The percentage of cards immediately returned to con- ductors and station agents was about 10 per cent On the Fulton Street Itne a Brook- lyn resident boarded the car at No- strand Avenue and Fulton Street. After reading the card he rose and ad- dressed the comfortably packed car ot riders. He admonished them not ‘to sign the cards and suid that it was an obvious attempt on the part of the B. R.
