Staten Islanders who live at Four Corners, Concord, Stapleton and Richmond were heard to remark bit- terly this morning that the “election is’ over,” following certain changes put into effect to-day in the municipal trolley service to which Administra- tion ofators had pointed with pride while the campaign was on. Oné of the complaints is about the abolition.of the through car service from Port Richmond by way of Con- cord to the ferry. the trip 6n one car the passengers who boarded, for instance, at Four Corners learned that they must trans- fer to a shuttle at Sunnyside, then transfer from the shuttle to another r at Concord. Some of them com- plained that in addition to the incon- venience o%/two changes and the loss | of seats, it took an hour and forty- | five minutes for a journey they used to make in twenty-five minutes. Richmond people complained of a reduction in the number of cars to Stapleton and said the trip formerly made in twenty-two minutes took more than an hour this morning. At the Concord office of the De- partment of Plant and Structures it was admitted that the service was curtailed. No explanation was offered. ane eaten &. S. SBLLS RAIL CERTIFICATES.
