' Use Little! Rab Dry! bi Pe cat fe THE EVENING WORLD, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1919, Bundonment of 55 Miles of New York Street Car Trackage from the New York Railways system because of the local transit chaos, the abandonment means that the New York Raflways has lately lost about fifty-five! miles of trackage Pre- dictions of the receiver of the system, Job BE, Hodges, as well as of the Fed- eral Court, indicate that the Sixth Avenue line and the Fourth and Mad- ifén Avenue line will Likely join the list of roads dissolved from the sys- tem, and th's will bring the total trackage turned back to original owners or entirely abandoned up to eighty-three miles. Plans now formulating call for a bare skeleton of the former service accorded the public travelling on sur- face cars. They promise double and triple fares where formerly 6 cents was sufficient, Nearly all of those transfer points at which 2-cent trans- fers were obtainable since Aug, 1 will go into the discard, and leave the travelling public no alternative but fares at 10 and 16 cents. EXASPERATING TIMES AHEAD FOR STREET CAR PATRONS. An idea of the havoo wrought in the system can best be gleaned from a summary of what will be left of the main travelling arteries for the pas- senger who has been travelling up or downtown on gurface cars. Should the Madison Avenue and Sixth Ave- nue lines be dissociated from the New York Railways system there will re- main ut one route for the west sider to go downtown for 5 cents, and even | then he must transfer at 6th Street | and Columbus Avenue. For the east sider there will remain only the Lex- jogton Avenue line. The west sider | can, under the proposed system, travel | no further north than 116th Street and the east sider no further than Uist Street. Free transfers, across town, already almost eliminated, will be practically unknown and most of) the 2-cent transfer privileges will be 4 thing of history With the dissolution of the Eighth Aventte Line fifteen transfer points were discontinued and only one re- maing, to the 69th Street crosstown and thence to the Lexington Avenue or Madison Avenue Line Even this transfer privilege is be- eved to be a matter of only a short duration, as the Eighth Avénue offi- clals are contemplating @ plan to eliminate it, The dropping of the Ninth Avenue Line from the New York Railways system involves the discontinuance of thirteen transfer points, previous- ly free. Because of a franchise agree- ment it will, however, ptill be possi- ‘ble to use the Columbus-Lenox line from 116th Street and then, with a free transfer, board a Ninth Avenue car south, at 6th Street and Cojum- bus Avenue. Until the Sixth Avenue system is cut away from the system, & passenger will be able to travel north as far as 146th Street. On the east side the Lexington Avenue line is still immune from at- tack of chaos. It has thirteen trans- fer pointa The Fourth and Madison Avenue line, witch is ed wee hagas To ee ies line take, the route of the Broad~ way-Amnsterdam Avenue up to 59th Street and Boventh A ie. The Co- Jumbus-Lenox line, 8 proposed, will cover:the gl Broadway-Colum- bus route, as fat, north as 146th and Lenox Avenug until such time as the Sixth Avenue system is returned by the New York Railways system to i's owners. LOWER EAST AND WEST SIDERS IN A DILEMMA. The discontinuance of the four storage battery lines has created steat dissatiafaction in the lower sast and west idé. | The Madison Streat line, from Chambers Street ferry to Grand Street ferry, covered @ trackage of more than four miles. The Averue © ling, from Bast 25d Street to Desbrosses Street ferry, cov ered almoat soven miles of trackage.
