rapid transit, and they want TO travel comfortably TOO
They don't get much consideration IRON the CITY rail-
road companies now and II things be changed so
that the travelling public can be benefited, Tor one
won't stand In the way.
Mr.. GRAPF (rep. Every one who travels on city
car should have a seat and the companies should be
made to their In sufficient numbers 10 accom-
modate the travelling public.
Mr. HAYES lrepl-in the Arctic regions where tho
car companies don't do very lively business, fellow
can get seat on sled and travel pretty we'll Why
can't the city horse car companies accommodate US
then Seriously the crush system in New York Is an

present regulation of seat no fare subject will be-
beneficial Something must DO done for the travelling
public in the city.

carefully considered II II is intended TO amount 70 any
thing II will | think, be a rather difficult task to
all the ground necessary TO put end TO the
overcrowding OF to afford each passenger seat
and all that will vote according TO my best Judgment
of what is right and proper when the time comes
Mr.. SLEvIN dem. III have not examined the bill
closely. There may be features IN II that may
with my approval, but the intent OF the meas
is good Passengers, At certain times or the
day. ON certain INES have to put up with great deal
that think might be remeded
Mr.. STRAHAY rep.l-The time will come when
travel will be better regulated in New York than II
now is The bill learn, has for its object the COM
fort of the passenger II legislation effect that
am in favor OF such legislation.
Mr.. Warts (rep.)-The subject of overcrowding
the cars has been sore to New Workers for
years Whether the Legislature can better things ID
hard TO tell There many sides to the question,
but have no doubt all the New York members will dc
all they can the benefit of the people there when
they have TO tackle the subject
