i i i i noone f TB SURFAGE GAR "LINES ABREE TO - IMPROVE SERVICE -Promise Board They Will Maintain Maximum Sched- ule—Monthly Conference. Representatives of sixteen car lines fm Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Richmond were put on their honor to-day by the Transit Commission to maintain a maximum of service, to keep their equipment im goon and sanitary condition and to generally comply with the wishes and the desires of the commission In the matter of service and equipment, rather than be subjected to peremp- tory orders, such as the B. R. T. and 1. R. T. transit systems recently were. Believing it inexpedient as well as impracticable to issu® ppecific sem orders on each of the surface car line in the city, the ‘Transit Commissicn resorted to a policy of general super vision of operation through the me- dium of monthly conferences. To make known its wishes in this regard, the commission to-day held a “feld- day” for surface car lines and the ac credited representatives consented to do all they could physically and finan- cially to maintain their service snd equipment up to the standards re- quired by the commission. The representatives also agreed to meet and treat with the Transit Commission once every month in the office of Gen. Lincoln C. Andrews, executive officer of the commission, with a view to exchanging ideas and suggestions and to generally confer on service, equipment, plant and schedules. In opening the session Chairman McAneny outlined the pur- pose of the conference by saying: “The testimony taken with relation to the surface companies has covered not only the manner and frequency of operation of cars, but t#6 condition of equipment and physical status gen- erally. The commission, in the re- quirements that will be made of these companies in the immediate future, will be guided, naturally, by the in- formation thus obtained. At the pres- ent stage, however, it desires to re ceive and place upon the record the recommendations of the Chief Execu- Gen, Andrews, under tive Officer, whose direction the matter of regula- tion has been proceeding, and under whose immediate authority future op- eration will proceed.’* “The orders of the Commission es- tablishing specific schedules and re- quiring radical improvements in the number of trains and cars operated by ‘the Rapid Transit lines have al- ready been given effect,” said Gen. Andrews, “In my judgment un or- der prescribing fixed schedules of operation in the case of the surface companies would prove a handicap io their efficient operation. Unlike the rapid transit lines, sur- face lines are subject to frequent fluctuations of schedule to meet changing local and weather condi- tions. It requires a highly skilled and experienced operating department to be able, even approximately, to have the surface cars on hand where and when they are needed. The apearance of the cars, thelr cleanliness and suit- ability for service, courtesy of em- ployees, safety and efficlency of op- eration are matters of pride as well as of personal responsibility to the operator. “I believe,’ Gen. Andrews con- tinued, that the Commission can obtain far better service for the pub- Me by leaving this responstbility up- on the operator and holding him to It, and by setting up proper stan- dards of service to be met by progres- sive steps as rapidly as the condition of each company permits. We should be able, through the cooperation of the companies, to improve the details of service until ultimately New York BATHIN BONWIT TELLER &CO Reduced to Close Out FOR WOMEN AND MISSES Silk Beach Frocks 7.95 Formerly 10.75 to 16.50 Models of fine quality black taffeta or satin.
