At all hours between 7 A: M. arid 7 P. M. subway cars are overcrowded. At any hour oi 2 Trains are of insufficient dength to handle the number of passengers. Between 10.32 A. M. and 2.32 P.

Investigation established that “the letter of the Jaw,” the servicé con- tinues poor. The requisite number of trains are being run. .Congestion and crowding are unavoidable In rush hours, but the fault lies in the letting down of "| efficiency 4n the eo-called “non-com- missioned hours” of light trafic be- tween the morning and evening rush. {Short trajns.are then rug, and al- though the traffic is lighter, this cut~ ting out of cars results in over- crowding and discomfort.

Investigations of conditions on the east side subway at the Grand Cen- tral Station showed the same results, Time was lost between trains and in mid morning the crowds on the plat- forms became swelled beyond what would be normal in the rush hour.
