Among ether improve- ments ordered, effective next Monday, are the addition of three extra local trains in the rush hours between 5:30 and 6:30 P, M., taking up an addi- tional 2,000 passengers, | He also ordered that the rush-hour express service on the West Side lines shall be extended one bour in| the morning and one hour in the! afternoon, effective next Monday. The campaign of ‘The Evening World for better service in the Inter- | borough sub produced one mo- mentous result this morning when the company officially admitted that, there’ is room for improvement, | It went even further. It admitted that the theoretical possibility of im- provement will become an accom- | plished fact if the Public Service | Commission so orders, AN this wus Ipvely. But lovelier | Uli was the company’s sweet prom- jae of what it would do if it got a fare. “In that event,” said George , assistant to President Hed- ley, “we would give the same perfect! service that we gave before the war!" The hearing, based largely on charges made by The Evening World, | was held before Public Service Com- missioner Lewis Nixon, The Wash- ington Heights Tax Payers’ Associ- ation way represented by tts counsel, | Mayer C. Goldman Commissioner Nixon objected to any discussion of what would happen | if an increased fare were granted. ‘This man cannot answer that ques- thon,” he said, “The Public Service| Commission would decide on the ser- vice, and it would be better service, But the matter of the increased fare | is up to the city and the city has not| granted it.” The Washington Heights Tax pay- ers’ Association submitted definite! plans for improvement of the service. | Among the suggestio trains befo! and be; ation it mM capacity, eepec' Street; increasing the | decreasing the rush ains fron FISHER Bros COLUMBUS AVE BET.103 &.104"ST ° «al Bon - s. 125th St. KC 9E. 34th St. 40 eringtan Ave. Commiasionet Nixon directed he | HOME FOR ‘UNBORN BABY. company to consider the proposal nd if not why not Delay in Buropean Cablen. breakdown, A Mra, runs omnes press | ing te th o| Aban. r dl nis the man: jamond ‘T.
