmond pays toward the subways, an- nually .. . ‘The rapid transit benefit enjoyed from this taza- tion ts... ..

Tho present transfer system di- rectly benefits a few thousand in- dividuals, but the whole gains in an advertising way, and « greater benefit would accrue through the*sought-for elevated transfers. The Dock Commissioner seems to fear that the boats will become too sae? Ue too popular, so that more ats and more frequent trips may be needed—rather a Wtrained argu ment to present—one perhaps requir- ing a curtailment even of present concessions, From a very selfish point of view of thoroughly satisfied, well aceom- modated residents, there ts something in this argument, but from the = gauged outlook of throwing beautiful Richmond open to the hundreds of thousands of poor, cramped dwarfed apartment dwellers and the opening of thousands of acres of ideal Janda, there is nothing In it. ———>>_——_— JOHN D.’LL BE AN ANGEL, THESE GOOD FOLK THINK Certainly, Oil King Will Go to Heaven, Declare Delegates to Christian Science Convention, CHICAGO, July 10.—“Will John D. Rockefeller go to Heaven or to Hell?” This question was asked of leading delegates to the Christian Endeavor League, in convention here, and they unanimously answered that he will go to Heaven. Charles M. Fillmore of Indianapolis, writer of Evangelical songs, sald: “John D. Rockefeller ts not to blame for being the richest man. I believe he is honest, sincere and philanthrop- ical, If I were to judge I would say: ‘Well done, good and faithful servant enter ye the Kingdom of Heaven.’” W. J.

That the rapid tra..it subways will not add grea‘ to the number of private d-vellings in the suburbs is shown by new building operations of the first half of the year.

Thin nets, muslins and crepes are om~- ployed generously for the daintiest creations, and they gather and plait so prettily that one cannot deny their appropriateness to immense fulness. Many frocks of such material disdain the use of any contrasting trimming and form thelr own material into bands applied by hemstitching or ruf- fles hemmed with the same popular stitch. However, in opposition to these delightfully eimple and daintily demure creations, are frocks of the same sheer materials, elaborately trimmed with various kinds of laces one’s mind the “lingerie” frock of years ago. But, as a matter of fact, it is quite different from those lion and insertion laden affairs whose quirked and twirled caprices of inser- tion were emphasized by the colored slips worn under them. ‘These elips generally formed a lin- ing to the sleeves and reached clear up to the ne for indeed anything other than teh neck known, But are low neck, in the cool transparency of it all to P.

The Borough Democracy has ap- pointed the following a committee to arrange for 4 monster outing to be held at Midland Park, Grant City, Aug. 7: Sylvester McGrath, Richard Manhattan, which was the chief flat house centre for builders only a few years ago, has fallen to fourth in the number of its new structures, although it holds second the total outlay, the great activity in the Bronx passing it by nearly $2,000,- 000, Yet Manhattan also is forgt well ahead of its 1914 volume. builders filed plans for 98 houses dui ing the year’s first half to cost $9,982. 500, They contain 3,430 apar for 12,109 families. The entire output of last year was 115 houses with 3,982 apartments for 13,500 persons at a cost of $18,601,000. Many new Manhattan structures re of the twelve-story type, with cost averaging around $500,000 each. The average for the 98 was $101,860, or $3,000 for each family. This show appreciable drop from last y operations, which made averages of $161,750 for each house and $4,670 for each family. Butlders have been impressed by the needs of economy and have striven to cut constructional costs. The averages for 1913 were $175,400 for each house and $4,862 for cach family. ‘The main reductions in verages of the past half year hi fected in the Wi ington Heights sec- tion where five-story and six-story houses have been started in large numbers. In the old central Manhat- tan districts, activity has been con- fined mainly to the fashionable West End and Park Avenue localities where twelve-story houses are the rule, and the average costs have been held high suit the Incomes of wealthy tenants. Queens flatbuilders keep close to their 1914 record, their projects calling for 1% new houses, with 1,340 apart. ments for 4,700 persons at a cost of $1,688,500, Thetr total for all of 1914 was 274 houses with 2,554 apartments for leas thna 9,000 persons. Since the end of the half year, however, plans have been filed for a Long Island City operation involving nearly 100 houses and negotiations are pending for other big projects which promise to swell the volume of Queens work well be- yond that of 1914. The averages there are $12,600 for each house and 600 for a family. Richmond has not taken to fiat- building any more than usual. Its three new structures of the past six months call for an outlay of $130,000 to house forty-eleht families. —_—_———— CONVICTS’ AID NO AVAIL. MOUNDSVILLE, W.
