In this obligation Mr. Shonts withdrew a pervious de- mand tnat the city make good annual deficits in operation of the Brooklyn lines. At that time the Interborough and the B. R. T. were rivals for the juicy proposition of handling the summer traffic to Coney Island and the im- mensb semi-suburban traffic to be built wp in South Brooklyn by subway extensions, THE COSTLY “BUT” FOR SEA- SHORE VISITORS. The Coney Island plum was finally handed over to the B. R. ‘'T. under a contract signed between that corpo- ration and its subsidiaries and the Public Service Commission on March 19, 1913, and in that contract was in- corporated a provision for a 5-cent fare between the Municipal Building ia Manhattan and Coney Island. BUT— Six years more have passed, and there now appears a “suspension” provision which, unless some power authorized by law to act for the people shall intervene, will enable the B. R. T. to collect an extra 5-cent fare from 20,000,000 people journeying from any part of Brooklyn, north of a line “approximately marked by King’s Highway, to Coney Island for months to come. The “suspension” provision Appeais in clauses (a) and (b) in the following extract from Contract No. 4, signed on March 19, 1913: WHERE THE “SUSPENSION” JOKERS ARE HIDDEN. Article LXIL—The Le: during the term of this c de entitled to charge for fare upon the rai existing railroads th (5) cents but not more; provided, | however, that the provisions of this article shall not prevent the leasee from continuing to charge “until the time when trains may be operated for continuous trips wholly over connected portions of | the railroad (including both the Culver Line and Subdivisions VU of the Broadway-Fourth Avenue Line) from the Municipal Building, in the Borough of Man- hattan, to the points at or near Coney Island, at which the con- struction of the railroad shall bo suspended as provided in Ar- ticle Vl—the same fare for a continuous ride over the existing railroads and over the railroad and the existing railroads as that charged for a continuous ride over the existing railroads at the end of the fiscal year ending dune 80, 1912. Article VIl.—As, in the opinion gf the Commission, the public in- terest justifies the following pro- vision, it is further provided: (a) ‘That the, construction of the portion of the Culver Line between Avenue X and Surf Ave- nue, or any particular part there- of, shall be snspended during the pleasure of the Commission, If the lessee will provide and keep available for use, in lieu of such portion, a railroad owned or con- trolled by the lessee or by New York Consolidated Railroad Com- pany connecting the Culver Line with the less Union Terminal immediately north of Surf Ave- nue in Coney Island, which, with the railroad, less such portion as to which construction is so sus- ed, shall form a continuous and convenient route. (b) That the construction of the portion of Subdivision VUL of the adway-Fourth Avenue Line between a point near Ave- ind Surf Avenue shall 1 during the pleasure of ud keep avai for eu of such of not in accord. In other worde, the {bill provides machinery for over- ruling the decision of the duly elected Public officers on a purely adminis- trative matter by popular vote. “The power to give relief lies with the elected officials, and, so far as the City of New York is concerned, I am Informed by the city reprosentative at Albany that the Board of Estimate and Apportionment 1s now consider- ing and working out a two-platoon system.” A published report to-day that the members of the New York City Fire Department were contemplating re- signing in a body aroused no interest in Fire Headquarters beyond annoy- ance. It was explained that the yarn was absurd, but was based on a very natural impatience of the men to get certain improvements in their work- ing conditions which had been post- poned for nearly two years by the war. Away from headquarters it was learned from the utterances of indi- vidual firemen that their Impatience was supplemented vy resentment against the Hylan administration for making election promises which have been repudiated offictally, Chief Kenton said: “Just defo the war the firemen came to me with a perfectly just grievance about their working hours, I told them that with the great number of firemen who must be withdrawn to go into the army it was impossible to make any changes then, but I promised them we would re-arrange matters after |the war. “All but 125 of the men who went into the army are back at work. For several weeks Deputy Chief Kuss has been working out a schedule to give us a two-platoon system, which will be satisfactory to the firemen. The |defects of the two-platoon schedule which failed in 1904 have been elim- inated, “The new schedule will not affect the whole department, but {t will re- |lieve conditions in crowded parts of the city where the firemen are hardest worked, “To apply the new system to the | whole clty will require 700 a lditional men and they cannot be obtained un- til money {s available. The present payroll with about 6,300 men is §7,- 688,880.” Firemen interviewed in engine houses said Mayor Hylan made a defi- nite promise of @ two-platoon system in his npaign, pledging hi:aself to an increase of the payroll to make it practicable. No action was taken in that direction and the firemen took oon plan to Albany calling for only elght hours a day duty by each man. The bill passed, Corporation Counsel McGoldrick went to Albany and opposed it, saying: “New York City iy not in a financial condition to increase the Fire Department payroll at this time, —_ Guernsey Ball Brings $25,000, \o00, aaid to be @ new record price for any animal of its breed.
