AY f VEN TO Vee ) . _ THE EVENING WORLD, SATURDAY, IC EXPRESSION FAVORS A) NEW TRANSIT PLAN; VIEWS EVENING WORLD e Most All Desire Retention of t!mpson Street, the Bronx—I am not Five-Cent Fare With Free Transfers. FIRST DEFINITE PLAN. Few Oppose It and These Only on Far Off Possibilities, Inquiry by Eventng World report- @rs among all classes of citizens in all parts of the city indicates that the plan of reorganization of the transit systems and municipal own- ership and operation proposed by the Transit Commission has the over- whelming indorsement of the public. A surprisingly large number of the Persons approached said they had ead the plan, and all those who had mot read it sald they would do so at the earliest opportunity. The guarantee of a 5-cent fare for at least a year, and the proposal to put fares on a basis pf paying the ex- penses of operation rather than divi- dends and other forms of profit com- manded the widest approval. There . Was considerable opposition to the plan of municipal operation, but against one unfavorable opinion there were ten favorable. A few practical politicians and of- ficeholders condemned the plan, but it was plain that their opposition qwas prompted by politicat motives. The expressions obtained by The Evening World establish that the man on thr street favors the Transit Commis- fiun’s recommendations, believing that they will solve the traction prob- Jem and give New York City what it entitled to by virtue of kested and enormous population—the cheapest and most iicient transpor- tation system in the worl Following are opinions gathered at random in stores and offices and fac- tories and on the streets: WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY ABOUT THE PLAN. WILLIAM A. CHURCH, lawyer, author and clerk of Yorkville Police Court—The Transit Commission's re- port is remarkable for the brilliancy of Its logic and its sound judgment It is a product of genius. The time has come when the public tg entitled to more comfort and courtesy in tran- sit accommodations.

AL_ REYNOLDS, architect, South- ern Boulevard and 163d Street—The Proposition 1s no doubt for political reasons and the public at large will not accept it without misgiving.

Everybody who rode .on the railroads during the war knows what Gavernment management was. GEORGE W. LOFT, candy manu- facturer and ex-Congressman—I have had time to read omly the headlines, but if they are correct I assume the Transit Commission recommends mu- nicipal ownership and operation. If that is so, Mayor Hylan was more far seeing than the ‘commission, for he made that recommendation long ago. PLAN SHOULD BE GIVEN A TRIAL. MAURICE H.

Marguerite Mooers Marehall.® “Love never dies!” That is the old, old text around which is built a newly revealed story of a woman's love and loyalty, a story sounding atrange to the ears of mod- ern men and women whose love dies daily in the divorce court and to whom loyalty has rather the air of an Out-moded virtue. The story was told me by its heroine, Mrs. Felicite I.
