ON BOGE QOD AL NES ~ TO WULAMSBURG (Continued From First Page.) the job might be completed in about @ week. Mr. Minden eald an investigation shopwed the cables intact save for! damage done by the blaze, which would not have been the case had short circuit from the feeders started the fire, “Following a fire on the bridge in iay @ year ago,” said Mr. Minden, for changing the feeders to ov cad were submitted to the De- partment of Plant and Structures and ais® to the Public Service Commis- siof. They were approved In August fast, but tt was not untl May of this year that the formal authority for the wrork was granted by the city. Since that time shortage of labor and pressure of other matters,” continued ‘the general manages, “had hindered work on changing the feed cables to overhead. ‘The 200,000 persons affected by the damage to the bridge are those who dadly travel back and forth from Ja- New York, Brownsville, Bustrwick. Richmond Hill and Wiiliemabure. CONFUSION WHEN RUSH HOUR CROWDS ARRIVE. There was considerable confusion when these passengers beean to ar- rive et the bridge this morning and found the tracks were out of scryice. All passengers were ordered from te elevated trains at Marcy Avenue and Broadway, and transfer elipe were doled out to continue the trip to Manhattan on the B. R. T. surface Mines, which were not tnterfered with by the fire. These lines are on the apposite sido from those used by the Manhattan cars, which were tied up. ‘Thousands of Brooklynites, late for Work, broke across the plaza to catch the surface cars, while twen- ty-five inspectors of the B. R. T. and A e@pecial detail of policemen under Lieut. Louls Kreusch and Sergt. Charles Nedig of Bedford Avenue Sta- tion did thetr best to herd them into some semblance of order. ‘The company put on 120 extra cars, . making the headway over the bridge about thirty seconds instead of a min- ute and a half, the usual sohedule. ‘These were entirely inadequate to carry the crowd, and automobile and motor truck drivers bound for Man- hattan came to the rescue. Many of the drivers proved to be good fellows and carried the workers without charge. Others, among them several on sight seeing buses, de- manded and got 25 cents from each pussenger. Every vehicle that crossed was crowded with as many as it could carry. Bernard Kinke, No, 91 Cook Street, bumped his head on a steel pillar while riding across on a truck and was attended by Dr. Lande of Gou- verneur Hospital. THOUSANDS STORM PHONES TO REPORT “LATE.” When the crowds eontinuing their trip on the surface cars reached De- incey Street they had to change “again to the “red cars" and “green curs” and pay another fare to get to their destinations, Telephbnes were stormed by the crowd to break the news to stores, offices and shops that the Brooklynites would be late to work. Even traffic over Brook- lyn Bridge was delayed by conges- ion due to the rerouting of as much traffic as could be sent by that route. The fire started shortly after 1 A. M. under the “L" tracks 200 feet west of the Brooklyn tower and spread over a space of 260 feet. It put out ) of commission the tracks carrying trains from Canarsie, Jamaica and | Ridgewood to Chambers Street sta- tion, under the Municipal building. It | also destroyed the tracks of the Man- hattan surface lines. The Green line operates cars through th and Bighth Streets, over the bridge und looping back to Manhattan. The Red line operates the Grand Street cars over the same loop. The tracks of these surface lines ne twisted ike those of the Coney Island ecentc railroads. The stringers under the L wacks are bent into shape The Jamaica-Chambers Street line will be routed over Brooklyn Bridge until repairs are made.

People are clamoring for new sites and new buildings in all parts of the greater city. Dr. Prall explains that to the as- sessed value of over a million dollars for the proposed new sites, a million dollars must be added for the pur- chase of buildings on them, which must be destroyed. The places where new schools are absolutely necessary are Harlem, the Bronx, #y Brownavifle, Borough «Park, Coney | Island, Williamsburg and the vicinity of Bast 12th Street and First Ave Manhattan, though thei wirts of the city inn ure ott ly as great need As to the cost of the improvement to taxpayers, Dr. Prall say# that no demands were made on taxpayers by previous administrations for the nec- evsary growth of the schools and the present burden in merely de- ferre® accumulation of taxes which should have been paid through the last five or six years, He estimates that if $10,000,000 were raised in bonds under Chapter No, 658 of the Jawa of 1918 and $30,000,000 more in the tax budget of 1921 the increase will be less than four-tenths of one per cent. over the tax rate of this year. a a EDWARDS REVI EWS TROOPS.
